Mei nerf has made a big difference

• The only goats changes Mei received during goats to deal with goats was the damage buff to her freeze.
• The piercing freeze was added before goats was a thing.

Except it was still added for the sole purpose of coutnering the predicted Tank meta that became GOATS…

Geoff said so in his Brigitte Q and A right when the Multi Freeze buff went on PTR that it was done intentionally to counter their predicited upcoming GOATS/Tanky meta. Do your research guys

@GeoffGoodman

We’re always trying to get ahead of the meta and trying to predict what shifts are likely to take place. In this case, we’re seeing some potential for a big tank meta on the horizon, especially with Moira just recently being released and how good she is at healing multiple tanks.

We’ve actually had this sort of meta game in the past and overall it seemed often seemed more frustrating for players than even dive can be sometimes. So as a direct answer to your question i’d certainly be worried about buffing heroes like Roadhog, Zarya, and even Ana until we can get a better gauge on how the game is shifting.

In fact, we’re looking at buffing Reaper and Mei in an upcoming PTR patch (hopefully this week) since they could use a boost and they could help with this meta if it comes around.

So yes, multi freeze was LITERALLY made entirely to counter GOATS/tanky comps. Which no longer is physically possible now that 2-2-2 is enforced.
