General Discussion

People are absolutely screeching about Mei and she’s barely more popular than Junkrat. This is Sombra levels of hysteria.

She’s the second most picked dps in GM behind Hanzo for a reason. She needs some tuning down, nothing major just remove what she got to counter goats.

I figure she just needs nerfing in a way that affects her in GM, but not in Gold.

“Omfg Mei is op ban her omg omg omg omg omg omg omg”

Meanwhile, nobody is selecting any Mei counters, opting instead to run Genji.

Na, all ranks. She is a plague, a disease that has festered in this game for far too long

She’s been chronically underpowered up until very recently.

So was Bunker non-existent?

You seem to forget that 2-2-2 was a big buff for her. Same with Reaper, DF, Moira, and other heroes.

mei being underpowered means she’s balanced. her kit is niche by design. so if she isn’t niche, she is overpowered. heroes that are only good on certain points in certain situations are fine.

That’s not how that works. Being balanced is balanced. Being underpowered is being underpowered.

it was a turn of phrase. mei being balanced means she is niche.

No disagreements there.
But a lot of people are approaching this as “She should be nerfed to oblivion” instead of “She needs a 5-15% nerf”

I don’t really think any hero should be niche. Some are going to be more generalists than others, but no hero should be too niche.

if mei is not niche, then like half the roster becomes niche

Mei only needs minor adjustments to be honest. It’s Hanzo who is a monster.

I don’t get why people say Mei is picked almost every match. No she’s not. I barely see her in comp.

I see her all the time.

He has double Mei’s pick rate in GM. He’s a must pick DPS. He’s a far bigger problem.

you didnt say anything about what I said.

Hanzo does not change the meta. at all. hanzo works in every comp, thats his problem, he is too versatile.

mei warps the game around her.
