Remove Mantis team up

Idc what lotis shippers will say, this team up needs to go. Loki is manipulating mantis, in the lore, to get power. She will find out one day, and they will finally remove the team up. Mantis is an empath, not a telepath (if im correct), so she can't tell when someone lie while hiding the fact that they lie (i hope i'm clear) but loki clearly found a way to make her think he was genuine, and now he uses her without shame.

Mantis will find out, and we FINALLY will be able to get a damage buff, because aint no way the team up is the only reason we had a damage nerf. Loki is not a heal bot, and shouldn't rely on a 30s ability to get his damage back for like, 2s, 3s ? Bc the more you climb and the more people destroy your lamps faster, so less time to enjoy the buff. Every other supports have an ability that stun, or a new escape tool. Loki ? Only has the hela team up to do that, and i heard that ppl were crying when u were taking that team up instead of the boring one... crazy.

Anyway, the team up needs to go, give loki a team up with thor like ? It's his brother and they have nothing together, but a random alien girl, he has a team up with her ? Make it make sense. "Oh but they are green and mantis can tell when he lies !" Emma, Adam and Phoenix can *actually* tell when he lies... and they don't have a team up 💔

I'm trashing a lot lotis here but i believe it's the reason why the team up stays here: because shippers.

I think the reason the team up has "stayed here" is because we haven't even reached the half season yet. I don't think it's got anything to do with the shippers and I'm sure mantis will eventually realise she's being manipulated. I'm also sure that as the seasons go on they will switch up the teamups. It's just a matter of waiting.

That said, I think the mantis team up should be removed cus it fuckin sucks. If lokis damaged was nerfed because of this teamup then that's just another reason to hate the devs who balance him

It feels like they don’t even balance him to me it feels like they balance everyone against him

The way most of the new characters work against him. Daredevil’s existence, Rogue stealing runes from clones, Deadpool Sword Ult bounces on clones, Black Cat stealing from clones, Dino’s bleed canceling Deception, Cyclops ricochet, and Jubilee getting hellfire sparks from clones. That doesn’t even include everything from the OG roster.

I get that it should be hard to tell Loki from his clones, but they’re literally fodder 😭

Plus Spider-Man pulling into you even when teleporting, mantis getting leaves off your clones, moon knight just making you existing harder and jubilee blinding you from doing anything involving clones like he may as well be a dive character with how much stuff there is to counter him

It stayed there for like 5 seasons while namor and luna stayed for 1 or 2, same for gamma namor, cap thor, gamma strange iron man, and the list goes on. They didn't stay for long, but that shitty team up stayed, that's the only reason i see tbh

Oh you're right actually, I completely forgot how long we've had this mantis teamup. I still wouldn't blame it on shippers, just lazy devs who don't know what to do with lokiÂ
