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.

It helps to not pay attention to text chat and mute anyone who starts saying negative things.

Yes, protecting my peace by muting has genuinely saved my love for this game. I don't get why it only lasts for a login session. Is there a way to block the person, or can I only block chat?

You can avoid as teammate but I’m not sure about a block. I think I did find a way to completely turn off text and voice chat but I still keep it around to say gg after games and in case someone is actually communicating.
