She’s not bad, in fact Mei kinda a sleeper pick right now hardly played but is great still. I also like to assume she has 250 hp because of them phat thi… I mean jacket for sure the jacket.

Why play mei when mccree completely outclasses her in all the ways that matter?

Mei has far more sustain and a more impactful ult unless the enemy team has Dva then forget it but noon isn’t that great 90% of the time. Mei has decent poke and technically two forms of cc one of which is just her primary fire and 250 hp can never be slept on. Remember I’m not saying she’s the best but give her chance she is surprisingly good I’ve dunked on and have been destroyed by mei players numerous times recently.

Isn’t much point using her for it though :frowning: it’s just a bad mccree m1.

It feels incredible outsniping widows with it though.

IMO, Mei is very well designed, and I know of no aspect(s) whatsoever of her kit that can reasonably be described as “terribly designed”

I am concerned with the Mei changes in OW2 it seems like a change that lacks any imagination or creativity.

I agree Mei is pretty bleh right now.

They should buff Cassidy.

Mei Lucio make rein viable in a few more situations.
if rein is struggling play mei

She is pretty decent against hogs that go on stupid deep flanks to keep you in spawn

Why play mccree when soldier outclasses you in nearly every other facet

Kinda hard to “avoid” the enemy mei when she has a rein/zarya/cree/lucio/bap comp, aka, the comp almost literally everyone runs when they get a mei on their team.

They all just group around the mei 24/7.

Together they have rein shield, 2 bubbles, cryo, wall, flash, speed, and lamp. Not even counting that literally half of the teams ultimates are pure CC.

Yea… “just avoid the mei” lmao… it sounds exactly like “just kill lamp 4head”

Mei provides way too much utility to her team ontop of everyone elses utility, which is exactly why she has to stay underpowered.

Cant think of this game as a 1v1 game, it’s a 6v6 game.

What buffs should Mei get that won’t make her overpowered & obnoxious?

But you should be :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: with what seems to be a very interactive & way more viable Bastion on its way soon

Bastion is getting a way more interactive & seemingly viable rework soon. Sym will likely get some changes, everyone is. I don’t think anyone is going to look exactly how they do now. I wouldn’t consider a rework being neglected

What buffs should Mei get that don’t make her obnoxious & overpowered?

She’s getting changed in OW2. What buffs do you think she needs that won’t make her obnoxious & overpowered?

They simply don’t care and probably hate her too like some around here. She’s been a clunky mess for 2 years since they did those 8 dumb nerfs, 2 which completely killed the hero (ammo and cryo changes)…

And almost a year later after they announced that stupid change of no freezing we still don’t know what they will do to the rest of her kit. And my assumption is only because they cater to the whims from rein mains

Let’s ignore the fact that she is exclusively used to troll your team with a wall in spawn and that’s it because she’s outclassed in every way and suffers because of other powercreeped chars in this game… like she has no use in a Ball meta, the pesky character she was supposed to counter long ago, and that’s still fine in the eye of devs cos they’d rather nerf and make that rat clunkier too than give her some help. OWL myth also falls short cos she was like 18th most used hero there last season, tanks having fun argument also is not reasonable because the hero should have a purpose, a niche… and she has none, at least not without a Rein + Lucio to cover her huge weaknesses.

The worst part is they will also nerf her again like we know, but what does it matter anyway? The hero is dead, left behind and is slightly better than doom who also sucks.

What’s funny sad is that Samito places her in A tier so that guy is also delusional af

Brawl isn’t any special comp. It has clear counters.

Numeric changes, QoL changes, small ability reworks.

You know. Stuff like:

  • Ammo increased.
  • Cast time ultimate decreased.
  • Cool down reduced.

Just… Something.


I just find it inexcusable that the devs decided to buff the 2 DPS heroes who are not in need of buffs and have been ignoring DPS heroes who are performing way worse for months/years.

It’s literally their job to balance they game, and they are not doing that.

I’m not sure what these changes would really accomplish depending on the number changes. I think she needs a bit more than number changes.

Maybe, but that’s up to the balance team to figure out. It’s their job. Not mine.

And I would appreciate it if they do a proper job for once.

If they have no problem coming up with drastic changes to McCree’s and Hanzos abilities, and Reinhardt’s ultimate, then surely they should be able to come up with something for other the heroes who are in a far worse spot.

But to be honest, I think the wrong people with a strong bias are in charge at blizzard, and I think this will be very noticeable once OW2 hits live.

Mei is for walling off tanks to sacrifice them to the devil.

She just needs 200 ammo and her ult to not be cancelled when shes stunned or dies.

I think Mei might feel a lot better in OW2 depending on the changes she gets. We haven’t seen what exactly her numbers look like yet. OW2 balance is still highly unknown, so we’ll have to wait & see

This seems like an outdated design, not just because tanking is supposed to become more desirable, not less, but also because there will only be 1 tank in OW2. It’s sorta funny to me that some people think Blizz hates tanks, yet they’ve made more than a few changes to make tanking less miserable, between nerfing Doom/Mei/Reaper and other changes, they’re doing what they can to make everyone happy. But nothing they do will make the forums happy. I’m definitely not envious of their jobs lol
