I had been under the impression that the vortex is an effective area denial/deathtrap sort of thing, until I used it in Supremacy. I would nova on some crests and guys would just walk/slide through it, get the crests, and move on. Then in Control I'd launch one in a choke point and guys just walk through it like it ain't no thang! Was the Vortex nerfed or something? Considering how deadly Aftermath is I'd expect more from my space magic...

The blast radius on nova bomb is STUPID huge, dont rely on vortex to get you the kill if you couldnt with the nuke of a nova bomb, and its definitely not supposed to be used like a trap as you stated, its not a tether.
