Mei's overhaul in Overwatch 2 caused such surprise amongst players that they laughed it off in the middle of a match. Overwatch 2 is essentially a massive update to the original Overwatch. Several new arenas, three new playable characters, and additional cosmetic items have been introduced to the game to better convey the intended style. Those who participated in the pilot project will not be fazed. The only time this wouldn't be the case is if the player was a Mei main. Massive modifications have been made to Mei, and they are almost all improvements. Her slowdown now takes only half a second to have an impact, down from a full second. Her primary attack has had its damage increased from 55 to 100. The blaster's capacity was increased from 120 to 150, at long last. At first glance, this looks promising, but only if the flaws in her attacks and defenses don't activate. A single nerf could make the character unplayable for some gamers. In addition, Mei can no longer freeze-stun her foes. That's why she's such a formidable opponent to heroes like Roadhog: she can stun them. So now, even if the player successfully employs Roadhog, she has a significant disadvantage against him. One gamer, BOGBOG, took the news personally and responded with a single phrase, uploaded on Reddit, much to the community's amusement. That won't make up for the frustration felt by BOGBOG and others who learned this the hard way in the middle of a game. They will wait indefinitely for something that never happens. While she may now be one of the game's finest direct damage heroes, the nerf to her in this area is guaranteed to cause further heartbreak. However, as soon as the players have finished processing this enormous tragedy, Mei's rise to power may hopefully begin. Mei is one of the OGs, a true legend. She may hurt some feelings temporarily, but in the long term, she will come out on top.
