Remember when powers did what they said?
They still do.
What seems to be the problem friend?
"Situational power? Sure. Although in a sense... all powers are situational. It's just that some situations occur more than others." Understand the situation needed in order for the power to be most effective... and make that situation happen.
I can think of a couple. Lightning Rod doesn't mention that it can't be used while flying - or at least it didn't use to, I don't know if they fixed that. The hand-clap stun power from Electric Melee claims to be a "knock-down" but enemies are actually knocked back. And that's just off the top of my head.

LR description seems accurate. It does exactly what it advertises.
Knockdown powers are essentially the same as knockback powers. Knockdown will turn into KB when used against weaker foes, while Knockback will turn into knockdown when used against stronger foes. It's releative.

If it only knocked back weaker foes I wouldn't be complaining, would I?
