[QUOTE="Admin, post: 57687, member: 1"] Blizzard has announced that it is temporarily removing [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/overwatch-2']Overwatch 2[/URL] hero Mei from the game due to a bug. The character is expected to return to the game alongside the next patch, which is due out on November 15. "We are temporarily disabling Mei to address a bug with her Ice Wall ability that allows heroes to reach unintended locations," Blizzard stated in a tweet from its customer 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 bug allowed Mei to use her wall to get her to locations outside the gameplay boundaries, which frequently resulted in players being able to hide out of sight from opponents and earn easy damage and kills. The exploit can be seen in [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/yhgeuk/game_breaking_exploit_on_busan_remove_the_map/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3']this clip posted on Reddit[/URL].

In our [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/overwatch-2-review']Overwatch 2 review[/URL], we called the game "a very fun team-based FPS, packed full of charm and love for the world it takes place in." You can download and play it for free right now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
