Why did mei get a buff?

there was nothing wrong with her she didn’t under perform, she did her job right so why in the blue hell did she get two buffs?

Maybe because she had one of the lowest pickrates in the game?

well i mean the new mei is super anoying and really pisses me off but being honest the last few months u barely saw any mei players and she was pretty useless.
So she does deserve this buff

Satan wasn’t being satanic enough.

Because she needed it.

even when she had the lowest pick rate you could still disrupt pushes with her, just because a hero has a low pick rate doesn’t mean their abilities change

Just gonna assume this guy is in gold.

don’t need scatter to kill mei in close range lulz, her hitbox is huge, anyone with decent track can kill her, just like symmetra

damn you right (20 characters)

Over the last 14 months she has consistently had 1 of the lowest pickrates in the game.

She has also had a negative winrate over the last 14 months.

She also has the lowest on-fire % of any hero besides Mercy and Winston.

Her average damage (per 10 mins) is lower than the entire DPS roster, most of the tanks, and also moira, zenyetta, and symmetra.

Add that to the fact that she wasn’t even buffed… 2 extra icicles per clip is not an appreciable buff that does anything to help Mei in any way. An extra 0.5 second slow doesn’t allow us to effectively deal with anybody we couldn’t deal with before, Genji and Tracer still run rings around us and the extra slow means nothing against heroes we could already deal with… it’s not like we can slow them any harder than we did before.

Mei is AWFUL across the board. She is not in a position like Torb or Symm where their PC stats are bad, but they fair better on consoles making a buff problematic.

Mei sucks on every platform, she sucks in every game mode, she sucks on every map, she sucks at everything, and the recent “buff” she got did absolutely nothing to address any of that.

What the game have you been playing? Mei has been a joke for well over year and before that she was just used for her ult. Furthermore these changes are buffs in only the most literal sense in the same way increasing doomfists runing speed by 1% is technically a buff. For all the effort people have wasted into the Meigathread this is the best they would come up with? Wtf do the devs spend all their time doing 0_o?

Just a few things wrong with her: Ice Wall has a delay before it is useful for protection where it can still take damage. (Self destruct can destroy the wall and you behind it)

Cryo favors the shooter and will go on CD if it is broken from it.

One of the lowest pickrates in the game for a long time, the only reason she sees any use at all is because people use her to stall.

She has the only non-shotgun projectile with falloff.

Her ultimate rarely freezes anybody if she isn’t there to assist it.

There was and still is plenty wrong with her and she needs buffs and fixes.

You know she was updated right?

And like your request are stupidly absurd she has the same fire rate as tracer with less spread and the ability to accurately headshot with 480 max body damage
