Shang who? 💀

It’s Shang Chi*

You're using suicides, I wasn't lol go back in without suicides and throw just one sp2 as soon as you get to two bars, guarantee you it won't even be close

I’m not gonna spend 35 units for a screenshot bruh💀. Also right at 2 bars is far from fair, I don’t have to dance around with intercepts or hitting block before getting 2 bars, I can half stunlock my way there. That was 2 sp2s in 32s it takes mantis that long for one. And half of the second one was overkill lol

Better photon counter, better general champ

Well unfortunately for you I am willing to pay the price

Not only did I do it three seconds faster than you even with all that "dancing around" you mention (no idea who told you it takes time to ramp up with Mantis) , the special attack numbers are waaaaay higher than what you got lol.

Yeah but mantis has more reach in battlegrounds in terms of matchups and she’s a half decent defender lol. Mantis can nuke pretty much anything that Shang can. She doesn’t even need 2 sp2’s cause she’s already over killed any battlegrounds opponent

Shang good and all but mantis clears for the current state of the game

Exactly, Mantis > Shang 😌

It took him 49 hits to kill WS, it took me 24, it's not even a competition 💀

I said it takes mantis much longer to reach one sp2. It took me an extra 3 seconds to get 2 more full bars of power.

And I’m sure you know the biggest hit argument is a terrible one, Shang has 5 hits in his sp2 not 2 lmao. And while yes those 5 hits in total still do a bit less than mantis, in any fight that Shang can do in one sp2 he is gonna be 5-10s faster.

Let me know when battlegrounds scoring takes hits into account, because in only 3 extra seconds of time I got more than double the hits in lmao

Yeah Shang is great and all but I think I’d rather use mantis over him most of the time. I also got science trapped once against her and she cooked me lol

I don’t usually bring up YouTubers but trappy and KT both made lists on skills and there’s a reason they don’t include Shang very highly. He’s still a great attacker, but I think there are other champs in the skill class that kinda just do more for the meta defenders we have now. I also haven’t seen a Shang in forever in battlegrounds and maybe he cooks better than I think, but I don’t believe he’s as goated as mantis

Yet I was faster than you cause I don't need two sp2s, one is enough.

I didn't say biggest hit, I said special attack numbers, which is a fact hence you having to throw two sp2s while I did it in one.

Posting a r3 7* vs a r5 6* is not really the gotcha moment you think it is. If that was a r3 Onslaught or Photon, Mantis would've not only been quicker but left with more health. JJ is not even close to being as meta relevant as those two on defense.

It was still 3 seconds faster than you, which battlegrounds scoring does take into account.

Mantis is definitely better for photon, tho yea aside from her they do most of the same matchups. Shang doesn’t always need 2 sp2s, but if he does then as shown it’s only 3 seconds slower. If he doesn’t he’s about 5s faster.

Both are absolutely great champs, I’m just tired of seeing so much Shang slander all because of one stupid poll bruh😭

Yeah and even if you don't trap them, the block damage when she's a r3 can make a difference. I've literally had people lose 20% from block damage alone. I'm not saying Shang is trash either hut overall Mantis is the better champ simply because she can keep up with Shang in terms of damage and she's a dual threat.

I haven't seen one in ages either, I only see him in decks when he's r3.

Fair enough haha. Let’s end this on the positive note

Shang good and Mantis good and they all lived happily ever after
