During October, Blizzard had to make changes to two Overwatch 2 heroes due to bugs, taking Bastion and Torbjorn out of the roster. To kick off November, Mei was disabled due to another bug. While Blizzard planned to bring Mei back this week, the fix has been delayed. 

Mei, a popular DPS character in Overwatch 2, was disabled two weeks ago due to a bug with one of the character's abilities. The bug in question pertains to Ice Wall, one of Mei's abilities, which as you would expect, spawns a wall of ice on the map. A bug with the ability allowed for the Ice Wall to be used to reach “unintended locations” of the map and in some cases, it could also be used to get outside of the map.

Blizzard planned to bring Mei back free of bugs in a patch on the 15th of November, but due to a last-minute ‘critical issue', Blizzard delayed the patch by a couple of days. It will now be coming out tomorrow, the 17th of November.

This patch won't just fix Mei, it will also make other balance changes and bug fixes.

KitGuru Says: Mei is a very useful character and is pretty popular among DPS players. So far though, Blizzard hasn't had to disable any support or tank characters, which is good as there is a lower selection of those heroes.
