Overwatch 2 is at it again, all the weekend players have been reporting an issue with Mei, as her ability “Ice Wall” have allowed heroes to reach locations that they are not supposed to access. However, it wasn’t until today that Blizzard addressed the problem.
[#OW2] We are temporarily disabling Mei to address a bug with her Ice Wall ability that allows heroes to reach unintended locations. 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. pic.twitter.com/dHP65pMCsX

They announced that from here until November 15 you are not going to be able to use Mei as they will work on solving this and more issues present in the game. You may be wondering, why we need to wait until mid-November to play with her, well the bug is planned to be fixed until the next patch.
Sadly this is not the first Overwatch 2 hero to be put on timeout, Mei is the third character to be removed due to a bug, since its eventful launch. Back in October, Bastion and Torbjorn were removed for two weeks, between October 11 and 25 as they were error-infested.

As expected, Blizzard's official subReddit was flooded with criticism, pointing out how absurd the situation is as the bug is fairly harmless and it doesn’t really affect the game or give an advantage in the match.
Actually, some players took advantage of it and started to explore the maps and find interesting details that no one have seen before. Oh well, now we have to wait for two weeks.
