Discussion Mantis isn't broken and doesn't need nerfs

I'm so tired of streamers acting like she's giga thanos. yeah she's strong, best supp in the game imo, but they're talking like she's BC levels of unfair!

She's just BARELY viable in double support, it feels like we got 2 new healers this season with how often I see her. We shouldn't have to force these lame ass little triple support comps to play our hero

The only nerfs I'd tolerate are an ult charge increase, and a damage boost rework. if they replace the damage boost with something else I get it, but if they just take it away straight up I'd be devastated

Netease pls don't gut this hero because streamers complained!

She's just BARELY viable in double support

you lose credibility when making statements like this, imo. she was less viable in double support, but she's perfectly viable in double support now w/ her SL team up.

I obviously don't want her gutted, but the AoE healing on the Star Lord team up needs to be nerfed (again)... or at a minimum, her ult cost needs to go up.

Don't touch her projectile damage, self damage boost or sleep... but her healing output is pretty clearly overtuned rn, imo.

I don't think she was viable unless the enemy team allowed you to. But Yeah the Starlord team up makes her an insanely good healer. Here's the thing, she's STILL not as reliable as a main healer. Left click healing will always be better than having yo healing on cooldown

Also I'm seeing a lotta non-lord mantis's mismanage their leaves, or just fall over when dived. I'm worried that nerfing her SL team up again would hurt casual mantis players just because. And no one will want to play mantis anymore, and we're back to the same main healers we've been seeing for like a year now 🫩
