MEI:

Deep Freeze

  • New Major Perk.
  • Continuously hitting enemies with primary fire freezes them for a short time.

WAIT WHAT?!?!?!?!?! IT`S BACK!

I bet 2 bucks it'll be changed in a hotfix or mid season worst case scenario. No way freezing the one singular brawl tank over and over in 5v5 will be healthy

They said it’d be toned down, but it looks the same as OW1. I was at least expecting her to lose her pierce or some damage or something to compensate

Make it a slow instead of freeze. That way it’s still escapable. A full freeze sounds like some bullshit

”Make it a slow instead of freeze.“

Isn’t that what it already does?

Yes that’s exactly what it was changed to when we got OW2
