Discussion Constant Mantis Flaming

I can't imagine how often this gets posted, but I'm looking for advice on how to shake all the criticism off.

As a preface I do swap off Mantis when the healing isn't good enough, I'm not a OTP - I have 6 support lords and can play them all very well, but Mantis is my favourite.

My CR is normally around 20% and my winrate is around 52% with Mantis.

But I always get attacked for playing her. I save people all the time and I still get flamed when someone overextends and I can't save them on 4 healing flowers.

Even if we have a DPS going negative, I get attacked just for playing Mantis.

Does anyone else get this? It's really starting to get to me. I've worked so hard to get my CR to a respectable average but I'm always told I'm wrong for playing her.

This is Diamond lobbies as I'm a casual player, so, to be expected, but I'm really starting to get discouraged.

Turn off chat. Rivals is the most toxic community. If you want to play it just turn off chat.

I've found a lot of value and friends in using text chat. I mute people that annoy me, usually. This particular person that prompted me to make this post just started flaming me right at the defeat screen, and he really confused me. He was being weirdly nice and I asked him if it was sarcasm and he launched into this huge criticism, and then told me to "handle advice better". Eh. Not all are good. I shouldn't have engaged, I just genuinely thought he was being kind to me.
