The Nexus explosion isn't dramatic enough

This is a minor thing and probably something that won't change, but I feel that the end of the game, when a nexus has been destroyed, isn't dramatic enough. The music feels less dramatic and the explosion is just, well, meh. There's this red swirly thing and then a little puff. What's left is a hole in the ground and a bunch of red shards that feel rather flat. I feel the old explosion was more, well, explosive.

Explosions are a GREAT way to end a match. Everyone likes one. Payload in Team Fortress 2 is one of the most popular game modes, partly because there's a massive explosion at the end if BLU team wins. It's a nice big YAY WE BEAT THEM! vibe that I feel is lacking from this new Rift. And an explosion is way more rewarding than dancing on the corpses of the enemy team, as would often happen in Ascension.

On a related note, AI bots will run away from their exploded nexus (and away in general), but human players can't. Why's that?
