Using supers out of panic

So there's something that has irritated me ever since I downloaded the destiny app and started browsing the forums. This would be all the posts about "fist of panic", "panic pistol", etc. one thing people tend to forget when writing these posts is the composition of the other team. By the time you have your first super up, you have had a decent amount of time to evaluate the opposition. If I have noticed that they are a team that tends to run together, I will save my super to use on more than one person but, if they are a team full of independent players that run around individually, why not use it to save yourself against a single player? You may never get an opportunity to take out more than one opponent and the sooner you use your super, the sooner you can get your next one. This isn't "panicking." This is analyzing your competition and making the wisest decision. I'm not saying that this is everyone's thought process because there are definitely players that use their super in a moment of panic. What I am saying is that not all players are using these supers as a crutch. If you have made it this far, thank you for listening to my rant. A bump would be appreciated to spread this information. Edit 1: thanks for the feedback everyone! Almost 100 replies! Lots of differing opinions here and lots of good points. One glaring exception to my above argument is control. I feel you should pretty much always be able to get more than one kill per super in a control match. Also, I feel the need to clarify that I am not saying that all players that only kill one opponent with their super are "highly analytical and tactical" crucible contenders. Some people definitely use there super to save their ass in a moment of panic! My major point here is that there is a difference between a panic super and a calculated super! Edit 2: well over 100 replies. Sometimes, I love this community. If I could, I would give you all ghorns! Edit 3: once again, I've seen a lot of complaining about "panic supers" on the forums. Some of it is warranted and some is just idiotic. Smh.
