To all you people who are saying Proto is op.

Either Proto recieved some buff that I didnt pay attention to or you’re just bad, but Proto is NOT op.

Proto’s main strength that lets it shine out is the ability to fly, which is good on pler, but COSTS MANA. AND A LOT OF IT. That means Proto inevitably has to WAIT to rush, unlike other rushers.

Rushers are supposed to speed in and destroy important team roles before the enemy can react, NOT wait a full minute for their mana to regen. Major uses their superior mana regen and speed abilities to zoom in. Renegade has a separate bar dedicated to Invisibility, giving it a good escape or approach option. Proto has to wait for mana for their jetpack to function. By then, everyone would be dead already, and a Proto wouldn’t be needed.

Besides that, ive noticed certain things.

Before Training went bye bye, I tried some Proto combos on them. V X Z click, C X Z click, etc. NONE OF THEM DID AS MUCH DAMAGE AS PEOPLE SAY THEY DO. At most, they did 75% of someone’s hp... leaving you with no resources to defend against other opponents. Keep in mind these are KACTUS MEN too, and not real players. Real players would have CCed you, blocked, or simply moved out of the way if fast enough.

Proto’s mana regen is so pathetically slow, that even though Proto’s passive is one of the better ones, Proto cant even make full use of it without stopping due to no mana left.

Any comments?
