Hey, Pally! The reason Mei's Q is called Snow Blind is because snow blindness is a real thing. In an open field of pure white snow with the sun shining all the white reflects the sunlight back at you so its like standing on a mirror. If you've ever seen snow-themed characters wear goggles with little narrow eye slits, those are to prevent snow blindness.
I would guess the Q is not called "snowball" because the cute little robot that casts some of Mei's abilities and sits on her back is also called "snowball" and the Q has nothing to do with the little guy. So I think it's to prevent confusion but you did get confused so maybe it's not working.
Then they could've just named the ability "Snowball!" like Mei's shouting its name or something. She has to get the snow from somewhere, after all. Double Entendre.
Aye I literally just clicked on TH-cam and wondered if pally had a new video yet and sure enough he was like yes yes I do almost as if he answered my question
Short intro, just like my patience for playing against overloaded, I mean mei. I'm mainly playing bruiser, tank and support and seeing her just casually fly past me without being able to stop her and then my backline is either slowed or stunned after the push they got into the enemy team, just makes my blood boil *snip* Basically what I'm saying is that mei to me is what valeera is to pally; a pain in the ass.
pally at 9.26 where u say it didn work out, wel you casted avalanche to late tho, 1 second earlier wouldve been done it, since blaze waited mostly to cast ult by you, so if u wouldve been casted it earlier, u wouldve get both. but it also seems tha blaze had very good reaction's so kind of 50/50 xD
A - Z part 52 sadly i have not played her after 2 months that deathwing came out my pc was not working and my country well things are not good in iran i still dont have a pc couldn't even fix it
I doubt it. Feels like this game is basically on maintenance mode. There's buffs and some slight reworks but it's been over a year since the last hero was released. Feels more like most if not all the dev team has been pulled from the game
I mean I STRONGLY dislike Mei....but that is mostly due to how she works in overwatch, for one instance, Mei's Iceblock, in HotS it is just kinda standard sustain with some cc immunities. BUT in overwatch it not only makes you immune to all damage, it doesn't have a health bar so it can't be broken, she still heals in it, oh AND not to forget she can still cap points while being immune to everything.
41-9-1 now following your builds. I was eventually able to get a win but this build took some getting used to for me. I felt so much squishier and more vulnerable without Heat Transfer at 1 and Crystallize at 4. 16 also felt weird to me without Acclimation but the change wasn't as noticeable. All my slows felt less impactful without the extra healing tacked onto them. There were a bunch of times where I'd fling myself into a fight thinking I know how well I could survive with blizzard healing me but when it didn't I kinda died quickly. I don't like being negative in these comments but this one just didn't feel as good as my way of playing her.
Mei with wall is disgusting with her levels of CC locking down more then one person for what feels like forever.(R W combo.) Her Q counters auto attackers that is not super annoying till later levels when she gets 2 Qs. Over all her CC is dodgable for the most part but if she really wants to ruin a Zuljin's life she can. Then as their team go to mess up her if she's not super far from safety just like a Johana with Iron Steed you ain't killing her easily. So a safe tank that can lock down a group of people for a long time with no real counter play to that, yeah doesn't shock me she is one of the top tanks in the game. She is just short of ETC levels of cc but safer then him, team fight wise.
Never expect a budget to do objective when he starving would you ask a sickly child to help you move your heavy luggage no but you definitely probably offer it some money so it can ******* live that's what you need to do with a hungry butcher get that man's meat
"Mei's only downside is her damage." Proceeds to have highest siege and similar damage to Blaze/Zul`jin & Lunara.... I hate Mei, who thought slows, blinds, slows, stuns, stasis, unstoppable, self-healing, displacement, MAJOR displacement and decent DPS were a good thing to throw all onto one hero?
Heroes of the storm is the worst fucking game ever existed. It triggers me so much it literally wrecked my life and made my girlfriend, the only girl I could ever get, LEAVE me. Don't ever play this fucking shit game. It's awful. It's made me a worst person in every way. After thousands of games all I have to show for myself is 50.9% win rate and one lost girlfriend. Screw this game. I uninstalled today and I hope everyone else does.

And maybe also because it blinds?
Thanks for being so consistent with these videos! Always love the A-Z!
Pally playing a snow/ice-themed character and goes:
"I had less cool plays than I had in all of my warmup games."
Dad joke or just a coincidence?!
since when are puns dad joke? xD
❤🔥🤴 "Fewer."
Aye I literally just clicked on TH-cam and wondered if pally had a new video yet and sure enough he was like yes yes I do almost as if he answered my question
Tell me you didn’t click the bell without telling me you didn’t click the bell
I've learned quite a lot over the years from your videos. So thank you for that, Pally :)
Q isn't called snowball cuz It's the name of her little robot, which could cause some confusion ;)
This comment needs to get highlighted :P
What a brutal match, lots of back and forth. Great video as normal thanks!
Love your vids man! I hope you feel better soon get some rest :D
My first time watching a video within the week it came out
In the next A-Z you will have played as a demon two hots videos in a row
Ah Mei. Playing instead her late game feels like you have to chew through her health bar at least thrice to kill her.
Short intro, just like my patience for playing against overloaded, I mean mei.
I'm mainly playing bruiser, tank and support and seeing her just casually fly past me without being able to stop her and then my backline is either slowed or stunned after the push they got into the enemy team, just makes my blood boil

Why get the reduced cooldown for E if you arent using it off cd?
There is a chill mechanic in the game.. wonder why they didn't give it to Mei, then Jaina and mei could combo well
Iirc chill is unique for jaina
That butcher had less kill participation, less siege damage and less hero damage than a mei.
A - Z part 52 sadly i have not played her after 2 months that deathwing came out my pc was not working and my country well things are not good in iran i still dont have a pc couldn't even fix it
Mei is an interesting tank. Pretty much perfect minus the damage.
I ban Mei on maps where fights get quite prolonged (like Dragon Shire or Towers) cause she's friggin unkillable
Do you think pally we would get something new in hots in 2022? Maybe a new hero?Event?
I doubt it. Feels like this game is basically on maintenance mode. There's buffs and some slight reworks but it's been over a year since the last hero was released. Feels more like most if not all the dev team has been pulled from the game
I guess the ability being named "Snow blind" is a nod to the drug induced state.
Also an underrated Steppenwolf tune!
@@BoojumFed Also a little Black Sabbath diddy!
We dont ban mei pally , we dont play hots at all
Funny to see how Mei is much more hard to kill than a butch. Lore friendly.
This is why Hell made sure to get rid of any arctic climatologists in the first wave.
Pally.... Pally... You didn't die at 17 mins, my dude. Comment for engagement.
4:58 bottom left face doesnt look like mei at all. look at face at top of screen for comparison
my favorite hero :D
"If its old, it gets the gold"... Sgt. Hammer isn't gold yet tho
Neither as Lili
Just adding Tychus
while Tracer is level 34
what’s up pally!
fantstic contecnt you god of manlyness! All hail King Mayonnaise!
Dudes name is RupertMurloc, lmao.
this is mei be my favourite tank to play
Meine too. Or at least she's in mei top 3.

BUT in overwatch it not only makes you immune to all damage, it doesn't have a health bar so it can't be broken, she still heals in it, oh AND not to forget she can still cap points while being immune to everything.

I personally would have gone for a blind build vs. a Dingo and Lunara

That Butcher is now in full belief that all the choices they made were good ones lol.
I am begging you, even if you only ever do it super rarely please dont quit heros cold turkey.
GG

The devil itself
Pally you locs are getting long.
that's was a nice butcher.
There's a very obvious reason why it's not called snowball....
PepePls
"Mei's only downside is her damage." Proceeds to have highest siege and similar damage to Blaze/Zul`jin & Lunara....
I hate Mei, who thought slows, blinds, slows, stuns, stasis, unstoppable, self-healing, displacement, MAJOR displacement and decent DPS were a good thing to throw all onto one hero?
Your level 13 talent didnt get much value here
"mei is just so fun" ==> well, fun for the one playing anyways. frustrating as hell to play *against*...
Such a horrible moba. Anything Blizzard touches turns to shit lately. Don't support the cube crawls. Play any other game kthnxabai.
I mean this is his last A-Z so i'm pretty sure after he's done zul'jin he'll be done with the game
They haven't touched it in a while though, that's the secret. ;)
Thirst
