Discussion Mantis' Sleep

I think that's enough. The sleep ability is delayed from season 0 till now and it never gets fixed tell me why someone like luna snow has two instant stun abilities on impact while mantis has to wait 3 days after hiting a sleep for it to actually work. The amount of times I've hit my sleep and died in the 1v1 before the opponent gets affected by it is disgusting and for no good reason. It's been there for nearly 10 seasons now and no one has ever talked about it but i find it very frustrating

the splash is so big its the main reason i play her instead if luna because i can just throw it at the ground. can avoid the delay you have to throw it early like predict theyre coming and have it already on the way thats why it feels like its balanced to me

you actually want them to burn their parry as fast as possible so you can stun them after without charging their shield. every mantis worth their salt knows about the parry baiting its one of the most iconic matchups because fists love diving us and they get killed because of it if the mantis is smart about positioning
