[QUOTE=Wulfram;50498871]this pisses me off so much because all the characters I play literally have no way of countering her because in close quarters I cant do enough damage to kill her before me freezes me. Honestly I'm more annoyed by Mei at this point than McCree. Killing people with Mei in cqb takes less skill than mister E-M2[/QUOTE]
With Lucio and Pharah you can at least use E or M2 to push Mei's back. And Pharah pushes herself too
[QUOTE=Altimor;50498889]
Except for the part where the flashbang is near instant and the freeze takes 1.5 seconds[/QUOTE]
1.5 seconds is like nothing. I've had McCree's who flashbang me and miss or dont shoot fast enough before the flashbang wears off and I'm able to jump out of the way. But if I encounter a Mei in close range, Im almost always dead.
Bought a few more lootboxes and got another legendary D.Va skin...

I don't even play her that much... but oh well I've at least got a bit more currency.

"Fall back!/Enemy ult incoming!" and "Help me!" would be nice, too.

With lucio it doesn't work because all it takes is just to get hit by a single particle to slow down considerably, pushing her away doesn't even delay the inevitable, unless she's close to a cliff

When I'm playing Lucio is pretty much the only time I'm able to get away from her because I can push back and then switch to the speed boost and get out of range but if I'm playing Soldier I'm pretty much dead unless I can do enough damage to them to force them to go into their icecube so I can run away.

It tends to work, but unless there's a corner I can turn, I usually get mowed down by one or more icicles.

1.5 seconds is way slower than any not-Genji DPS can kill her. If you're a tank or healer then you should be with your team anyways. McCree wins for obvious reasons, Soldier can easily helix her at the range she has to be at then shoot her in the face, Tracer can blink/recall out of freeze whenever and also has huge DPS at the range Mei has to be at, Reaper has shift and huge close range DPS, Pharah can jumpjet or conc away, and Roadhog can just hook her.
A McCree might be able to fail and miss, but a good McCree is a big threat. Mei's supersoaker should never be a threat no matter how good they are.

So, I was brainstorming ideas for new heroes earlier.
Support Hero that was stealth based healer? Primary attack is channeled AoE heal for one spherical area and a relatively slow healing rate. Ability 1 is like a light-bend shield that can only be on one ally at a time (Like Zarya shield) but permanently disables whenever it's broken through or the user attacks, and also disables the stealth after broken. Ability 2 is a cloak field that's stationary, not visible to enemy team and keeps all heroes inside it stealthed until they attack or leave the field. Ultimate would be big AoE stealth field, good for setting up "lol we're gonna gangbang your team on the point/payload" when used.
I don't know, I feel like having a hero like this would force Widowmakers to keep their Recon Visors up specifically for when stealth heroes attempt to flank her, but the whole stealth concept is terrible and bad in general, hard to balance and just generally unfun to play against.
This idea isn't really meant to be taken seriously as much as it is to just throw ideas out. I'm curious to see what other people think about potential heroes without reusing other abilities. It seems like a pretty difficult task considering Blizzard seems to have delved into several playstyles and player archetypes for heroes, as well as expanding on already existing ones.
I feel like Mei freezing you ought to be more of a punishment for allowing her to get the jump on you.
Honestly Mei, Widow, Mcree, and multiple Torbs on one team are making me actively not have fun in this game
[QUOTE=Hatley;50498975]I feel like Mei freezing you ought to be more of a punishment for allowing her to get the jump on you.[/QUOTE]
That's what it is. What hero are you playing where Mei is a problem in an even engagement?

It's not like anything about torb is unfair anyways, he's fairly squishy and his turret goes down quickly when it's ill-positioned or against concentrated fire. He's a great support on defense but if he isn't allowed any breathing room he's useless.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;50498986]I enjoy playing against Torb.
I just go Pharah and destroy everything he's ever worked for[/QUOTE]
I probably wouldn't have included torb in that list if it wasn't for teams with more than one of him
[QUOTE=Altimor;50498982]That's what it is. What hero are you playing where Mei is a problem in an even engagement?[/QUOTE]
Just about all of them. Surprisingly enough, I don't reserve my abilities solely to take out Mei, and as such they're often on cooldown when I get jumped.

"I worked hard on that!"
Yeah those five hammer hits musta really knocked the wind outta ya oldster.
[QUOTE=Hatley;50499005]Just about all of them. Surprisingly enough, I don't reserve my abilities solely to take out Mei, and such they're often on cooldown when I get jumped.[/QUOTE]
So you're getting outplayed by someone engaging you with your abilities on cooldown and your team not there to help? Of course she can kill you then, any hero can.
[QUOTE=Kurahk;50498909]Yeah, that's what I miss the most from TF2. In TF2 you had separate commands for compliments and general complaining from the mercs. Something like this does exist in Overwatch but you can't control it and it only happens randomly.[/QUOTE]
Honestly shocked there's no simple "No" command

Something about her legs bothers me, but I like the concept. I wouldn't mind another edgy/psycho character.

She could basically be a Fleshpound.
