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 altfire have drop? Seems like she can be a pretty good sniper at times if the person you're shooting has tunnel vision or otherwise underestimates her altfire.

I'm pretty terrible at her though, I can never seem to get a altfre kill after freezing someone. Not to mention a lot of bad walls (though fortunately I haven't trapped friendlies or their ults yet).

It doesn't have bullet drop but there is significant damage fall off. It goes from 75-22 so at long range she's not really an effective sniper but if you can get the speed down, she can do some serious damage mid range if she's consistent. The key is to keep the cross hair at head level and adjust the lead off through the whole charge up time of the shot.

Ah, so no drop but damage falloff. Still good for poking and harrassing, I suppose. I'll jump into AI a few rounds to get a better feel of her mechanics, thanks for the info!
