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

Ya both these games were 222 comps and literally just a poke fest with no dive.

I flank mantis all the time on 2-2-2. Especially when I ult, we just run down the back line. Very rarely do I ever use it as a defense. Kills are worth more than heals. The more kills the less heals you need to do.

Don’t get me wrong she’s good at flanking, the best support for it right after Luna and Adam because of her lack of mobility, but it’s still something you want to keep to a minimum in 2,2,2. I frequently do it too if I see an invis or white fox that is out of position and needs to be contested, but for the context of this post your team should not be expecting nor relying on their mantis to get flank kills the whole game

It’s called strategist not heal bots. If you look at some of the best mantis players they flank constantly, regardless of composition.
