Details[]
Mei creates a wall made of 5 pillars of ice in a line. Each pillar acts as any regular wall would. Each pillar may be destroyed prematurely if they take 400 damage, or if the Payload moves through it. The entire wall may also be destroyed by pressing the button again.
If there is not enough room for all five pillars, only the amount of pillars that can fit in the space will be created. For example, if a corridor is only wide enough to fit three pillars, only three will be created.
Attacking the Ice Wall (with the exception of melee attacks) will count as a missed shot, but will count as damage dealt. This is unknown if this intentionally is part of the ability or not.
Before casting, an area will be marked along the ground displaying where it will appear. The wall is perpendicular to Mei's line of sight by default, but pressing the button again will rotate it to be parallel. The wall can hang off of ledges as long as the center is on solid ground.
When it spawns, the wall rises from the ground, and will raise players and other objects with it.
