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

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…
