Overwatch 2 is shedding an additional hero, this time around for regarding 2 weeks. Blizzard Entertainment tweeted Monday that it’s taking Overwatch 2 hero Mei offline as a result of a pest with her Ice Wall capability. If all works out, Mei will certainly go back to the game in a spot on Nov. 15. As a Mei primary, I am ruined. An out of whack indication? Not the kind of tool beauty I was wishing for.

“We are temporarily disabling Mei to address a bug with her Ice Wall ability that allows heroes to reach unintended locations,” Blizzard tweeted from its client service account. “We are working to address these issues as quickly as possible and aim to bring Mei back in our next upcoming patch which is set for November 15.”

The insect allow Mei thrust herself outside map borders. You can see the insect at work on Overwatch 2’s Busan map, using a clip posted to Reddit. In it, a Kiriko gamer utilizes the Swift Step capability to teleport to Mei. Later, the gamers make use of the make use of to move Symmetra out of the map, also — efficiently permitting them invincibility as well as simple targets, due to the fact that nobody else can see where they are.

While this is Mei’s very first time resting points out, these sort of suspensions are not uncommon for Overwatch 2 during its rocky launch last month. Heroes Bastion as well as Torbjörn were eliminated from the game after they accidentally secured gamers out of virtually one-third of the game’s lineup, in addition to various other pests. These 2 were eliminated from the game on Oct. 10, as well as were completely included back in simply recently.

Overwatch 2’s launch has actually been harsh. On launch day, the game dealt with large lines as a result of an increase of gamers, adhered to by what Blizzard called a “mass DDoS” assault that made the game mostly unplayable for a considerable quantity of gamers. Soon after, an additional questionable insect apparently cause Overwatch 2 gamers accidentally buying character skins with in-game money. This was evidently brought on by the game logging crucial strokes while gamers were concentrated on talking in the Hero Gallery. That’s all in addition to dispute surrounding its battle pass and monetization.

Overwatch 2’s Halloween occasion is real-time currently with co-op goals. Thankfully, Mei’s not entailed there.
