Mei bug list (with examples)

Mei is one of my favorite heroes in this entire game and it annoys me that she has so many common bugs that no one is talking about, like dying while activating cryo-freeze, getting trapped while inside the ice block, walls not placing where the marker shows and several more.

Cryo-freeze:

Cryo-freeze is a huge part of Mei's kit, allowing her to become invincible and heal herself. This ability can be used to outplay your opponent by freezing yourself before your opponent uses their CC ability, such as McCree's flashbang, Roadhog's hook or Ana's sleep dart, allowing for a quick kill. Mei constantly dies during the activation of cryo-freeze for some unknown reason. Sometimes your ability goes on cooldown and sometimes it doesn't.

Bug 1.

Cryo-freezing and getting stunned or killed out of it, and having it go on cooldown OR having it stay off cooldown but still dying.

Ice Wall:

Ice Wall is another part of Mei's kit that, if used correctly, can be deadly. Sometimes your wall places in the wrong place, not where you're looking. Sometimes your enemies walk through the wall and tons of other random things that the player has no control over.

Bug 2.

Trying to place her wall but the wall places somewhere other than where you chose to place it

Bug 3.

Strange interaction between Orisa's Halt and Mei's Ice Wall

Bug 4.

Killed by McCree's Deadeye through the Ice Wall

Bug 5.

Strange interactions between Reinhardt's Charge and Mei's Ice Wall

Bug 6.

Enemies walking into wall, then teleporting to the top.

Bug 7.

Instead of the wall pushing Mei up, it surrounds her and leaves her no higher than before use.

Bug 8.

Instead of the wall pushing Mei up, it pushes her to the side to stay on the ground rather than being lifted up.

Bug 9.

Strange interactions between Doomfist's Rocket Punch and Mei's Ice Wall

Bug 10.

I'm not even too sure what happened here, but it doesn't seem intended.

Bug 11.

A Mei player is unable to graph a vertical ice wall ready for casting as fast as they are able to press the key (Default: E). If the key is pressed twice fast enough, the game will not register the second press, therefore the ice wall graph on the map is still horizontal, which will result a horizontal ice wall when the player expects a vertical ice wall.

Bug 12.

When one of Moira's orbs collides with a Mei's Ice Wall, the wall absorbs the orb. (may have been fixed on the PTR.)

Bug 13.

Orisa's Halt orb pulls Mei through her wall.

Blizzard:

Blizzard is in a less than desirable position. Besides losing it on activation and sometimes dying during activation and losing your entire ult, most characters can use their movement abilites and escape, not to mention that it is a LOS (line of sight) ability, so if you wouldn't be able to see your opponent, they won't get frozen.There's also a few of bugs with her ult.

Bug 14.

Snowball despawn on disruption during ultimate (not a glitch or bug, but shouldn't happen.)

Bug 15.

Frozen opponent knocked down having an incorrect hurtbox.

Bug 16.

Snowball getting stuck on some sort of collision with the payload

Bug 17.

Snowball disappearing out of thin air, and losing ult

Bug 18.

After throwing Snowball, a really loud and strange noise can be heard, and the ult can be delayed. I'm not sure what causes this. Just found this today while playing.

Here's another whole post like this one, but just for Mei's ult. https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/7gwtrw/fix_meis_ultimate_it_is_very_inconstant_and/

Suggestions:

Mei isn't a terrible hero. Some of her bugs happen so often it's unbelieveable. Being able to reload slowy over time during Cryo-freeze would probably be the perfect buff. Her reload time is already about 1.5 seconds long, and I dont know how many times I came out of ice block to have to reload for another second, then lose the fight because of a long reload time. If most if not all of Mei's bugs are fixed, she will most likely be in a good position. Please tell me if I've missed any bugs or made any errors in spelling or grammar.
