[Mei-gathread] Does Mei feels balanced and underpowered at the same time?

I’m so happy that this bug is getting fixed. I’m looking more forward this than her buffs tbh.


I haven’t played this game in a while (I already explained in the previous thread why), but some players are reporting that Mei’s ultimate doesn’t dissappear after she threw it and got stunned.

Can anyone conform this?

This last issue is not happening much as before IMO. Let’s hope with the new patch to see this issue fixed definitely.

BTW i’m not sure if i will make a video about the Mei balancing topic or not

Tbh Mei’s cryo freeze should have only 1 activation frame, also, it should last half as long and work twice as quickly, to discourage stalling.

This happened during the Mei yeti hunt and the ability felt better and snappier IMO. BTW i think it’s quite useful stalling with cryofreeze, but it’s also useless because out of cryo we don’t have ammos often, so we aren’t ready to fight again. If i’m right time ago Jeff talked about an invincibility window for Mei’s cryofreeze

They don’t really need to change Cryo Freeze to restore ammo now as the ammo efficiency of the right click it getting buffed by 25%. But I definitely would like a faster Cryo freeze that heals quicker.

Geoff Goodman about the idea of Mei ice skating:

I agree with him that she doesn’t need more mobility.

What do you guys think?

definitely not more mobility in the speedy part, but the climby part would be nice to see an increase maybe?

That’s what i always thought. It’s useless freezing floor to make her faster IMO
BTW the Mei + Sombra patch is live, and i think bug fixes also, i need to check the patch notes

Notes dont seem to be there yet.

I could seriously care less for the mei buffs. PLEASE let the cryo fix be here!!

Just looked at the patch notes for Mei.

I’m not sure if this buff gives her more edge or what. Could of helped if they increased her falloff range, but i’m just hoping.

Though I’m afraid it’s gonna be like the old ana buff (on console) all over again with sombra. People playing them for the first time in comp essentially throwing because they’re not familiar with the hero. After all, buffing a hero doesn’t suddenly make them easier to play (usually)

Im bad at sombra, and this buff won’t make me any better. Sadly others don’t realize that.

Also these new forums are so uncomfortable, I can’t chill on here like the old one. And does anyone know why my avatar won’t show up?

They just acknowledged it. They might be working on it right now.

So it is live now, I’m a bit surprise they put it on live so quickly, probably need the PTR for Hero27.

I can’t wait to try it in comp. I was actually intentionally avoid playing too much PTR such that I remember the previous live version is still 8 shots. Though there is also Sombra running around now, I’ll have to try to figure out how to play against/around that.

Yeah I think it’ll launch with hero 27 or Hanzo changes

I did the hook test and most of time i didn’t got hooked out of cryofreeze. BTW in quickplay i have been headshotted while behind the ice wall with high noon

admittedly High Noon is a buggy ult as well, having a weird delay in when it actually hits vs when you press. It would probably require bugfixes for both abilities. Also I have been normal shot with hitscan from behind walls.

Nice, now i can try the Mei buffs (im on console, so no PTR here). The buffs are good, now She feels more smooth, nice work Blizz! But i don’t think that this Buffs Will make her a viable choice on comp, we Will see

Yes! I have a clip somewhere from a little while ago of my friends getting blasted after the wall is up.
