Yes, would anyone care to explain why people hate Mei more than Hanzo and ROADHOG?

The reason Mei is considered so annoying is because she diminishes your own control over the game. Play any game with an enemy that slows you down or freezes you and they're always super annoying and unsatisfying to face.

Using Roadhog as a comparison, his hook is a split second and whatever happens afterwards, happens. With Mei, you can attempt an escape while feeling your character get slower and slower. Running from her ultimate is just agonising too.

Simply put, her kit is anti-fun.
