I think it's a little dumb that supers that are one and done nukes like nova bomb or chaos reach have lower damage reduction whilst roaming supers have a much higher defense.
The fact that a roaming super can one shot you out of Nova Bomb is ridiculous.
Some supers need more/less damage reduction due to increased risk. Regardless, the difference in damage reduction between something like Nova Bomb and Fists of Havoc are single-digit percentages as of Shadowkeep. (NB-49% & FoH-53%).
This is hardly noticeable whatsoever.
EDIT: Exact numbers in case you were curious.
