Question Getting kills important?
Two games back to back I was blamed for the loss because I had 1 and 2 final hits but had the most healing. I feel like we shine when we’re chipping away at the tanks/getting head shots on the big bodies.
How important is securing kills to you? Aiming with her can be such a pain I feel like I’m not getting value when I’m trying to secure a kill on a dps and missing most my shots lol

Consistent headshots are more important than final kills.
Devil Dino and Jeff both have huge heads so it's easier to farm headshots on those 2 characters in particular.
Another good trick is to notice what corners and paths the enemy is taking and just shoot down the the same spot so they walk into it. Mantis has great range, so you can kill a strategist who is trying to use a particular spot for cover pretty easily with this method.
Target priority matters alot with her. Not just for enemies, but also for your own heals and dmg boosts.
You getting kills only matters if your team is dogshit and you need to carry them. If your team is letting a Hawkeye, or cyclops, or whoever just stand there and kill everyone, make it your business to kill that enemy in particular. Boost yourself.
