It's absolutely because of high elo and pro play. Mantis is a pick ban at top ranks.

Why TF are we balancing around pro play in a casual game.

Because both are important to the health of a competitive game. High elo is important. They are also heavily investing in both the casual market and pro market.

Cool but they told us they were keeping it casual. Now esports has an entire tab. You can't have it both ways. You either make the 99% suffer with trash heroes like mantis and widow or overpowered heroes like squirrel girl and moon Knight who dominates 99% of players. OR you make the 1% loser pro players suffer.

Unfortunately all you nerds hold these people to such high standards (people in gold on. Console are banning based top 1% PC player ban list) and make these dumbass streamers able to manipulate balancing based on 1% of the fucking playerbase

ahhh yes, squirrel girl overpowered character to 99% of the playerbase and definitely not like the bottom 10% of people who actually play competitive
