That doesn’t change the fact that you think Mei is OP. She isn’t.
Oh, wait. You play on Xbox. I forgot. You can’t avoid her because your controllers don’t let you properly react.
What also would help is playing her for a longer time, to get a better understanding of her weaknesses and strengths.

Dude, if all you are going to do is bring some PC elitism into the discussion and provide nothing else, then leave. Seriously. Krotoan is providing points against me without being a dick about it, so if you have nothing else to say, then leave.

Stalling happens to be one of her only strengths, that doesn’t mean she’s broken.
Her Ice Wall is powerful, sure but it’s undermined by the fact it also does the same thing it does to you to her and her team, it’s only good to counter deathball comps, more than just that it’s only good to counter deathball comps on maps with chokes to seal off.
Cryo is something that gets you killed if you use it in front of an enemy, if you’re near anyone you are essentially forced to use wall to get away. Her range is also severely limited by falloff, her kit may seem well rounded on paper but in practice it’s clunky and many characters can flat out ignore it. She’s not in a good spot, it may feel bad getting walled off into a small room and frozen but that’s what she does and it’s fairly situational that she even can.

She shouldn’t freeze faster because that’s basically insta death. Maybe if her headshots weren’t as strong but they are.
This is maybe 1 of the worst and dumbest " Nerf this Hero it counters me " Thread i hv see for a while i just mean NERF MEI really ??? what are you smoking ? O.O

Don’t most of the characters you mention wreck everyone in general?
And you added literally nothing to said thread so that makes your response to it even worse. Good job. If people are fine with Torb being 100% worthless, then maybe a tiny nerf to Mei wouldn’t hurt much.
Does Mei even have a counter play besides general sniper shot or hack?
Rather see a Torb on my team then Mei tbh
Coming from someone who plays both a lot and would love to see both get their proper places in the game

plus, in general highly mobile heroes can easily get out of mei’s range.
Nope. But they all do high damage or ranged damage. Things that Mei cannot deal with.
Widow or hanzo does not deal well with being dived. Phara is countered by nearly all hitscan heroes. Junkrat is bad at range and if you can bait all his toys out of him as DVA you can tear him apart. Hog does badly against reaper or junkrat and is taken the hell apart by a smart ana.
edit:Come to think of it reaper isn’t a bad mei counter either. Up close he can put out some stupid damage and gets a freeze “reset” with wraithform to finish her off.
How does Zarya counter Mei she can’t kill her fast enough and can just ice block to waste bubble up time.
As for mobility that not a counter, that doesn’t get rid of Mei she’ll just go after the majority cast without mobility
You’d think reaper could work but no. If he goes ghost, she ice blocks to wait it out and guess who has the most hp after that.
i thought you meant counterplay. mei is dependent on her freezing and slowing the enemy. zarya literally removes her debuffs. while mobile heroes can easily disregard her. if we’re talking in general, a lot of burst heroes like junkrat and long ranged heroes are pretty much capable of easily dealing with mei.

Reaper against a mei is a Skill check for the reaper. If you aren’t good at face shots as reaper it isn’t going to work.
You either melt the mei immediately which is optimal. Force her to iceblock to save herself and reload while she heals getting ready to shoot her in the face the instant she unblocks and kill her then. Or you fudge it and don’t get her below half health and then have to wraith, in which case you disengage because if you already haven’t been able to kill her you likely won’t be able to kill her in the necessary time .
If we’re talking equally high skilled players who can both aim just as well a reaper will always win against mei.
We shouldn’t have needed to explain it to you. Someone with your supposed level of experience should have either learned by now or done research yourself.

Reaper vs Mei I find to be an even fight. It really comes down to just pure player skill between these two. Sure Reaper could melt Mei but if he not getting the added headshot damage then he is going to have a hard time. When facing a good Reaper I like to switch to Mei to deal with him.
Outside of that Junk is great at dealing with Mei. If you are good at aiming Junkrat shots you can get Mei low quickly and force her to ice block. At that point throw a trap right on top of her and a mine and get point blank. As soon as she pops out she is dead.
Outside that Hog can burst her quick, 76 can burst her quick with a rocket and couple headshots. Zarya is great for protecting team mates from her. Rein can instant kill her when she comes out of ice block cause the ice starts cracking and as Rein you learn to time the charge so as soon as she is out you are pinning her.
Mei one advantage is the fact she can survive on point well. That’s it really. Too many mobility heros kills her use at holding chokes. She use to be great at point a in hanamura but now not so much unless they running death ball.
Also for the shot at console players having to use controllers is unneeded. I play on PS4 and I have no problem escaping from Mei and other cc abilities.

Mei’s value is very underappreciated as you point out how good she can be but she is not OP.
