Ruins the character. Playing OW is like one of my main hobbies and freezing people then headshotting them gives me life. Really wish they would change their mind. I know some people say she is annoying but she isn’t so annoying that she should be ruined. Also all the memes surrounding her when she came out wouldn’t have been there without the freeze, it gives her identity.
If you’re not a Mei player then imagine if they removed Pharah’s flight or Widow’s scope or Tracer’s blink, it’s the same kind of thing.
By the way I used to main Sym back when she was a support. When they completely changed her kit and moved her to damage it ruined the hero for me to the point I no longer played her. I and others must’ve made hundreds and hundreds of topics asking for reverts or general changes but the devs couldn’t be bothered to reply to a single one, so it’s waste of time even complaining.

No hero is fun to go against when they are beating you. When the opponent is having fun head shotting me I am having ‘no fun’. The ‘no fun’ argument is dumb and I cringe everytime I see someone use it. Every single hero in the game is unfun to fight when they are beating you.

CC without a cool down is just awful design. They want people to play tanks, mei with freeze made sure people quit off that role real quick.

It isn’t awful design, it’s the reason I fell in love with OW and have thousands of hours played. Her freeze on primary is so unique and fun compared to any other FPS, it’s amazing.

Devs disagree. I’m glad they removed it.

They removed it because of pros/streamers crying constantly ‘‘I hate CC wah wah wah wah’’ when they never actually hated it, they just found it slightly annoying.
Makes me wonder what the next targeting for whining will be, probably one shots or Pharah’s flight, enough whining maybe they will get rid of that too.

Not really lol. I enjoy playing against the vast majority of the roster.
I guess this might apply to the “if i’m not winning, i’m not having fun” crowd, but not everyone else.

If you’re happy about her freeze being removed then you’re happy about one of the games most unique and iconic characters being ruined and stripped off all identity, think about what you are saying.

It’s ‘not fun’ to be one shot by a hanzo arrow or a widow headshot. But generally, getting hit by another character’s strong points won’t feel good. Getting hooked, or having your ult eaten by Dva, or Zen just nullifying your ult. It doesn’t feel good. But it’s kind of the point of the ability.

She does even more damage now with her primary. It’s great. I welcome the change.

There’s a difference between getting killed from someone shooting you with accuracy over the course of a few seconds and getting frozen (potentially multiple times if you’re tank) because Mei held M1 for 1.5 seconds & then has free headshots
I know from your POV it sucks, but imagine trying to play tank into a hero that can just freeze you constantly to where you can’t play the game

Yeah but if I wanted to do high damage with a beam I’d play Sym or Zarya.

What’s the DPS on Soldier or Zen?
Neither of those characters have slow the enemy with their primary fire.

Lol. Tell me you don’t play Mei without telling me you don’t play Mei. If you’re able to freeze a tank as Mei, then your dps is doing their job and you suck as a tank.
