Part of the reason the move can deal a potentially absurd amount of ticks at once is because all the mines spawn in a line rather than all around the user. Placed right, you can set them to get hit by multiple mines at once while knocking them to kingdom come.

The fact it always spawns at the north line though can leave you open quite a bit if you try to use it while the opponent is coming from anywhere else that isn't the north-north east side.

You want it to stop dealing lots of ticks at once? It needs to be spread out. It can then be nerfed as one sees fit.
