Mei mains when they nerf her again next week
(As a Baptiste and Sigma main, I empathize. They should have stopped at the wall nerfs.)

Reaper is also in a bad spot but his winrate is also no where near as bad as Meis, Hanzo also has a negative winrate but both are around 49% Hanzo also has good pickrate compared to the other two.

You do know that making Mei a tank probably won’t fix her, right?
It isn’t because Mei sucks; people will inherently hate a character who exists to restrict the movement of other characters, then completely rob them of their movement with little downsides to them.
Mei can straight up 1v1 every tank. Not unusually in Overwatch, but that doesn’t mean people are going to like it.

What?? Orisa shield nerf wasn’t enough? Let’s nerf her damage! That sure was the problem!

It would get her out of being the “Third Tank” for OWL “almost GOATs”.
Then they could balance her based on Competitive.
Well, the easiest counter to a Mei, is another Mei. And if Tanks have Mei. Then tanks have a counter to Mei.
I 100% agree with you. Her freeze is absolute trash against any mobile character and I would gladly trade chain freeze for a revert. The wall nerf needs to stay though. She was way too oppressive in chokes.

I both agree and diagree, most of the nerfs that she has gotten have not been good for the character as a whole but she did need nerfs that is crystal clear. But instead of nerfing what most people seemingly have a problem with they desided to nerf everything else about the character outside of right click. Only ice block remains unchanged (since the nerf train began) as of now but I assume it’s the next thing they will target.
Oh, I know. People were asking for chain freeze gone, but the way they were going, at the point they nerfed her wall, anything further was gonna be devastating.

I think she would still have been fine with the wall nerf + multi freeze nerf. maybe a slight dps upgrade on left click since it then would not have been able to pierce.
In every other rank she’s average or well above average
and when you look at the stats for this month instead of this week, she’s doing fine in gm
this week just started off rough for some reason
there’s no way that a nerf that small dropped her winrate by 5%

It’s much more about how the culmination of many small nerfs affect her, there is also now a new hero that is a great counter towards her. The point of the thread was more about expressing my dissatisfaction with how the current nerfs have affected her not only in performance but also how it feels to play against her. I feel like the devs are not targeting what makes Mei unfun but rather what makes her feel like Mei.
As a Mei player she feels worse to play
As an Overwatch player she still feels bad to play against.
Mei was balanced, now shes bad. So of course her numbers fall down like that if you dont give her compensation buffs.

Yeah those Mei players dont belong in GM, theyre coasting off an OP hero. The Meis with actual skill will stay in GM while the meis who sink will just switch to McCree and climb back up cause climbing in this game is just a matter of Freetime+meta dedication

Imagine if the devs looked at the stats for Bastion or Sombra.
LOL. Mei.
try being someone who actually likes playing S76 and he hasn’t been relevant in like 2.5 years.
anytime you pick soldier in any ELO people just ask for mccree because he does everything better.
Yes Sombra and Bastion are in a bad state but that doesn’t mean that others heroes should be ignored.

I hate it when people say this…
Like, how would you like it if your main was dumpstered?

Yes they should. Until the dev team wakes up, does a hugh sigh and starts their day on how to address hero balance, we shouldn’t quit.
God forbid the hero labeled the “devil” be down here with us. Misery loves company.
Try being a Mei main a hero considered trash for 3 years and even when considered viable or a must pick still get hated on because apparently your hero should never be good, ever.
Mei held them company for 3 years then the devs decided to give her an ability she should have never had, and now stubbornly refuse to remove.
