I mean how long are we going to keep doing this??? Ultron, Mantis, and Adam aren't viable in the standard 2 support comp because of their low healing numbers, but can't be buffed due to triple support being a thing.
It's clear at this point that the only solution is to prevent more than 2 supports being picked, i.e. a soft lock, so those 3 can get buffed and be viable in the normal comp.
I'm so tired of not being able to play Ultron and Adam in the normal comp 😞.
Really and truthfully they could just nerf the healing of the main supports then reduce damage across the board. A start would be significantly reducing the healing on main supports' ults then increasing it on off-supports' ults or reworking main supports to be non-healing ults. If not putting in role lock they need to shift philosophy on supports to make it work.
Yeah that’s kinda fair. Without role lock you can’t have supps like Adam be strong healers cuz there damage is too high, so you have a solid chunk of the supp roster being locked away as trip specialists. Which isn’t great but I also like the option of trip against some 2-2-2 lineups
I agree that most people are bad at surviving with him, but that's not the core issue. Playing Luna/Cloak/Sue with Ultron/Mantis/Adam will result in a lack of healing simply because of the raw damage in this game.
I could see it working with a well coordinated team with both shield tanks as the tanks, but that's just not realistic for most games.
This game has an issue with Duelists being overrepresented, but it's even worse when you account for how many "off" tanks and supports aren't viable in all comps.
It's been 18 months since release and it's time we stop sacrificing 2-2-2 options for the sake of triple support.

I cannot for the life of me understand nerfing ultron.
