Mei is the template hero for good design

He’s trolling, he has no exp on mei and he has no 3 accounts
No one has 3 accounts while hardstuck 1900

You get frozen as tracer? Sounds like you need to get a whole lot better at the game
I think you’re just salty that you get flanked by meis in the bronze league because you have no awareness

You’re right.
No person with a decent game sense will say:

He must be trolling.

If she’s has cc in her kit and is the template for all design, naturally the heros are going to get some form of cc

I think you have missed OP’s point with this thread. Read that list, and see which aspects are mentioned there. CC is not mentioned.

Point is, aspects mentioned in the thread about Mei are pointers towards better hero design, including my comment about well designed CC. “Template” means that you can fill that template with different abilities. No one here said “every hero needs CC” expect you. You kinda brought that up.

I can agree to everything, except that one. But I respect it.

I agree. Mei is indeed a good template hero.

She has her counters, but also heroes that she can counter.
She has her strength but also her weaknesses.
She can be oppressive, but not overpowered.

And her kit is fair too:

  • Her CC is slow and offer counterplay in many forms.
  • Her Icicle deal decent burst damage, but it’s a projectile with a cast time.
  • Her iceblock protects herself, but also give the enemy the chance to camp at it.
  • Her wall can block and seperate, but mobile heroes can ignore it. It can also be destroyed.

She’s balanced.

And despite what Lightning think, is Mei Bae.

I’d argue McCree is as well for the more straighforward approach. Good damage with either the lower skill flashfan or with the high skill double headshot, clear distinction between good and bad players with a fairly low skill floor considering the height of the skill ceiling. Countered by just as many as he counters and doesn’t enforce cheesy or pubstomp style of team comps.

Though Blizzard still has no idea how to balance him out properly.
But that’s the case with most heroes it seems. They could be perfect, but ultimately Blizz is the one balancing them not us.

there is one thing that bloody well terrifies me with Mei as a hero, and its not in game mechanics but the use of weaponized cryogenics, so Mei creates a weapon that can both partially cryogenically freeze someone so the little lass can then fire a cryogenically hardened bolt of ice into their heads.

IT realistically takes a hell of a twisted mind to create a weapon system that is so innately inhumane.

Now only a bikini skin is missing for perfection. Or a pingu mascott one :stuck_out_tongue:

Making a hero do 3 roles negates the heros that can only do 1 role.

The ending line should stop at a hero doing 2 roles, but at the cost of doing them less than their counterparts.

I.e. hog being a DPS-tank but with no teamplay capabilities.

Or how Soldier can AoE heal, but not like any support.

That’s how you achieve a balanced hero.

Plus Brig was built solely off countering Trace, So it only makes sense that she would be broken. Countering Tracer = countering every other hero 3x as bad.

Say whatever you want to make yourself feel better about using the cheapest hero in the game. Seriously I have nothing to prove to any of you fan Bois.

Please, blizz, lets do it

As a Mei main, I would disagree, I would say Zenyatta is the template.

Easy to pick up, hard to master.

Very high skill ceiling.

Can operate solo but best in teams.

No fancy get out of jail free cards, ie dash or blink, boost away, etc.

Must learn to position and play well with others.

Um okay. And who has one account with all hours on one hero? Please think before you speak.

This I can definitely agree to.

You.

Relax everyone. I know he’s trolling, but believe me when I say that I’m enjoying this. I love the nonsense he is spouting.
