Mei ice wall is a balance problem

Lumin-1385 · January 30, 2020, 2:43am

But why?

GreyFalcon-11737 · January 30, 2020, 2:46am

Because it’s not a serious comment and you play D.va.

Zwei-11485 · January 30, 2020, 2:49am

Ah yes, the 3.3% pickrate “must pick”
And I thought these forums couldn’t get any worse at lying.

McCree has a high pick rate now at all ranks.

I guess we are going to have to nerf McCree as being a must pick then

He has a high pick and win rate, which means he is stronger, so, if Mei needs nerfs, then McCree ABSOLUTELY does.

It was a shame, I liked McCree

Yeah, Forums be crazy

It’s strange because Ana can sit at 10% pickrate for over a year and people will still ask for buffs, meanwhile if any hero regarded as “niche” becomes somewhat good in their role they get nerf cries like no other even though their best pickrate is 3.5% which is just about average for most DPS heroes.

RobotWizard-116887 · January 30, 2020, 2:53am

Yeah, people were calling for nerfs when Sombra was lowest win rate in the game at all ranks. Worse yet, they got it.

There are times where the Dev team makes no sense to me.

It’s as if there aren’t any heroes in the game that have vertical movement, making a complete wall of ice incredibly oppressive

Double shield is already dead, so I wouldn’t worry about that much anymore.

GreyFalcon-11737 · January 30, 2020, 3:04am

It’s just gonna end up being different double barrier, with Reinhardt and something else.

Drowsckab-1655 · January 30, 2020, 3:05am

Apparently D.Va/Rein seems to be the new go-to comp now. On more open maps it’s D.Va/Winston because of their hyper-mobility combined with how much damage they negate. People are testing Orisa, but it’s not looking good for her.

DSPMankey-1515 · January 30, 2020, 3:10am

Mei’s wall is not a barrier. Barriers only affect the enemy team. Mei’s wall affects both teams equally. It’s up to the Mei player to put the wall somewhere that will do more good than harm to her team.

If anything, a completely random wall does less harm to the enemy, as at least they have the option to destroy it if it’s in the way. If your team’s Mei throws up a bad wall, you just have to hope she takes it down herself.

It’s fine.

Learn to counter-play.

McCree is more of a must pick, are you after nerfs for him?

Pharah, Junkrat, Ashe, S76, Hanzo, whatever.

I think it could do with less health, but have a shorter cooldown myself.
