Her wall is better than some ultimates, honestly her ultimate is worse thaan the wall. She has two ultimates in one. And it has 10 seconds cooldown, what the actual hell…
And her survivability is so ridicoulos. She can cry-freeze, she can wall herself off incoming fire and run away. And she has 250 HP?
Her primary is a CC, that freezes you way too quickly, impossible to get away from. Her secondary deals a lot of damage.
Yeah dude you’re totally right. Mei is soooooooo powerful. In fact, she’s such a strong hero that she’s currently the fifth least picked hero in the game overall.
Wait…that doesn’t make sense. If she’s so strong, why do people not use her?
Mei has ZERO MOBILITY advantage. If she gets close to you - that is your fault. Her move speed is default. A lot of heroes have some kind of mobility boost that allows them to escape her freeze. And all heroes can avoid getting close to her.
Her wall, while often useful, has it’s downsides. It block all shots, including yours and from your team - unlike shields. It can do as much bad as good.
Her survivability is good, but has it’s limit. It is there to compensate for that fact that she has no additional mobility, has quite generous hitbox and is generally easy to hit. Cryofreeze, unlike for example Reaper’s ability, traps her in one place, giving enemy chance to set up a trap or just burst Mei down when she comes out.
Her alt fire while is quite good, has lower DPS than most DPS heroes have.
So, I refuse to see how Mei is OP in any way. She is very easy to counter.
I love everything about meis kit and none of it is OP. Shes a very niche pick and has always been.
Blizzard requires follow up and is only effective vs low mobility heroes And can be countered with baptiste cooldown, zen ult, any healer who isnt frozen etc
Her freeze requires YOU to either have bad positioning or for her to be in a close up engagement where she is at risk of damage from you and your team. Her icicles are hard to be effective with consistently and most meis i see only ever use it for headshot combo (bad meis)
Her wall is my favourite ability on the game. Has so many unique usages. (I used to block a doomfist ult from hittin zen last night). Its not as easy as people think to hit constantly good walls and It is easily breakable if u shoot the same part.
Her self heal is usually just a prolonged death but is effective for baiting out stuns or saving yourself from ults. It makes up abit for lack of mobility and damage so she has a little bit more survivability.
All in all there are many better options with better damage potential and better mobility. She trades both for more utility which id prefer to see more of personally
You mean the ultimate ability that is easily escaped by anyone with an ounce of mobility, right?
She was called Satan for so long, and the anti-Mei propoganda was so strong that playing her and combating her is not common knowledge yet, despite her extreme effectiveness as an Anti-Tank hero.
