In this clip, I cast the super while literally touching the opponent, but he simply walks backwards, avoid all damage, and guns me down before I can even move. That's just silly.
Fist of Havok is a comparable roaming super with an attack on cast, and it does not get this reduced AoE on cast. It also does not require charge up time to deal its attack like Nova Warp. I think it is reasonable to change the initial Nova Warp cast blast to be the large version, or to increase the cast animation speed.
edit: I would add that changing the initial blast is not the only solution or issue with Nova Warp. The whole super could stand some tuning. Currently it is a very high skill, very high risk, and at best normal reward for the effort super compared to basically everything else, imo. I don't mind it being a difficult-to-use super, but I do mind that is does not seem to have a commensurate level of reward for the effort required.

A little bigger, but not full charge size. That would be too much.
