Proto's blades, while they do deal tons of hits, are weak on their own. Punishment and Reaping eat up a ton of mana, and Critical Stab is only used to reset Punishment, which you cant use if you have no mana. The damage isnt that great either, so Proto will waste almost a full bar of mana to deal somewhere around 650-700 damage...which a Vulca can easily replicate by clicking with C on.

Proto also suffers the same weakness that Cryo does, which is being a rusher that needs to wait to rush. Proto cant deal damage or even use their jetpack without mana, and without fast mana regen, Proto has to simply wait for mana to come to them. By then, everyone would be dead, and Proto's role is useless
