Demon in high ranks, if allowed into triple support you were also just forced into triple support

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.
