In the year 2022, Overwatch 2, the sequel to the acclaimed multiplayer shooter from Activision Blizzard that is causing a lot of excitement among the followers of the IP.
For all this, and in view of the fact that it is a title that will continue the essence of the previous one, many of the characters from the original title must be balanced according to the coming mechanics in order not to be too broken in the online, being so we have been able to know that Mei will be one of these characters.

Under this premise, we have recently been able to meet through Matthew Super Delisi, a professional Overwatch player who has been able to test the sequel privately and give his impressions, stating that Mei’s Blaster no longer freezes enemies, but will deal heavy damage in contrast, this change being bigger than expected, since it will go from doing 55 damage per second (DPS) to doing 90. Almost double.
It is worth mentioning that, despite the fact that currently, or at least in the version played by Super, Mei does that damage, It should not be ruled out that this character and the rest may be subject to any type of change between now and launch., which, in theory, would be in 2022 at the same time as the OWL.
It will be necessary to see what the final result is for the exit of the game, since the changes go far beyond statistics, as has been seen in the character of Bastion with his new appearance. On the other hand, it will also be necessary to see how the title develops with the controversies surrounding Activision Blizzard.
For the rest, it only remains to say that, in theory, Overwatch 2 would come to the original consoles, that is to say, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. However, it should be noted that the delay in launch caused by the pandemic could cause a number of changes to the original plans, so We would be waiting for the versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S to be confirmed.
