Does my height above the ground affect whether I get frozen by Mei's ult (Blizzard)?
After playing a few games I've noticed, mostly as Pharah, that height can affect whether you get frozen with Mei's ult.
How high do you need to be to avoid being caught in Mei's ult?
Also:
- Do I need to be above her drone that is putting out the freeze?
Does jumping affect how long it takes for you to freeze?
Does standing on a nearby object, like a table, barrel, crate, etc., affect the freeze rate?
Best Answer
It's right there in the Wiki-ish. The range is 8 meters radius. Meaning you'll ger frozen if you're in direct LOS of 8 meters or less of Snowball. Similarly Reaper has 8-meters ultimate radius as discussed here

Answer 2
I've recently learned and tested that Mei's ult is not a circle but actually a sphere. If you are directly above her ult but hovering a few feet off the ground you will freeze. If you were the same height but closed to the edge you are less likely to freeze. The visual for this isn't shown very well.
