Just a few weeks ago, Blizzard announced that they are disabling Mei due to an Ice Wall glitch that enabled the hero to reach places she shouldn’t in Overwatch 2. The original plan was for Mei to be put back in via the mid-season patch that was set to be released today. Well, that ain’t happening, as Blizzard has announced that the Overwatch 2 mid-season patch set for November 15 has been pushed back due to a “critical issue.”

Here’s the announcement from Blizzard’s Community Manager:

Today’s patch is delayed as we work to resolve a critical issue. We’ll provide an update here and set the patch live as soon as the problem is addressed.

This includes the upcoming balance changes, bug fixes, including those that affect Mei, and core content updates we have planned for this patch. This delay also impacts the delivery of Overwatch League Viewership Incentives & Perks from the Postseason matches during the period between Oct 30 – Nov 4, along with the rotation of cosmetics in the Overwatch League shop.

Daily and weekly challenges will reset today, as well as the standard shop refresh.

While this is a bummer, it’s understandable given that releasing this patch in its current state might break more things than it fixes. Once we know more about the patch and when it’s set to be released, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

In other OW2 news, the new tank hero, Ramattra, has been announced for a December debut, which you can read about here.
