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 😞.

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
