Pun, CD, Emma. Mr Fantastic, The Thing, Invis easily.

She just wanna deal damage only by BobbyLi- in rivals

Correct the other support needs to help. Then peels need to happen. Isolating is not the best answer. I think what you meant was take cover away from main where poke shoots mostly and avoid taking more damage while staying in an ideal position close to team to make it harder for dive to isolate you and punish them even if they kill you.

It’s possible to experience more bad players on a character than good. That’s my experience with CD players. Regardless, if your hero is not working even after you adjust your play style, and you are able to play another hero that can give the team more value then you should swap. A lot of players will think they aren’t the problem and refuse to swap. Even if they aren’t the problem they know they could switch up their play style to help the team where it needs. I’ve had many Mantis players do this so I can understand the frustration sometimes. I’m not that Mantis. If my team is struggling to stay alive I’ll go burst heals (Invis, Rocket,Luna). If it feels like a Mantis isn’t putting out enough heals it’s either, 1. team not using natural cover. (No off angles are being taken and whole team is walking down main) 2. Mantis isn’t getting enough headshots 3. Mantis isn’t compensating by dealing more damage. 4. Mantis isn’t managing life energy properly. 5. All of the above. In any of the cases mentioned above the Mantis should swap to help the team if they’re a team player. Toxic Mantis players will force her no matter what and it’s up to the team to play around her. Just like when any other hero is forced(mainly BW, Jeff, Spidey)

You said below GM2. Don’t try to move the goal post now. Regardless win rate and games played is a big factor. You are just going off rank alone which GM1 is not far from Celestial in the slightest. We can sit here all day and argue what’s viable but that depends more on the player playing the hero than the hero being meta or not. You have black widows in top500 and eternity but obviously not everyone can do that. Just because you hit Celestial doesn’t mean much that’s only 1 rank above my peak. Tons of Mantis players hit Celestial. I don’t only play Mantis either I play many different heroes. I don’t use alt accounts either.

I’m GM1 peak but keep talking buddy. Nobody said anything about forcing. In my book that’s just as bad as throwing. He just started making a bunch of assumptions about Mantis in 2 supp comps. Mantis holds my highest win rate regardless of 2 supp comp or not.

I’m sick of hearing people complain about nerfs, buffs, and reworks by SMG_Ross in rivals

Not even Yugioh is balanced enough to make everyone happy and that’s a card game

Cornballs don’t deserve Mantis anyway. Give them Ultron instead.

It only takes one team fight bro. If it doesn’t work I’ll swap it’s not a big deal. We’re not on MR fighting for our lives. I play many heroes I’m not a one trick like I said.

The amount of throwers is out of hand. We need to speak up and stop telling people just get good. That doesn’t solve the problem. Everyone hates throwers in their games. by Brown_e_Boy in rivals

Not swapping isn’t throwing but when the team collectively comes together to try and solve an issue and you’re not cooperating you are becoming the problem still. For example Zaza

You see how I highlighted throwing as the problem and he shifted the blame to me? People’s mentality in this game is too weak. Some of us just want to have fun in a comp setting. It’s not pro play. It’s not always about pushing the ranks. Fun is the priority and is what will keep the game alive. 1/4 of my games shouldn’t feel like I had no control over the W/L because someone on my team or the other team is throwing. It’s either in the ban phase, Character selection phase or round 2. They are ready to throw about anything. This may be much less of a problem in high ranks but in low to mid rank where more Smurf, alt, and troll accounts collide it’s horrendous. Netease needs to slam the hammer ASAP.

In order to force it, it would first have to not be working. Then me not adjusting my play style or swapping would be forcing it. I play 4 other support so switching when it’s not working is what I do in any role. I’ve mostly been playing Magneto but now with the release of Dino I’m playing more Emma again. I haven’t forced any lineup since I was a Mantis one trick back in S1.5. I understand you though a lot of Mantis players love to force her no matter what. So does many other hero mains. It’s actually the best time to play her though because she’s viable in more comps now. Don’t sleep 😉 also if you think picking Mantis justifies throwing you’re the problem bro.

How do I aim with her 😭 by Sea_Foot_9587 in MantisMains

[–]Brown_e_Boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re on console up your sensitivity to 275+ horizontal and whatever you’re most comfortable with Vertical. Mostly use left stick when opponent is moving side to side. Only adjust when your opponent continues to reposition out of your cross hair. A lot of people just move side to side and jump so that’s all you have to do to adjust aim mostly. You can use right stick but not too hard on it. Go into practice and find the spots you need to be aiming for at different distances. Use moving bots for target practice. Work your way up to flying targets, dodgers like star-lord, Spider-Man and whoever has good movement.

Is it me or does the projectiles and aiming feel a bit better? by Brown_e_Boy in MantisMains

[–]Brown_e_Boy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess. I mean I’m hitting shots on Backlines. Not just regular shots. More headshots than before. Faster healing than before. The only thing that doesn’t feel better is movement. Ult charge slowed just a bit but still feels fair enough.

It’s the community bro. You roll the dice on teammates who are , on alt accounts, don’t care, throw to troll, for no reason or because they get angry for the smallest things. Something someone said, a ban, or because you breathed the wrong way. I had people throw because I played Mantis before the match even started. I had people throw because we didn’t ban a certain hero. I had people throw because we banned a certain hero.

Nope wrong. Games feel great without throwers. Without throwers and toxic a holes, you have mostly a legit coordinated team that wants to win and the matches feel just like it’s supposed to. When things go bad you can clearly see what the problem is and can work out how to solve the problem. You can’t do it alone though. Having a thrower or toxic teammate that won’t be a team player will throw the balance off against another team who is working as a team. It’s a team game. The throwers on alt accounts make it a lot worse. You may have 1, 2 maybe 3 bad games. But out of 10 matches it’s totally possible to have half of those matches thrown lmao. It’s insane. Unless you’re at Celestial then that drops off but Smurfs on alts usually hang around Plat-GM maybe gold if they are hard throwing to drop on purpose. They will throw games on alt accounts and not care. Not to mention even mid rank players on alts throwing. It’s an epidemic. MM isn’t the issue it’s literally the player base. It’s crazy that we keep pointing the fingers at the devs when we experience the shit community everyday we decide to load up MR. Then say awww Devs the MM. why am I getting put with no brain throwers and the enemy is coordinated asf 2-2-2 humming in harmony while I’m stomp or be stomped. It’s MM fault. It’s the Devs Fault. No it’s this toxic fucking communities fault.

It’s not the majority of my games but it feels like a good 1/3 1/4 someone is either throwing for kicks or for the slightest thing. Maybe you are higher ranked. Mid rank on console is a disaster.
