It be cool if Mei had a passive ability that allows her speed to increase while walking on her ice path made by her primary fire.
Ooooo that sounds fun, Iād love to ice skate around as Mei.
They already thought about it and said no.
They said
- It would result in her looking down most of the match
- They want to avoid giving every hero a movement ability.
It would also be a huge gimmick that would be largely useless inside of combat.
How about taking the reverse of this and allowing her Blizzard, Wall, and Block to all leave ice spots after use which slow (but not freeze) the enemies slightly.
Give them a 1-2 second debuff to decrease walking speed after walking over top of the spot?
I would prefer if her Primary and her Ult have a āCrippleā effect. It will finally breaks mobility without affecting the low mobility heroes
When you say cripple, do you mean similar to the recent Sombra buffs where movement based skills are temporarily disabled?
Or is there a better way to describe what you are asking about?
Same effect āGraviton Surgeā applies. It just disables any mobility skill.
He probably with crippling like reducing the distance they can travel with their abilities instead of shutting it down.
That would be too strong, wouldnāt it?
Edit:
Nvm.
He meant disabling abilities. I think my suggestion would be better.
With the amount of buffs mei is gettingā¦ noā¦ also I dont recall being able to run faster on iceā¦ the only support I could get behind is a passive ability where the ice she sprays on the ground makes the other team slide on it a little.
not too much tho, that would be op, anything between 12 and 25%
