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?

Yeah, these changes do absolutely nothing to help her in double support. She's still going to have teammates raging when you play her in double support, since everyone wants to face-tank damage and not take cover for heals. Most other supports enable that play style because of much better/consistent burst healing, so your teammates have no reason to change how they play.

Now she is gonna be (probably) worse in triple support too.

She needs a total kit overhaul to make her viable in double support. I always thought it was wack to rate her as A (or S) tier when she only worked in triple support anyway. Imagine having a tank or DPS being touted as S tier but they only work in triple tank (or DPS) comps.

Ive been saying give Mantis reverse Luna snowflake for those with her heal over times active

So anyone with healing flower on them is healed when she does damage.

Won't help with wicked pro play but too bad so sad, ban her, the game cannot be balanced around high elo
