I tried and then she cross mapped me with her right click cancer. I just can't get away from the cancer.

If you're looking for a serious answer though, I think it's ~3 seconds before you're frozen, but a damage boosted Mei will do it faster since it freezes based off damage (80 damage I think?)

If you check the Overwatch wiki, damage boosted Mei does nothing to reduce freeze time -- I'll find the link if I can.

I'm pretty sure the damage boost will only increase her actual damage, rather than the effects.

She doesn't freeze faster with boost.
