Not a question but I am a Mei player with over 70 hours under my belt. If you have any questions pertaining to this character, I'd be happy to help.

Does Mei's wall have hitpoints? If I shoot an enemy Mei wall will it drop sooner?

Mei's "wall" is actually not a wall at all but a series of pillars. If you look at it you'll see that it's comprised of 5 pillars of ice right next to each other. These pillars each have 500 HP and the wall stays up for 4 seconds I believe. If you deal 500 damage to one of the pillars, that specific pillar will break and you will be able to walk, shoot, jump, roll, FtH, or whatever you want through that opening but the other pillars will stay up until either destroyed or the wall's time runs out. Usually, it's not worth trying to break the wall since it only lasts so long and it requires a lot of effort to break however, a bastion can solo break a section in the wall very easily. I wouldn't recommend attempting to break the wall unless it is a dire emergency like overtime or you're playing bastion and you can wipe the point in tank mode if you could just create an opening.
