[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;51681163]Am I a bad person for liking Mei so much because she's probably the closest to the Pyro? I play her hit-and-run ambush tactics style, she excels at that.[/QUOTE]
On defense run up to their spawn
Hide until they rush past
Pick off the squishy people as they exit their spawn
Infinite rage.

Not standing next to a Mei when you don't have the means to stop the freeze or kill them

I thought he was implying people were mad about Mei because FPS players don't understand positioning (as opposed to something like a MOBA or whatever), and was about to contest him.
[QUOTE=Fouytan222;51681173]A hero should never be able to contest an objective while invulnerable, period.
Either make the Ice-Block breakable with like ~500 hp or remove its ability to contest outright.[/QUOTE]
This is all it would take, and it would make her so much easier to deal with. It's easily possible to 1v1 her, until she pops her cube, heals up almost fully, and either ice walls and escapes, or finishes you off.
THAT'S what's infuriating about her (and her ability to contest while invincible) , not that 'movement slowing/freezing abilities are annoying and people are going to whine about it'
anyone else getting an update?
I wouldn't mind if blizzard made mei wall be 1 section instead of several smaller ones that need to be individually broken, and adding a bit of health to compensive.
As it is now, breaking a single column does next to nothing.
That way, if your team focus fires, you can actually bring it down, like rein shield. It would also make bastion slightly more useful.

How often do 1v1s actually happen in this game though?

A Mei on 2cp last is pretty much more valueable than a Mercy ressuection
Just because she can press shift.

Even if he is an average Ana is way better.

I doubt an Ana who's no good at aiming is better than a good Mercy.
He's simply biding his time until Mercy get's her much deserved overhaul.

Until people complain about rez again and its right back to the dumpster
Every hero needs to be killable instantly by hanzo mains or else they storm reddit until they are nerfed.
such is the law.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;51681307]I thought he was implying people were mad about Mei because FPS players don't understand positioning (as opposed to something like a MOBA or whatever), and was about to contest him.[/QUOTE]
although I kinda was, because let's get real here. there is "larger" positioning (i.e. where you are on the map) in FPS games, but outside of R6 Siege, CS:GO, and very competitive tac-shooters, the specific details of where you're standing and engaging from don't matter, especially once you get into "arcade-ier" shooters.
in a MOBA, you have to keep better track of the radii of each area of effect, the exact range limitations of each move you can make and that your opponent can make (doubly so for characters where the range of an attack affects its potency or effects, like reverse falloff), along with exactly where you're standing in regards to the enemy's team, their positions, your teammates, the jungle, creep equilibrium, etc. crowd control is an important part of this-- its efficacy depends on travel times, nearby structures, and the creep wave-- as it's a massive constant of gameplay.
crowd control effects mostly don't exist in shooters outside of the rare class-based and hero-shooter exceptions, and positioning isn't as finely-maintained; so, instead of gitting gud and learning how to properly place themselves to mitigate the effectiveness of a Mei, they whine.
[QUOTE=Keychain;51681739]I doubt an Ana who's no good at aiming is better than a good Mercy.[/QUOTE]
You really have to try to not be able to land bio grenades/nano boost.
and thats already more useful than mercy.

Bane to this game ever being properly balanced.
But I guess personality wise he's what, generic tough guy?
Zenny is easily the most badass of all the heroes. He's a scrawny ghandi intellectual type, a healer, and yet he STILL kicks massive ass, even melting tanks by himself. He gives zero fucks, giving his opponents life advice when he kills them and nothing phases him.
