This Mei change is proof the devs can get it right!

Mei is officially DUMPSTERED for 99.99% of us. I was right, Robot Wizard was wrong and now I am going to take solace in my pettiness which, given how all of my mains besides Ana have been dumpstered, I am entitled to revel in.

K. But just sayin, I think I got a pretty decent idea where devs thoughts are at in Mei design…

Please... please do something about power creep

Think of Mei as more of an additional offtank, instead of an additional DPS. My guess, if they do nerf Mei, it’s probably going to be less Slow effect on her primary fire. Like 20% Initial Slow, instead of 30% Initial Slow. Or a tiny bit less Freeze, such that the double icicle isn’t possible. Like 1.3sec Freeze, instead of 1.5sec Freeze.

Interesting approach. Although what I’d do, if you’re going that direction, is just lower her ammo, but decrease the cost of secondary attacks. Currently she has 200 ammo, primary fires 20rounds per second, and needs 31 rounds to freeze. (I.e. 6.45 potential freezes per reload) Also secondary fire uses 20 ammo. What if, she had 100 ammo, but secondary fire costs only 10 ammo. Then she’d only have the potential to freeze 3.22 times per reload.
