I have been running Johnson in 2v2s and I have to say the mantis and colosus buffs are exactly what he needed. The mantis mechs shred infantry now and when you get a good combo of mantis mechs, snipers, wolverines, and colosus mechs you can wreck anything in the late game. On top of that the emp mac blast and mech overcharge will easily deal with what ever you encounter that could cause problems for your army. If you guys have given the new Johnson a try let me know what you think.
No no he’s not he still needs some ability changes

Anything specific about his abilities?

his ultimate ability is useless, He needs a mech drop and another offensive ability

I agree his ultimate is pretty bad. However, I would say that the mechs overcharge and emp mac round is enough to change the tide of a fight. Emp mac large vehicle or air armies and then watch them all go to red bar immediately plus they are stunned for quite a bit. If you run into hunters or cyclopses just bunker drop and put some snipers in it. Mech overdrive can also rip up a ground army very quickly.
I typically base leaders viability in how they handle in 1’s and I don’t see, from the changes made, that he will be any good in 1’s.
In teams sure maybe so but I think his LP wheel is still rather crappy compared to others.
Does anyone know/have tested if Collossi are now truly better then scorpions?

Still slow as poop and the range is worse than any other T3 vehicle. HP and Damage helped, but it wasn’t the correct type of buff the unit needed I don’t think.

Thats too bad. That means he probably won’t be super viable this season but the patch was a step in the right direction for him. Slow and steady will win the race in terms of updates to bring him into line.
My buddy plays Johnson on 2v2 and he always went hero at the beginning, we ended up pretty far in the champion ranks, so now that the heroes are buffed we’ll be more successful I believe, putting the chosen inside the garrison is gonna be fun.

IMHO colossuses are meant to be used with pelicans.
