The point is that she mei be annoying but she's not so strong as to need nerfs, if mei were nerfed she would be outright unplayable and she's already not in a good place.

And yes her right click owns but someone who is consistently headshotting with unaided mei right clicks is probably still handicapping themselves by playing mei in that capacity.

If you're good enough at aiming to be hitting longrange headshots with Mei you could instead play Widowmaker and singlehandedly win games until your mmr is high enough to play against other bullshit Widow players. Or something.

I do wish something could be done to make Mei playable in team games because she's fun, but alas.

Mei's ult is comparable to Hanzo's anyways. His denies a rectangle of space for three seconds or kills them. While mei denies about an equal amount of space [in one spot] for five seconds but freezes targets if they stay too long instead of killing them outright.

Maybe there's something wrong with your game, she yells loud and clear in mine. :confused: Like, there's nothing quiet about it at all, it's as loud as Hanzo or Pharah or anyone else.

McCree is easily the loudest, but Torb, Hanzo and Genji aren't too far behind. After that it's Pharah, Mercy, Zenyatta, Winston, Reaper, and Lucio, loud but not demanding. Junkrat I'm not sure if he says anything, but the rip start to the wheel is loud, and the way it increases as it gets closer to you is helpful. Widowmaker, Soldier 76, Symmetra and Bastion are on the softer side, Mei is dead silent, the ground just starts freezing. Tracer just has beeping, if not for the icon I'd probably miss her quantum bomb. Reinhardt and Roadhog don't seem to say anything, or if they do it's lost in the fact that their ultimate itself is both loud and instant. Never hear what D.Va says, even though I know it's "Nerf this!", I just hear a mech rocketing across the battlefield and see a flashing red icon. Haven't seen enough Zarya's to comment on how loud she sounds.

she can boost symmetra or torb for obnoxious first turret placements for ult charge

probably best with symmetra so you can use her teleporter to switch to a better hero

this is all very strange to me, maybe it's something with peoples' sound settings? everybody except widowmaker, winston and roadhog has a very loud, clear callout when they're using their ultimate. widowmaker's is quiet on purpose, roadhog is just him laughing, and winston is a roar.

i find it very suspicious that you've never heard HAMMER DOWN, FIRE IN THE HOOOOOLE or NERF THIS cause come on those are some of the most obvious ones in the game

I don't consistently get enemy/ally callouts in different languages/lines. I hear Hanzos use both languages on both sides, for example, and not in killcams. When I Zarya Ult I usually hear the russian line and I've heard enemy mercy use both "Heroes never die" and "Helden Sterben Nicht"

I haven't really paid much mind to it since in premades you can just ask who ulted and you usually say "i'm ulting" anyway.

Fun fact about his ult, if he starts the animation but gets knocked into the air, he will hold the animation until he touches the ground. Otherwise his scream blends into the hammer attack audio.

Then you're not parsing it correctly.

Callouts are definitely different for allies/enemies and sometimes different situations (e.g. tracer)

Her kit as it stands is an absolute hot mess of balance. You can't really increase her damage or reduce her time-to-freeze more than they currently are without her feeling woefully oppressive, and more coordinated teams can largely circumvent her or just kill her from range. I suspect she's just going to be kept in the "mediocre but playable" zone for most of this game's life until (if) they do a pass on her kit.

There are other ways to tweak Mei, you know

I have the same problems :saddowns:. I know the sequence for loving over the standard sniper spots on anubis as genji but I really want more practice on other maps. I love attacking anubis point A as genji because you get a whole half of the map that you want the defense to focus on as you harass their backline. Thanks for listening to my tale of Genji.

the non-english lines/extra loud lines are when either YOU are ulting, or when the enemy is ulting. so you'll hear yourself say gotovnosti, the enemy will say gotovnosti, but a zarya teammate says fire at will.

FatSamurai posted:

I really wish they would get rid of Mei's slowdown, make it less severe, or have it be a separate setting on her weapon secondary to damage. When other heroes ambush you, you have a chance to get away or fight back, but Mei's freeze acts so fast whenever I get hit I just let go of my mouse and wait while she has her ten minutes to line up a headshot to kill me. I can deal with any other kills but being slowly buried in snow is just the worst.

Don't wander off solo!

Its kinda lovely dying to Mei like that, but she can't really single you out unless you get icewalled off.

Its like nothing compared to the head hitboxes allowing for hanzo/widow to pick you off as you round a corner. Or McCree/Roadhog CCing then blowing you up.

Yeah the random hero mode is completely ruined by ults. The team that gets Mercy pretty much always wins because they have a healer and she can revive them with their ult charges. So while most of the enemy can't get a single ult up you can comfortably keep your entire team alive because her ult charges so fast.

I really like Lucio. In addition to the healing and speed boost, he's a solid fighter: Small size and fast speed makes him hard to hit; his gun does decent damage, and is good at killing immobile characters at range, or spamming at chokepoints. It's easy to disengage due to speed and repel gun, and he spends less time getting back to the fight after dying.
