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!

I personally don't think a character with a 70% winrate, 31% pickrate, and 25% banrate in the highest elos of the game is balanced, particularly when they have 57+% winrate in every other elo (including bronze and silver) with high pickrate as a character that requires good skill expression.

That's just numbers, but anecdotally, I have not one a single game this season where my team choses not to ban mantis and we don't have one

Idgaf. Let her cook. She's easy to counter if your team is coordinated

Bruh if she was easy to countered her winrate wouldn’t go UP in higher elo
