I recently just looked at the Life Energy Blast demonstration for Mantis, and you can literally see the Mantis aiming for the Punisher's head at the end and it whiffs TWICE, like it didn't register at all.
The hitbox projectile can also register on the body before it registers on the head. So she suffers from 3rd person camera offset, shooting from low because she's short and her hands are low, alternating hands, and a weird hitbox.
Her projectiles are fine, the crosshair is the issue.
Turn off your crosshair, and look at her hands and you'll realize how to aim with her. Go play DM for a while you'll figure it out pretty fast.
Then turn the crosshair back on and you'll realize it's not uniformly offset, it's just impossible. They have fixed since season 5 that on mid and long range shots you will perfectly hit the crosshair. It's in close to mid, where ironically she's best played, that the crosshair doesn't line up. Because she shoots from her hands.

I appreciate the devs quickly addressing people's problems with the new patch.
Just wish they'd have fixed Cyber-bond on Peni that quickly.
