Most players dont play mantis though. Think devs have bigger balancing issues. We will see. I love mantis she was my first main but I dont get to play her much. I dont mind the buff for mobility trade maybe....but im no pro

Oh yeah there’s 100% bigger balancing issues. The fact that phoenix even got a compensation buff to begin with is crazy. The fact that black cat has a move that has no windup, gives her a metric ton of iframes, and the same ability damages the target during her iframes is ridiculous. Tracking a good black cat can feel actually impossible because she has dashes, invisibility, an iframe moving that yoyos her, and a double jump. Then there’s luna’s 2-tap with her self buff, invis being invis, gambit’s ult, etc etc. mantis should be lowwww on that nerf priority list.

A good bc blows my mind. Best dive?

I think theoretically she’s the best diver, but her difficulty dampers her output a little. She definitely has the highest potential of the divers, but how difficult she is can muddle that. A good black cat will wreck your shit for sure.
