Probably to make her better against Ball, if I had to guess. But realistically, I have absolutely no clue why they are making the decisions they are making.

Thatā€™s some good news!

I will play Mei against Ball now. :smiling_imp:

Step 1: lock the Zen
Step 2: get duo to lock the Mei
Step 3: record loss of tank players

But seriously though, a ā€˜build-up slowā€™ is just gonna affect the tanks without many movement options more. I hope they keep an eye on this change. :confused:

i just dunno why they donā€™t just allow her to freeze instead, and make it so tanks cannot be frozen lol

My dear Watson. She can indeed freezeā€¦in PvE. Of course :stuck_out_tongue:

Even more slow with freeze is not what she needs. More efficient utility or making Cyro better

Tbh Iā€™d rather they just increase the M1 damage by 20% so it isnā€™t entirely useless against healing.

Depending on how this is done it could prove to be a huge nerf. The most important part isnā€™t how much slow it builds up to, but how it starts and how long it takes to get there. Slow isnā€™t freeze, most characters will just use movement abilities to escape it.

As iā€™ve mentioned before. They love experimenting with their games, taking only feedback from their content creators and OWL/Contenders players and their so-called ā€˜statisticsā€™.

They are effectively ruining their own game by experimenting with the changes they makeā€¦

They need a proper PTS so they can get actual feedback from changes like these BEFORE they go liveā€¦

Ill take it, anything that helps do something against ball.

Lets she what the change will be like as others said it could be a nerf.

13

Going by the content creators they arenā€™t being listened to, either.

And I think itā€™s hilarious youā€™re blaming this on OWL/Contenders with how much that clown fiesta is imploding right now.

Going by which content creators, exactly? Care to elaborate?

Overwatch has always been tailored to m-t500 and contenders/OWL. What are you on about?

15

The slow will need to come with a severe loss of damage, Iā€™d wager.

16

I predict significant mei nerfs incoming in the near future.

They seem so inconsistent with their messaging. Like are you removing CC or not?

They should just revert things and give the heroes back all their CC but toned down. Give sombra back a longer silence (and remove hack while invis, please), give mccree a flashbang that slows and disables mobility, let doomfist be a DPS again. At this point I dont even care because itā€™s a giant mess and the general loss of CC from OW1 has caused a bunch of other issues that make the game even more annoying.

18

Because her primary fire is absolutely terrible?

I think the idea is they are removing hard CC. Honestly Iā€™d rather they make her utility focused rather than DPS which is what the entire hero has been for 6 years but they seem hell bent on making her a more DPS focused even though is clashes with her kit design.

They should evert it to be like in OW1, she was fun to play then.
