I think Mei is in the perfect spot right now but there are two major issues that drain any fun from the hero for me (and one minor one but idc too much about that one):
Fix her damn ult already. I don’t care if it’s design or programming, intentional or unintentional, losing your ult AND the charge feels horrible when you get randomly booped/hooked/stunned/whatever.
Make ice block an actual immunity the moment you press it. I have died soooo often through it, because latency + favor the shooter + animation. Feels horrible to outplay a flashbang/rocket or even a widow headshot only to still die.
(3.) Make her primary slow vertical movement as well, in particular to genji and to a lesser extent hanzo. It’s odd that a hero designed to counter mobility isn’t effective on the most mobile heroes.
Anyway, stay frosty everyone!
(edit: fixing both my major issues won’t buff the hero in any significant way, and giving her an extra edge over genji is so specific that it will hardly affect her balance either)
This bothers me so much. The whole camera shifts to third person for a moment only to snap back into first person because apparently you’re not allowed to use Cryofreeze to defend yourself. They said they’d fix this almost a year ago but never did.
I think they meant fixing the issue where Roadhog could hook Mei out of it and put the ability on cooldown. Even though it hasn’t been mentioned in the patch notes, has this bug been fixed.
They take so long to fix or adjust things, especially on characters with low pick rates, that it doesn’t hurt to keep reminding them considering how often they visit the forums.
True.
If there is a problem then it’s better to keep bringing it up.
A great example of this another bug Mei had. The bug where Mei’s Cryo-Freeze didn’t remove anti-heal.
It has been over a year on the know-issues-list, but it only got fixed when a player brought it up. Because it took so long to get it fixed were players, and Overwatch youtubers, calling it a buff instead of a bug fix.
Another great example is Doomfist. He was broken and unplayable for months due to his bugs, but he got fixed once Jeff read about it, and even then was his first response “what bugs?”. There were even articles on gaming news sites about Doomfist bugs finally getting fixed and the person who made it hapoened was labeled as a hero by YouTube channels.
Just keep posting about it then it will get fixed eventually.
(They finally fixed Mei’s hat of her Mei-rry skin, but I posted about it ever since around Summer Games event.)
Same problem as Ana’s dart and McCree’s flashbang, if the caster dies or is disabled in some capacity the projectile will die, ex. as Ana it happens a lot, you fire a dart at hog way before his chain hits you but someone finishes you off before the dart reaches hog, the result is hog not getting hit by the dart because it died with you.
Can we also get cryo to reload her ammo? I think just about every other hero with some form of immunity/transform/etc ability gets full ammo when used.
Nah although I would love that, she doesn’t need it. Other heroes with immunities don’t heal so it’s not like iceblock only has drawbacks in comparison. All she needs is these bugs to be fixed.
Wow nice rebuttals, very well constructed, bravo! You barely read what I wrote.
Her slow is only cancer to bad players, how about you just stick to working on yourself while Blizzard fixes glaring issues that have nothing to do with balance.
