At least now we know developer hints aren’t fake or meant to tease us. There were multiple indications the next hero is a tank.

Same W ability and name as Jaina. :thinking: Well at least it stuns at the end instead of slow.

And she has a mini version of Sylvanas trait by upgrading snowball?

Nexomania II?! That’s unexpected.

I honestly tought it would be Echoes of Alterac II

I knew Mei will be the devil but I’ll be damned if she isn’t our devil!
Hoping I have enough gold left on the PTR to test her.

Aaaaaaand broken. Just waiting for the 300 threads about how OP Mei is, but this time they will be actually right lol.

Pretty much.
She will be ridiculously OP.

Q: AOE slow with 1.5 blind on 10 seconds CD
W: AOE stun for 1.25 seconds? lol?
E: knock back, cause why not?

R1: lol
R2: Why tassadar got reworked I guess? (also only sensible ability)

She will be OP for 3 weeks, nerfed repeatedly for 1 year until she reaches dva level.

She won’t see any games in diamond+.

Basically all her abilities have slows/roots lmao, and the values are SO op. 80% slow, 70% slow HAHAHAH.

Then you look at the talents and man, what the freak is that thing. There’s just too much REALLY POWERFUL CC there.

She will be even more banned than DW lmao.

I wanted her to be an Assassin or a Bruiser :frowning:; but hey, a new Overwatch hero is appreciated. Good job Blizzard UwU UwU UwU :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::heart: !!!

Don’t forget about the D. That D that can be used in every TF. Not only will she have ridiculous CC (like combining jaina and ETC) but she will also be very difficult to kill.

why did she get snowblind but not her signature freeze… Im not opposed to the hero being tweaked to better fit in hots but still… Just feels like they missed the biggest point of the character. Like if you added mercy without guardian angel.

I think that might be the most CC an individual character has. All her basic abilities have some form of CC on them and both ults have some variation of a void prison-esque effect on them so from the looks of it she’s one of the few tanks that can CC deathwing I think (needs to be checked) .

Also worth noting the size of that blizzard ability is very large so I suspect she’s gonna get banned quickly on a map like infernal shrines where that would take up most if not all the space the objective takes place in and she can talent to reduce its cooldown if she’s in it and why wouldn’t she be on that objective.

To be fair that’s after 2 seconds of standing in the AOE. If you get stunned you were either right at the center of it when it started or stupidly stood in the big AOE

did I mention the AOE also has a slow? lol.

You gonna main her Lena :slight_smile:

Yep, I’d rather they fully revert the change so keeps/forts got their slow back cause now it’s back to pile driving.

That or up the debuff back to -40

Oh and lol Mei
