Mei is the template hero for good design

I mean yeah she’s balanced but in my opinion a hero with that hard of cc should hopefully never be a template for a good hero.

And thus, Forum Mei has been born.

Half the roster has CC yet we should add more cc?

  1. Where in my post i said “we should add more cc” ?
  2. I disagree that CC is as bad as everyone says. This complaining about it is mostly overreaction.
  3. I’m willing to nerf CC, if mobility in the game is also nerfed as well. All the CC is actually necessary to combat mobility creep. I’m all in for reducing CC if what makes it needed get’s nerfed as well.

Actually truth. Brig is a great hero to balance around. On her own, she’s hard countered by more than one hero and soft countered by quite a few as well. She’s strong against flankers, but she’s also good on the front lines. Low speed and damage potential are the trade offs for having a support who can actually protect themselves.

She literally freezes the fun out of the game. No thx.

You guys haven’t been around in season 2 i guess. If she ever becomes meta, and if forum still had a downvote system, you’ll see an army of downvoters for a post like this.

As for mei, Before her freeze buff, I would have agreed. After making the stun last longer and going through people and freeze multiple? They lowered the skill cap too much for my taste.

51

I feel like mei has the same potential to cause an uproar like doomfist if she ever became viable

52

Mei doesn’t even do much freezing on half-decent opponents. There’s a reason why most consider her secondary to be the real primary.

53

There is no way she has a high skill ceiling. The main point of her kit is to stop people so she or others can kill them. 0 skill required.

54

It’s D.Va. Off the top of my head: Fun/interesting to play, a versatile tank, counters a lot but is also countered by a lot and doesn’t really hard counter anyone nor is really hard countered by anyone, not as oppressive or frustrating as Mei or other debilitating heroes (no hard CC, just a boop), unique defense mechanic that isn’t just another barrier, not too difficult to pick up and do well with but hard to master and easy to mess up with, a versatile ult that serves to create space and punish bad positioning or can be used in conjunction with other ults yet leaves her vulnerable when used and easy pickings for a sniper, pretty cute and not fat.

55

Same could be said about Doomfist before he got killed by incompetent devs

56

You don’t play Mei, do you?
Or at least not against competent players.

Freeze isn’t as reliable as you think.

57

Yes I do and I wreck with her because she is ridiculously easy to dominate with. She has a very easy kit to use and master.

58

That’s funny, because I can see on your open profile that you have 0 hour playtime on Mei in quickplay and in competitive.

Cool. You can look at one of my 3 accounts. Good for you.

K.

You’re still wrong though.

I’m not. Not much to change my mind, I pick her for a easy win. That’s all there is to it. She’s made for a team that can’t aim. And super useful for countering flankers, because even a eggplant can freeze a tracer with her.
