Mei will destroy the owl?

Why do people keep lying about this? That buff was during dive, and it was to make it consistent and make Mei actually usable in a team fight as freeze could be completely shutdown by an enemy accidentally running in front of it.

She had 1 ghosts buff, increase in primary fire DPS…

Actually, you’re the wrong one here. Geoff literally said when the Multi Freeze buff went on PTR that it was to counter the upcoming tank/GOATS meta they were expected to happen with Brig’s release.

@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.

They even say dive is looking to be completely replaced with a tanky meta in this post, so your claim that they buffed Mei to make her better against dive is just wrong. Especially since they said they were weary of buffing Ana/Zarya/Hog against dive in case dive just died off on it’s own with Brig’s release.

Do your research before calling other people liars.

It was added in 2018, which is long before goats…

@RobotWizard-116887

I think Multifreeze was at end of dive, just before goats.

AS IT IS, it wouldn’t have helped her.

Tagging you two because you’re also spreading the misinformation.
