My main problem with Nova now that I've run her to 15 and played some more brutal matches is that her factory units are fucking terrible. Hellbats just get themselves killed and when the hell are you going to be sitting still long enough for the increasing range on siege tanks to matter? Also, I'm pretty sure Nova's siege tanks don't have shaped blast. Liberators and Banshees are powerful but too much additional micro, and I don't like splitting between bio and mech because you can't upgrade them both without slowing down your troop production early on.
Her infantry ball really is amazing though.
I'm not super good at starcraft 2 but i play a lot of co-op. i've grown to REALLY like nova and not just her infantry. at first i thought her other units were garbage but i've grown to really like them. mostly because you can only build ghosts so fast and have to do something with the other resources.
fighting non zerg the goliath upgrade instnatly disabling any flying unit is insane. I use the siege tanks for edging out places the next objective is about to be, plus the spider mines for being able to see the battlefield to drop off folks with the griffon flying. and the ravens just for healing. so normally i build literally every ghost i can. marines when i have excess minerals. ravens when i can. and then either goliath on non zerg, or seige tanks/liberators for softening up targets before sending the snipe squad in.
i seem to basicly play nova, abathur, zagara and some times the stealth protoss
