I don't understand the change for Mei iceblock in this patch

Mei

Cryo-Freeze

Now behaves like Mei’s Ice Wall when it comes to interactions. Cryo-Freeze will block line of sight and collision in much the same way.

I wish I could see the developer’s comment on this.

It goes back when the game was released where Mei’s allied healers cannot heal her during ice-block mode.

Since it behaves like an ice wall, it means she might unintentionally block friendly teammates such as Earthshatter, Self-destruct, Deadeye, etc. Thus, also increasing the chance of trolling.
And I think Mei has enough of nerfs by now.

(I’m going to miss the moment where I combo with Mccree by bodyblocking him with my iceblock while he’s going High-noon.)

It’s kinda not a good fix.

Their goal was to get rid of the Symmetra putting lasers in the iceblock.

But they kinda…oversolved that problem, with a lot of bad side effects

I expect them to roll this back, and put in a different solution

I will tell you this much mei isnt happy with blizz and satan is coming soon.

That combo seems huge but it sacrifices Mei’s survivability to pull this out and Sym’s lasers can be outranged until you’re in tight maps…
