This is exactly the problem. In early game it is much harder to nuke someone for all of their health. If you attempt to do so and fail, then you have expended all of your mana for nothing, and they will keep coming back until you are OOM and need to recall. This is essentially rewarding players for getting hit with full combos, so long as they survive the initial burst.
