Do I need to say more??????
Also, her getting a buff doesn't necessarily mean that you're right either. They said she's still performing in short fights and if I recall, that's where your problem with her was.
Anyway - power to you OP, don’t let anybody on here shut you down
🍻
Vega's thesis was that Mantis' design suggested to him that she was intended to offer superior performance in shorter fights like BG, and her maximum burst performance was not high enough compared to other top skill attackers to be competitive in that mode. The balancing update seems to be vindicating Vega here, at least to some extent (for example, his test case verses Doom is arguably one of those non-optimal match ups Kabam references).
At the end of the day, its about the journey not the destination. Nobody cares if someone stumbles into randomly guessing Kaban's next move, especially when it comes to "buffs." I can say every champ needs a buff and be right a third of the time. That doesn't make me an Oracle. What matters is not "champ needs a buff" which is vague to the point of meaninglessness. What matters is precisely why you think something needs a buff and in what specific direction that buff should take.
If you think you, Vega, and Kabam are all on the same page, consider this. Vetga seemed to imply that if Mantis was buffed in such a way that she became more of a monster in Gladiator circuit BG matches but remained exactly the same everywhere else in the game, from quests to end game content, that would satisfy his objections. If Kabam agrees with him and makes that sort of change, would that satisfy *you*? Is that what you were asking for all along?
Even KM whose opinion I respect, suggested something directly opposite to what Kabam did. Instead of strengthening Mantis in Science matchups, Kabam said they want to strengthen her in non-optimal matchups.
The real trolls of this thread are people claiming that Mantis doesn’t need a buff, when the data says she does need a buff; albeit in certain matchups.
Even worse are those who are attacking OP without actually owning Mantis or having done prior testing (you can find them on this thread).
Those are the real trolls. OP just stumbled on the right thing by saying the wrong thing.
Torch absolutely did NOT need a buff then but he got one to allow him to get used a bit more in non preferred matchups. This is similar to Mantis getting a minor number increase.
Just admit you were wrong and you lost the bet. Again, I'll accept bet payment in form of no polls for a month from you.
But then OP came with the most elaborate, detailed and insightful post asking for buff we have ever seen.
The Post: 💀
I wanted to say the same, glad somebody else can actually see that a small change can lead to a huge throughput in performance.
I am making it clear that YOU LOST the bet that you made and you lost it bad as you weren't even close in your prediction.
Again, this thread shows undeniable proof that you were WRONG and that you LOST the bet. Stop trying to change the subject or make excuses and own up to the undeniable fact that you were wrong and that you lost the bet.
OP arguments only with Vega's video. Which is a valid argument by Vega, but I see 0 reason for days-long circular argument here on forums.
Time to just stop responding and move on.
