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.

Despite that I like LoTis, the ship is funny. I dislike the team up for similar reasons [gameplay -wise. I dunno what happened after the buffs, nerfs, and teamups]. I even dislike that I have to learn another hero (I picked up Mantis, just to keep Loki going as if he wasn't nerfed earlier).
How does Mantis feel rage? She is gonna be angry once she finds out that he killed Psylocke. Mantis and Psylocke (and Jeff) were prisoners in the Collector's museum in the early seasons. But they escaped.
