Just...Why?
She is good now, but requires pretty high skill to play. She doesn't need a rework.

Well if you read the recent AMA you'd know that the Heroes team is not happy with how Nova is just a QM Special character, and that there's more that could be done with her. She's a bad one trick pony in essence, and practically any ranged assassin can do her job; more and better. So whipping up fresh ideas for how the character could be are useful, especially as players have brainstormed Nova as a support character for a long time.
