I haven’t played Mei in quite a while, but I decided to try her again. \u00a0I’ve noticed some changes.<\/p>\n

First off, when was the last time you saw a Mei PotG? I haven’t in absolutely ages.<\/p>\n

I also noticed she can no longer headshot anyone. \u00a0I thought it was just tanks but I tested it on bots and a full icicle to the face or face region absolutely does not one-shot. \u00a0They are slow firing in that there is a very slight delay as the icicle moves out of the weapon, which would be ok if it hit for a lot. \u00a0It doesn’t. \u00a0It took something like 4 full body shots of said slow-weapon to kill a bot. \u00a0I had to freeze this Widow solid before I was able to head-shot her, since the ice ray also reduces health. But she was totally not paying attention, you’ll never EVER get that with most of the cast.<\/p>\n

Why is that? \u00a0Well, \u00a0thanks to everyone being very mobile. You can’t freeze people who can get out of range of you quickly. \u00a0D.va can boost away, Doomfist can do whatever he does to bum rush things or uppercut. \u00a0Genji has dash and crazy aerobatics. \u00a0Junkrat can blow himself away, Lucio can speed boost. \u00a0McCree is somewhat susceptible but he could also flash-bang you. \u00a0Mercy can fly away, Orisa has that cool down that avoids freezing (pretty sure), Pharah can push you away or fly away. \u00a0Reaper can wraith, and Rein is likely going to slap you in the face. \u00a0The tanks don’t really count because even Roadhog, there is no way you are going to dent his HP yourself anyway. \u00a0Soldier can sprint, Sombra can port or spring inviz, Symm will fry your face off before you freeze her. \u00a0Torb might be a possibility, but Winston and Tracer are hard to catch. \u00a0Zarya just bubbles herself and Zenyatta might be out of luck. You may get lucky and slow them a little, but since you have no movement abilities of your own, if they are slightly faster, they will get away.<\/p>\n

So I would say that really only Ana, Bastion, McCree, Roadhog, and Torb have a decent chance are getting frozen or even slowed. \u00a0Then you have her ult, which you announce during the throw and it takes a few seconds to take effect so, everyone with any mobility just totally runs out of it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I dunno. \u00a0I just feel like she needs another buff like her ult freezing quicker.<\/p>\n
