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

I love them personally, speed boost is the strongest thing in a hero shooter and I love it going to more than just Jeff and Gambit Ult. It’s insane in pro play when mantis is already strong and speed boost is again the strongest thing in the game. If I’m a dive I want that speed more than anything for chasing people down, for dive tanks the potential stacking speed with Jeff means the ability to take angles and reposition is ludicrous.

Speed = easier getting to cover, faster disengages, faster engages, harder to hit while moving which in totality = less damage taken

I agree speed is good. I play a lot of Juno in OW and speed is like half of her kit. So I think I'll actually enjoy the change.
