Let's talk about Hulkbuster's unreliable sp2 -> heavy spam. (and tigra)

I love hulkbuster. I think he is a fantastically designed champion and when he works, he really works. Really good damage and decent utility.
However, there is a bit of an issue with his sp2 -> heavy spam playstyle. Clearly this playstyle was designed for you to throw a heavy immediately after throwing the sp2 into the opponent's block and into the wall. The issue however arises when randomely the opponent will get up so fast that they interrupt the heavy or randomly hulkbuster gets pushed back far enough that the heavy will whiff. Is there some kind of algorithm that this playstyle works on some champions but not on others?
A similar issue happens with tigra when she holds her heavy to make projectiles miss but sometimes you can't punish the special because while you were holding heavy, the defender has been pushed back for seemingly no reason, thus putting them out of range of tigra's heavy attack. What's the deal? Are we supposed to try and punish sps or not?

I haven't noticed this issue with tigra, because her heavy has much longer range.
All that's needed is an increase in HBs heavy range.
Syg is more of an issue, I can deal with the spacing after sp2.
Storm X wakeup after knocking down in bugged, she skips frames. She performs instant transmission jutsu.
I can’t recall what exactly made the final blow, but kabam decided to make champions to be pushed back when they use heavy attack while the opponent is against the wall.
While some champions still can heavy chain few times, most champions can’t do it now.
If bishop chose to use light hit, that also interrupt heavy chain.
And as you said probably more....
