tldr: Try to use your super for big things, but don't fret when you only get one kill - it's rarely a waste.

It's a waste in the sense of opportunity cost. You may get one kill, but then a blade dancer on the other team gets 3 kills because you used your super, and didn't have it to stop him. Net loss for your team. Supers are tide turners, and if you don't use them that way, another good team will.

Of course you can't predict the future exactly, but that's what makes it interesting. Supers are a risk, and can either pay off big, or not pay off at all. If you truly think that 1 kill is the most you'll get… well then go for it.

Of course, sometimes a single kill CAN be a tide turner.
