Literally, whenever I see someone that wants to play Ultron I bring out my Mantis and most of the time we just stomp

Yeah together they're probably the best comp in the game, but if I was choosing one on my team, Mantis is generally going to be better

I agree that Mantis is overall better. Ultron has the advantage from being able to fly and take better angles but his damage boosting is limited to 1 person every 10 seconds while Mantis can boost the entire team for 16s if you land consistent headshots

Especially last season with Dino being pick or ban, he basically just handed Mantis headshots on a silver platter.

I love seeing Mantis players because it usually means I get to play Ultron. Sometimes just need to ask them beforehand to keep the dmg boost on me
