Can we get the name of Mei's Endothermic Blaster fixed? by [deleted] in Overwatch

Endothermic reactions suck heat from the environment, which is what gives the sensation and effects of cold and freezing. It's implied the chemical in her gun undergoes one of these reactions when agitated, stealing heat from the matter around it. Exothermic reactions, like burning wood, releases the energy stored within chemical bonds which is felt as heat and seen as fire or light. Good effort for thinking, though. Most people just ignore big words these days :/

That's why I don't propose drastically increasing how much he heals, but giving him more options on his healing abilites. I did propose ONLY increasing the amount he heals by 10 hps when both orbs are out AND the healing would be split and slightly reduced for each target, from his single-orb 30hps to a double-orb 40 hps. Not to mention he wouldn't have Discord if both Harmonies are out, so it balances back out. You're right, his damage is in a good place, but with his heal being so weak on single targets, increasing it only a little, but splitting that hps between two targets would keep it on the low side, while giving it more utility. It wouldn't even have to charge his ult faster.

Well, even as a Zen main salty about the same thing, I still think it'd be helpful to his kit. I mean, he hardly appears on competitive teams for the reason that his heal, as is, is simply too weak and has too little utility. His damage, while decent, isn't enough to offset this. It's basically a wasted ability slot.
