It can't beat a scorpion 1-on-1.

Why in the hell do people think the Mantis is overpowered?

Pure Insanity
The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.
Hidden in the shadows, Clothed in camo, Armed to the teeth. Hunting.

I assume this is the same exact thread that had a video of a scorpion and a mantis fighting. And not with the vehicles.

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Considering it's only ever in 5v5 and up games on large maps with one per team, I see literally zero relevance how powerful it is. As long as one mantis can't massacre the enemy while capturing the object (as no lone player through any means is able to in part due to the physical impossibility of it), it fits in just fine.

The biggest balancing factor is the slow shield recharge.

People who make animals fight like that deserve to be made to fight a lion.

The Mantis is more of a defensive vehicle

That's all I got
