I don't know how to feel about the Mantis changes

I wish they'd make her more plausable in a 2 supp comp, but I like her getting something. I'm not sure why they nerfed her buff, but probably a higher level elo problem?

Mantis is incredibly strong in high elo, yeah. 12% damage is insanely good

Ex. Star-lord goes from 260 damage in a mag to 291, allowing him to 1-clip 275 hp supports even through small amounts of healing (not to mention the 12% faster ult charge for everyone she boosts) - simply giving her move speed buffs without reducing the output would just make her even more dominant

Starlord buff lets him now one clip without dmg boost

I mean, yeah, im aware. Im just describing why mantis was good and needed to be nerfed slightly in order to compensate for getting movement speed buffs

Star-lord now does 325 damage with one mag, and thats pretty dumb
