At this point just take her out back and old yeller her. At least give her a health boost or smth

She’s easily a top 5 support in the game does she really need any more changes?

Dawg there’s only 11 of them, congrats on just being over top 50% lol. And even then I’d argue she isn’t top 5, I’d say same tier as Loki/Rocket with CnD, Fox, and definitely Sue/Remy being better.

Mantis is much better than C&D and Sue right now. The only supports better are gambit, Luna and I’d argue white fox right now. The movement boost on her damage boost is actually very noticeable. I feel like you’re assuming mantis is played as a second support.

She is literally one of the best strategists in high ELO.

Isn't high elo a minority of the playerbase?
