6/20/2024
Developer Comments: Mei's damage output over time is intended to be on the low end for a Damage hero, as she offers strong utility and survivability through her ability kit, but we would like to make the secondary fire icicle more rewarding by increasing the damage and slightly more difficult to land consistently.
Endothermic Blaster
- Secondary fire base projectile size reduced from 0.15 to 0.12 meters.
- Secondary fire damage increased from 75 to 85.

12/5/2023

Endothermic Blaster
- Maximum ammo reduced from 150 to 120.
10/31/2023
Developer comments: With some of the recent changes, Mei is now slightly overperforming. Her improved primary fire damage output is good for her role, so rather than adjust that further, we're instead targeting the more commonly frustrating crowd control aspect of its slowing effect.
Endothermic Blaster
- Slow effect decreased from 40 to 30%.
10/10/2023
Added the hero-specific option:
- Cryo-freeze Cancel Input – All by default.
9/1/2023
Developer Comment: Mei is still underperforming after her last set of changes, so we are increasing the effectiveness of primary fire and improving the quality of life to Deep Chill.
Endothermic Blaster
- Damage increased from 65 to 70 per second.
- Duration before slow falls off between primary fire hits increased from 0.5 to 0.6 seconds.
Deep Chill
- Bonus damage can now also be triggered with Mei's quick melee.

Endothermic Blaster
Despite the primary fire gameplay feeling more interesting now, Mei's effectiveness overall was negatively impacted by the trade in damage for more slowing utility. We're shifting some of that power back into her damage.
- Maximum slow applied by primary fire reduced from 50% to 40%.
- Primary fire damage per second increased from 55 to 70.
Deep Chill (Passive)
- Maximum slow applied when this effect activates reduced from 75% to 65%.
6/13/2023
Developer Comment: This set of changes is intended to bring back some of the gameplay and feeling Mei's primary fire used to have previously, though without the hard crowd control of a full freeze stun.
Endothermic Blaster
- Damage per second reduced from 100 to 55.
- Primary fire slow is no longer always 40% and now scales from 30-50%.
- Primary fire impacts now build up to a slowing effect that sticks to the enemy target for 1.5 seconds and slows them for 75%.
- Secondary fire impacts can detonate this new slow effect, dealing an additional 40 damage.
