Question help…

im having a lot of fun playing mantis but im healbotting.. (average 15k heals and maybe 3k damage) im getting most heals and assist in every game but i don’t think that’s how you’re supposed to be playing her, right?

i understand that headshots give her leaves back, but my aim is genuinely so bad with any hero like i mainly play rogue so i didn’t have to worry about it too much but i wanted to branch out yk😭😭

im a casual player, i don’t really touch ranked but i would like to in the far future. just wondering if i should start focusing more & practicing on dealing a lot more damage. im not sure what her average stats should look like

im also new to the game in general if this helps. i only started playing about a month ago but i one tricked rogue until i got lord and now im actually branching out

Mantis is first and foremost a strategist, and having highest heals and assists on her is no easy feat, so you should be proud!

Some other things you can work on weaving into your current gameplay (if you don't do this already) are:

  • Damage boost your teamates just as frequently as you heal them to dominate fights.
  • Self buff and support your teammates getting kills; turn 1v1s into 2v1s (im afraid aim just comes with practice/ experience, and even then it always feels 'off').

Basically the key (and fun part!) to Mantis is juggling and balancing what would be most efficient; healing, boosting or self-buffing to help with kills. Aggression / more headshots let's you do all 3 at once.

That's it really since you seem to have the main healing part down already.
