I feel like Mei's gun does not freeze you through, but more likely saturates you with a quick freezing liquid and encases you. This would explain why you freeze so quickly and also why you can break out of it so well (not to mention how your character keeps shivering when frozen).
My conjecture is that agents of overwatch have shields that are represented as the game's health, armor and shields. I noticed that there is no gib, gore or wounds of any kind so the represented heroes health is probably the strength of their shield. Mei's blaster most likely freezes that shield rendering the hero frozen.
Maybe because of the Leidenfrost effect and all that, Mei doesn't actually completely freeze someone but instead just encases them in ice for a few seconds?
+Glenn Tang this is stated in mei's journal tbh. Only thing you guys got wrong was that the original purpose of the gun was to capture animals for study.
A thin layer of ice may not, but if she were to able to quickly add on layers of ice, in theory, it would hinder the opponent's movement enough so that she would be able to encase them.
fuck her, its bullshit how she slows you down and fucking pops an icicle while she is smiling, and when she gets attacked, she fucking makes a face that freaks out, FUCK HER
What if instead of Mei freezing the entirety of a fricking Road Hog, she simply creates a skin-tight cask of ice around the body, and thus its just a matter of wether or not the incase character is strong enough to burst open a cask made entirely of ice?
Skintel N.Keychain yeah but then that doesn't explain how they get frozen on the other side too if what you said is true only one half at the most should be frozen
This entire video is debunked when you realize that Mei is not freezing her enemies, but encasing their bodies in a layer of ice. As the layer melts, it becomes weak enough to break out of.
Also, you forgot the heat required to make the phase change into a solid. You need to add this to the energy required to change to temperature to zero.
Bumfuzzle Not for that short of time. You can get covered in ice for a few seconds and emerge just fine. Think of it like getting ice water dumped on your head. Uncomfortable and disorienting, but not fatal.
Yup, it's kind of like what happens to flowers. They can get coated in frost or ice and still be fine as the sheet of ice actually starts trapping heat inside. The reason why most people die from getting covered in ice is because they _continue_ to stay in an environment where they won't be breaking out anytime soon.
couldn't it possibly be aerogels mixed with cryogenics, surrounding somebody in a temporarily hard rigid shell that deals damage until the shell heats up and drips away? I mean the entire technology was thought up as a way to capture and study animals without permanent harm, and she initially tested it out on her own arm rather than do practical field trials. The context for the tech's creation is more important than just throwing about hard numbers, as it dictates the true nature of the tech, made from the beginning to immobilize rather than harm. There are plenty of substances that become frigid when cooled, and her gun's spray could be the result of a mechanism actively mixing the aerogel with cryogenics immediately before ejection. This also helps to explain her alt shot, as it can be a physically pressurized shot with a higher concentration of cryogenics. There is a lot more to the mechanics of Mei's gun than "spray cold stuff." Mixing of chemicals and pressurization are both important aspects to include when analyzing.
Judging by the nature of its deployment and the idea that the body isn't being frozen throughout (but rather encased in a frozen shell, explaining why enemies can break out so readily), I'd suppose that Mei is actually more likely using Supersaturated compounds. Supersaturation is a phenomena in which a liquid is brought to high temperatures and saturated to its maximum capacity with some sort of soluble substance (sugar or salt, for example). When the liquid is then cooled to its natural freezing point, the dissolved additive prevents the liquid from crystallizing into a solid... until a thorough enough stimulus such as a shockwave is able to disrupt the homogeneous distribution of chemicals in the solution, causing small crystallizations to form which then expand rapidly through the entire mixture, effectively "flash freezing". SO! With that brief explanation out of the way, it's entirely feasible that Mei is just carrying around a supersaturated mixture that is accelerated slowly to firing speed inside the gun (without rattling it enough to cause it to freeze), then allowing the accelerated mixture to spray out. Upon contact, the force exerted on the spray by interrupting its motion causes it to freeze on contact, allowing a generous application to coat the target in a thin, icy, movement-impeding shell that doesn't freeze the enemy throughout (which would just kill the target instead of allowing them to bust out with "Super Saiyan Power"). SCIENCE!
No no no, you've got it all wrong! All you need to do is create a vacuum inside a chamber which is then pumped full of Hydrogen that is then propelled through extremely high PSI through a nozzle with multiple holes barely larger then the hydrogen atoms. Because of the pressure difference between the two zones, the hydrogen is cooled to nearly subzero temperatures, which is then expelled by the pressure in the vacuum chamber in a spray that hits the enemy and crystallizes on impact. Think about how when you breath out with your mouth wide open, the air is hot, but purse your lips like you're whistling, and the air expelled is cooler then the surrounding air. It's how Superman's frost breath works; you just need enough pressure to push the atoms through the opening into the higher pressure zone.
SonOfMyths73 Subzero temperatures wouldn't be enough to freeze a human body that quickly, and in the event that it did the effect would not be temporary like what we see in gameplay. What we are all getting at is that there is more variables at play than just temperature. Also, the icicle shot wouldn't work with that method.
Also this explains why she has 2 different canisters on the gun. When you reload there is the cell on the side and the ball holding what I assume is either the aerogel or the cryogenic liquid. You may say that thats just how it reloads that ball but then why does it stay there after the reload, has a capacity display thing that goes down the same speed as the ball and doesn't appear to refill the ball during use.
The Theory of Hanzo's dragons... Magic. It's magic. There's no realistic way to create two burning red/blue dragons from an arrow without a supernatural force. In the short animated movie "Brothers" we see that when he fires his Dragon Arrow his fancy arm tattoo lights up.
maby it is her robot that captures hydrogen from the air freezes it and pulverises and sends it to meis gun then it does the same thing during her ult but at a much higher rate than normal
The video would be 10 minutes longer from trying to explain how she would freeze the hydrogen because it is the coldest thing (praticaly) but nice theory
I know this comment is old but the theory behind this video has been debunked-- it's actually not just water alone, but a mixture of water and an in-game substance called hard light. It encases the enemy briefly, just covering them in ice, not freezing them all the way. that's why people are still fine after it breaks and why Mei uses the gun as a peaceful way to capture wildlife in the arctic for studying.
Yeah that bothered me...especially since it makes Mei that much...colder. Ugh. That she freezes someone in place and while they're still conscious and watching, looks at them, winds up a big sharp icicle, and buries it in their skull.
Samta Klaus Aka Tech-Magic. When something is so vaguely explained as 'Cuz nanobots' its just magic under a thin veil. And I'm ok with this. Like how Genji can reflect light balls and fire.
Nah they are different shows that are similar but have different goals. A great example is their Mirrors Edge episodes. They both covered the game but different aspects of it. Plus both of them are amazing
"a discount version of game theory" funny. This is MUCH better from a scientific standpoint. Also, Game Theory focuses more on lore and concepts behind games and bullshit interpretations of random shit.
I think Mercy is the scariest one of all... I mean SHE REANIMATES CORPSES! I think I will create my head-canon where all the levels in the game are in fact arenas in Mercy's secret lab build for her satisfaction - her idea of fun is to force the other already dead characters, she reanimated, to fight non-ending battles against each other. While joining in on the fun as she is immortal or something. #MercyIsEvil
tracer doesn't reload her clip, she simply rewinds the bullets she shot out, meaning those bullets have a shit ton of blood and possibly passing around AIDs
+TheAkatsukitobi I don't think she fires bullets out of her PLASMA pistols but let's say she does. If those bullets had no blood on them before they were fired they would not have any on them after being rewound since it would reset them back to their pre fire stage.
Time is often portrayed as a river, but it is closer to a delta. Each choice creating splits, it branches outward in a infinite number of possibilities. However, while space and time often intersect, even being described as a fabric, not everything fits in this weave. Tracer is stuck outside of normal time, and is connected to us by the big shiny thing she puts on her chest-plate. Think of it as a splinter breaks off of a board, and nailing it back roughly into place. I'm not exactly sure how such a device would work, nobody is, but that gives a lot of flexibility for how she flows through time. Her rewind ability is likely a combination of the shiny thing with cybernetics, and it gets complicated. If you play with two tracers in the same team, you can see how they talk to each other unlike other characters. This means that multiple tracers exist and have entered the same timeline with the shiny thing malfunctions. This is key. The rewind ability works by exploiting this trait, by bring the past tracer (15 seconds ago) to the present and giving her the memories of the previous tracer, and removing the later from the timeline. AFAIK. I could be dead wrong, blizzard may retcon this.
yep the talking to each other really surprised me the first time I heard it, great attention to detail from Blizz almost as if overwatch was supposed to be a much bigger game :)
... So mei is evil for using an ice gun to freeze people. Wouldn't that make lucio evil for using a gun that probably makes people go deaf, or other Heros using actual BULLETS? I feel like freezing them is actually an act of mercy.
Wizardporn2008 well, WHEN you are frozen you don't feel anything. But the process of getting frozen probably hurts a lot more than getting shot by a bullet.
You made this video based of a MASSIVE jump in logic, you assume their being frozen solid. Their being frozen to the point in immobilization, not to the point of being frozen solid.
That's true, my personal theory is that the cold condenses water in the air and then freezes that. It then melts allowing the target to move again. That explains why you can freeze Reinhardt's shield despite it being made of energy.
+Mike Troxel She is spraying a Freezing agent...aka the Cryofluid. Its more possible that the cryofluid is what freezing Not them and it would explain Its very short lifespan and how they can breakout slightly unharmed.
"You made this video based of a MASSIVE jump in logic, you assume their" They're. "being frozen solid. Their" They're. "being frozen to the point in immobilization, not to the point of being frozen solid."
I... think it proves you were using the wrong version of "their"? I'm also not sure what argument I lost... I didn't really make much of an argument, just a vague implication that your grammar wasn't correct and, gosh, I think I won that one. Well done for the correct version of "your" there, by the way. So many people mess that up!
Hey Austin did you take into account the effect of the evaporative cooling when you got your numbers? The liquid hydrogen evaporating off would obviously require a lot of energy given the phase change. Just a thought.
Considering the technology tracer uses, I assume Mei's gun uses a packet dimension to house all of her hydrogen, or uses a wormhole to transport it from a super refrigerator into her gun.
Overwatch's doctors and scientists were stumped, and Tracer's case seemed hopeless *until a scientist named Winston designed the chronal accelerator, a device capable of keeping Tracer anchored in the present. In addition, it gave Tracer the ability to control her own time, allowing her to speed it up and slow it down at will.* With her newfound skills, she became one of Overwatch's most effective agents.[6] At some point she was stationed at Watchpoint: Gibraltar. -Overwatch wiki
Dear Shoddycast, I've notice you said Roadhog is 360 lbs but in reality (or gamelity?) he is 550 lbs thus your calculations would be off. Have a good one!
Yes the air would also be turned solid because it is made of mostly oxygen and nitrogen both of which have a higher freezing/melting and condensation/evaporation point thus freezing the air around her. Jeez Mei could be trying to stop global warming (that is what she was researching) but she has basically made a ray of pure DEATH! Anyone want a Earth-sicle, because Mei is slowly making one. Yep she may be overpowered now but if it was realistic everyone in a foot radius would be frozen solid (and dead)
You are right. She cannot hold 1/2 of a ton. But then you realize when she reloads, she opens a valve to such moisture from the air. Also, she does not freeze her enemies, she showers them with water and freezes it hence the spray.
What iff meis gun actually freezes a layer of ice around a person, like, shes spraying the freezing substance to freeze the air moisture onto her target
+TheAkatsukitobi enhanced muscle fibers, some sort of super strong chain, and a giant belly as a counterweight so he doesn't get pulled forward. That's what I can think of atm
There could be other ways Mei' s gun works. She could be converting the air (or water vapor) around her into water (whch is possible) and then after cool it down. This could explain why she needs to reload her gun and why the ice isn't cold enough to kill. I don't have a overmatched game and my science and math skills aren't the best, so I'm just spitting out an idea.
Why would you make the assumption that the cryogun freezes people 100% solid, so no liquid is left in their body? Wouldn't it make a lot more sense if it chills them quite a bit and freezes just their exterior? These videos are very nice, but these weird assumptions you make - like the delivery of sound over a full 1 second or the Fallout plasma gun melting foes in one hit - is why you keep getting ridiculous results, and for someone with some science education it's starting to be grating. I don't know how much of a criticism this is regarding a general audience - just my own take on it.
+Polymeron It seems more like Mei's cryogun Encases the enemy in "ICE" not that she is compeltly freezing the enemy. Cause How could she freeze Bastion otherwise.
Blue★ That's what I'm saying. But for some reason the calculation in this video assumes that every last gram of the enemy is turned down to -1 Celsius.
looking at the new mei cinematic i think mei's ammo works like freezing rain, which is when water turnns into ice when it meets ground, but now it's on the enemies' bodies. When the water meets the body it freezes around them which is why they don't die and why thy still act cold when mei's spraying them down.
Dr. Freeze. DR. FREEZE!?! Be prepared, Austin, for a flood of nerd hate is about to raze you and you entire world to the ground. I would suggest running before someone overreacts.

You know, nanobots could be WAY OVERPOWERED if used correctly. For instance, they can infuse in your muscle tissue, and reprogram your muscle memory to have any skill you could imagine (Parkour and Jujitsu sound like a good combo) as well as replace the twitch and flex strands to give you superhuman speed, strenght, and flexability; They can copy DNA data and rebuild missing limbs from scratch, and while we're at it, even build entirely new objects, say, a gun (You'd still need bullets, unless the nanobots can also generate explosive charges equal to gunpowder, but that creates a host of other problems, namely the possibility of self destruction) and store neurological data, being able to restart your BRAIN if there was a problem. Then, nanobots could also replace nutrients the body needs to function, and because they aren't organic, they don't break down, so you don't need to eat or breath again; although, let's go out on a limb and give these nanobots the ability to break down the core components of ingested foods and use them to make MORE NANOBOTS.
Reinhardt is strong because of all the Currywurst he eats every day. Considering, that Currywurst is his most beloved meal (like for Winston and other normal gorrillas it's a banana) it might just have enough vitamins to let him carry this huge fuck-ass armor. And for the shield: He's possible to activate it, because of all the "Ketchup + Curry powder"-Sauce he has eaten with all the Currywurst (obviously). The Sauce in his body transforms into a blue mass of an (for normal people unknown) material, which then gets pumped into his arm device, which then finally activates the shield by let the blue mass aka "energy shield" out. The form of the shield is because of the good old "Transmitter and receiver"-part. The arm device acts like the transmitter, sending off the "saucenergy" to four receivers, one for each corner of the energy field aka the shield. So that's that. And now get ready to move. Let us prove ourselves in GLORIOUS combat!
I honestly started playing overwatch on my Xbox because of this video and I just today I got my tank to gold I been playing for a while but thanks for doing this theory
The science is neat and all, very informative, but it makes no sense for her gun to freeze people solid the way you're describing. A better, more realistic approach would be to have something like Liquid Nitrogen thrown amidst a stream of water. Water coats victim, nitrogen freezes water and BAM, you got a light coating of ice growing bigger and eventually stopping movement. It would also explain why her targets are able to break free after a little while without too much damage, since the already thin coat of ice would heat up pretty quickly and be fairly easy to break.
Actually, I'd say that Mei has a chemical in her blaster that freezes upon contact with air, with its volume upon doing so much higher than it is as a liquid - like water on steroids. Even though yes, Mei is Antarctica-themed, and she shoots ice, there's nothing that can prove that the ice is... well... cold. As far as I know. Thus, Mei's blaster can create ice walls by dint of its massive volume expansion, and it kills not by cooling the body down, but by freezing outwards into the body and causing multiple lacerations and traumatic damage as it holds the body in place via an encasing crust of room-temperature frozen knives - I would be tempted to assume that Mei has absolutely no sense of morality when she uses her gun on people.
Don't worry about him. He probably doesn't even know how to use her ice wall correctly. Us Mei-lovers are in a leauge of our own! We're all a-Mei-zing!
>Mei Is Said To Only Have The Capabilities Of That Gun If An Invisible Firetruck Is Behind Her >Mei Is The Only Character With Firefighter Skins Coincidence?
better then the mess that's fallout 4 tell me how much money you spend on a barely working product let alone paying for something modders can make in seconds for 10 fucking dollar
smaller a singularity the greater the energy, a portable black hole would almost instantly suck the world in it and possibly create a super Nova, I think.
+No. No.. That's just so wrong.. A black hole isn't stronger if it's smaller, it's actually quite the opposite. The smallest black holes in the universe are the size of an atom but with the mass of an asteroid, they are weak as shit compared to supermassive black holes. Gravitational pull is directly affected by the mass of an object and a black hole with the mass of an asteroid would have the same gravitational pull as an asteroid. If the sun disappeared and a black hole with the same mass took its place nothing would happen to Earths orbit. All that would happen would be Earth freezing to a gigantic block of ice due to no heat from the sun. But we wouldn't be sucked into the black hole.. The size of that black hole would be pretty small, like somewhere in the range of 5-10km in diameter, compared to the diameter of the sun which is 1391400 km In the middle of galaxies are supermassive black holes, our galaxy has a black hole the size of the sun but with the mass of about 4 million suns. This black hole is called Sagittarius A and our solar system is orbiting around it. A supernova is an exploding star and black holes are created from supernovas of really big stars. The black hole itself will not create a supernova. A black hole isn't some magical sucking machine that sucks everything into it magically.. It's just a really really dense object with a really high gravitational pull, mostly. Most black holes are around 15-20 times the mass of the sun but they are like 100000 times smaller in size. But as I said earlier, there are small black holes with very low mass in comparison and thus they have very weak gravitational pull. There are theories that say dark matter is made up by atom sized black holes.
I always assumed mei's gun shot like a liquid substance that freezed rapidly so the people weren't frozen solid but were just coted so they couldn't move than the substance melted allowing them to move. so when mei constantly shot u with the liquid substance their body temp lowered and that's y they die
I think -1 would push it over the edge and 0 would just maintain ice... could be wrong don't quote me but I'm pretty sure the changing of matter states takes a fair bit of extra energy, either being taxed or pushed in, watch some of thunderf00ts recent debunking of things to take water out of the air with condensation
0 degree Celsius is both the freezing point of water and the melting point of ice so, -1 is just to make it freeze instead of making it very cold water.
Another pretty good example of heat transfer is if you put down an ice cube and put a piece of silver on it for a bit and then take it off the ice cube will have the shape of the silver object melted into it and the silver will be cold to the touch this is because silver is really good at transferring heat.
I always assumed with character that do "instafreeze, instathaw" what was actually happening was they were freezing the air around the person, and the reason the person was okay afterwards is because they were never touched directly by the ice, but instead trapped in a tiny room made of the air around them frozen solid.
Hypothesis: mei is not freezing the internals, rather she is coating them in a layer of ice thick enough to hold them for a short time. This explains how they can "thaw" without being automatically hypothermic, it also explains the shattering sound when they smash their way out. The warm air would also help thaw that coating within a few moments. Perhaps it is hypercooled alcohol or nitrogen in the gun, sprayed with water to create a frosty icing.
@ShoddyCast probably when you've made the vid, it wasn't clear at all, but since the cinematic about meis origin is out, her weapon doesn't freeze the object it hits, it freezes the liquid itself where it hits. I dont know if this changes something, but maybe it is more possible.
Ok so in 3 years people notice him say warcarck, but didn't notice him say "Dr.freeze when listing Ice character's at the beginning of the video? That's just perfect (1:38)
It might be some kind of skin tight suspension feild that looks like "cold" but once the resonating energy disapates the field stops(with holding the field causing suffocation)
Did you ever think that the little robot on her back is collecting the hydrogen and then stores it in the backpack. When the backpack reaches close to empty it refills it self and the cycle continues on.
So my cousin had this chemistry teacher who worked with the home ec teacher to make pizzas for his class. The pizzas were hot and the teacher demonstrated specific heat by having the students eat the pizza the right way up and having the cheese burn the roof of their mouth and then eating the pizza upside down and having the cheese burn their tongue. Man, I wish I went to that school. They did this class out of the science block because you can't eat in there, they got to eat the pizza through class.
Another point to mention is that at cryogenic temperatures, liquid hydrogen becomes a superfluid - i.e., a liquid with zero viscosity. Zero-viscosity fluids flow out of any hole, no matter how small, so Mei's gun would just leak her ammo everywhere
This also forgets to account for the Heat of Fusion which is the energy required to induce a phase change. This is why you can get a bottle of water in the freezer and it doesn’t freeze until you disturb it and it freezes instantly. In reality the freezing of that water would take even more energy to change it from 0° water to -1° ice.
Easiest explanation: enemies aren't actually frozen solid, instead they are rapidly covered with ice from the cooling moisture in the atmosphere, like your facial hair being coated with ice from your breath while mountain climbing, or snow sticking to your coat while skiing. It builds up thick enough to halt movement, until the target can get enough of a break from the extremely low temperatures for their own body heat to melt the layer of ice, and break it apart with movement. TL;DR, people get coated with ice, it makes them stiff, their body temp melts the ice.
I feel like Mei's gun does not freeze you through, but more likely saturates you with a quick freezing liquid and encases you. This would explain why you freeze so quickly and also why you can break out of it so well (not to mention how your character keeps shivering when frozen).

+Zelm Moriya yes but it still freezes them immobile. Which is pretty fucking deadly, if you didn't notice. Even with short exposure.

This entire video is debunked when you realize that Mei is not freezing her enemies, but encasing their bodies in a layer of ice. As the layer melts, it becomes weak enough to break out of.
Also, you forgot the heat required to make the phase change into a solid. You need to add this to the energy required to change to temperature to zero.
Wouldn't they stil die because of this? There wouldn't be much "breaking out off" if they're dead?

No no no, you've got it all wrong!
All you need to do is create a vacuum inside a chamber which is then pumped full of Hydrogen that is then propelled through extremely high PSI through a nozzle with multiple holes barely larger then the hydrogen atoms. Because of the pressure difference between the two zones, the hydrogen is cooled to nearly subzero temperatures, which is then expelled by the pressure in the vacuum chamber in a spray that hits the enemy and crystallizes on impact. Think about how when you breath out with your mouth wide open, the air is hot, but purse your lips like you're whistling, and the air expelled is cooler then the surrounding air. It's how Superman's frost breath works; you just need enough pressure to push the atoms through the opening into the higher pressure zone.
SonOfMyths73 Subzero temperatures wouldn't be enough to freeze a human body that quickly, and in the event that it did the effect would not be temporary like what we see in gameplay. What we are all getting at is that there is more variables at play than just temperature. Also, the icicle shot wouldn't work with that method.
Also this explains why she has 2 different canisters on the gun. When you reload there is the cell on the side and the ball holding what I assume is either the aerogel or the cryogenic liquid.
You may say that thats just how it reloads that ball but then why does it stay there after the reload, has a capacity display thing that goes down the same speed as the ball and doesn't appear to refill the ball during use.
You didnt even go over her Ice Wall or Ice Block or Blizzard. Also, can go over the science of Hanzo's Dragons?
The dragon is pure fucking MAGIC! There you go, science can't explain magic so that is the best answer.
+PronetoDeath Games DO YOU BELEIVE IN MAGIC

The Theory of Hanzo's dragons...
Magic. It's magic. There's no realistic way to create two burning red/blue dragons from an arrow without a supernatural force.
In the short animated movie "Brothers" we see that when he fires his Dragon Arrow his fancy arm tattoo lights up.
+Dr Ukato You mean 'Dragons.'
maby it is her robot that captures hydrogen from the air freezes it and pulverises and sends it to meis gun then it does the same thing during her ult but at a much higher rate than normal
Nice
British / sweedish gamer His name. Is. SNOWBALL! 😡
That’s actually a very good explainiatuon
The video would be 10 minutes longer from trying to explain how she would freeze the hydrogen because it is the coldest thing (praticaly) but nice theory
I know this comment is old but the theory behind this video has been debunked-- it's actually not just water alone, but a mixture of water and an in-game substance called hard light. It encases the enemy briefly, just covering them in ice, not freezing them all the way. that's why people are still fine after it breaks and why Mei uses the gun as a peaceful way to capture wildlife in the arctic for studying.
But...FUTURE SCIENCE :D
HAI HAMMEH!!!
+Ember Shine Hi! :D
Sah dude
HAMMEEEEH
I always thought she shot the combination of water and the cryo fluid, not very researched but that explains the ice spike she can shoot
When you were playing Mei in this video, you have an icicle on right click, easier to kill after the enemy is frozen.
also, next week play Overwatch
YES! THAT WAS BOTHERING ME SO MUCH. He does click it once on a reaper towards the end but that's it
navels ♥ probably just discovered it by then!
Yeah that bothered me...especially since it makes Mei that much...colder. Ugh. That she freezes someone in place and while they're still conscious and watching, looks at them, winds up a big sharp icicle, and buries it in their skull.
It's worth noting that you should always go for a headshot with this on frozen players
I always thought Mei's gun was just coating the target in a rapidly freezing liquid that freezes around them, trapping them inside an ice-shell...
When the music begins, you know Austin’s about to go crazy
Do you know what the title is? It’s not the one in the description
This video is a-mei-zing
lol
No
+Micah Noa I agree but only because those puns are mei job. That was a n-ice pun wasn't it?
I would agree if you came up with it, but it's actually one of Mei's own puns; find your own god damn puns xD
+Frozen Lotus I don't actually play overwatch so it was
Or just magic. 90% sure that is a thing in Overwatch. Considering Zenyatta's flying and ball magic, and Mercy's resurrection.
and hanzo's tattoo dragons
And Bu-TRACER
But Racer?
The only explainable one is Mercy's revival since it her staff uses nanotechnology to "restart' the body of her fellow heroes as far as I know.
Samta Klaus Aka Tech-Magic. When something is so vaguely explained as 'Cuz nanobots' its just magic under a thin veil. And I'm ok with this.
Like how Genji can reflect light balls and fire.
1:47 did he say world of warcrack?😂
Yep
Did he fucking stutter?
3:25 it ofcourse, could be that mei freezes the water particels in the air around them making a layer of ice surrounding their body.
Makes sense
So you are like a better version of Game Theory that covers games that came out this decade?
Pretty much.
Nah they are different shows that are similar but have different goals. A great example is their Mirrors Edge episodes. They both covered the game but different aspects of it.
Plus both of them are amazing
He's not doing RUclips Red. And this is actually a game.
a discount version of game theory
"a discount version of game theory" funny. This is MUCH better from a scientific standpoint.
Also, Game Theory focuses more on lore and concepts behind games and bullshit interpretations of random shit.
Wait hold on a sec, why did we sacrifice a goat?
why not?
Are you telling me I have been doing maths wrong so far? God dammit.
No wonder i keep getting low scores in maths, i havent sacrificed enough!
Top Goat
It was for comedic effect.
I think Mercy is the scariest one of all... I mean SHE REANIMATES CORPSES! I think I will create my head-canon where all the levels in the game are in fact arenas in Mercy's secret lab build for her satisfaction - her idea of fun is to force the other already dead characters, she reanimated, to fight non-ending battles against each other. While joining in on the fun as she is immortal or something. #MercyIsEvil
"Heros never die...for a price" - Devil Mercy 2016
ever watched the medic's secret from arrayseven
She's not resurrecting the dead. Ever notice the skulls with timers over your bodies? She's pulling them back from the edge of death.
tracer doesn't reload her clip, she simply rewinds the bullets she shot out, meaning those bullets have a shit ton of blood and possibly passing around AIDs
+TheAkatsukitobi I don't think she fires bullets out of her PLASMA pistols but let's say she does. If those bullets had no blood on them before they were fired they would not have any on them after being rewound since it would reset them back to their pre fire stage.
what if instead of freezing the opposition solid Mei just coated the outside of their body with ice rendering them imoble but still very much alive?
Knirrax how does junkrats hair stay smoking
Sam Levy asking the real questions here
Well, that was fun. Now explain how Tracer can rewind time for herself. I can't wait to see how Austin figures that one out.
That is already explained in her backstory
I don't want backstory, I want SCIENCE!
I'm not sure if that's something you can science
Time is often portrayed as a river, but it is closer to a delta. Each choice creating splits, it branches outward in a infinite number of possibilities. However, while space and time often intersect, even being described as a fabric, not everything fits in this weave. Tracer is stuck outside of normal time, and is connected to us by the big shiny thing she puts on her chest-plate. Think of it as a splinter breaks off of a board, and nailing it back roughly into place. I'm not exactly sure how such a device would work, nobody is, but that gives a lot of flexibility for how she flows through time. Her rewind ability is likely a combination of the shiny thing with cybernetics, and it gets complicated. If you play with two tracers in the same team, you can see how they talk to each other unlike other characters. This means that multiple tracers exist and have entered the same timeline with the shiny thing malfunctions. This is key. The rewind ability works by exploiting this trait, by bring the past tracer (15 seconds ago) to the present and giving her the memories of the previous tracer, and removing the later from the timeline. AFAIK. I could be dead wrong, blizzard may retcon this.
yep the talking to each other really surprised me the first time I heard it, great attention to detail from Blizz almost as if overwatch was supposed to be a much bigger game :)
... So mei is evil for using an ice gun to freeze people. Wouldn't that make lucio evil for using a gun that probably makes people go deaf, or other Heros using actual BULLETS? I feel like freezing them is actually an act of mercy.
Wizardporn2008 Until they see your cold eyes before an icicle pearces their skull. But just freezing yeah.
RyanB006 You can't see people when you're frozen, also you can't feel pain.
Wizardporn2008 I meant in game but IRL yeah
Wizardporn2008 well, WHEN you are frozen you don't feel anything. But the process of getting frozen probably hurts a lot more than getting shot by a bullet.
+AwesomePineapple not if its like 2 seconds, you'll basically go numb instantly, freezing over a long period of time is a different story.

*Addiction Jokers*
Yes.
Always has been.
You made this video based of a MASSIVE jump in logic, you assume their being frozen solid. Their being frozen to the point in immobilization, not to the point of being frozen solid.
That's true, my personal theory is that the cold condenses water in the air and then freezes that. It then melts allowing the target to move again. That explains why you can freeze Reinhardt's shield despite it being made of energy.
+Mike Troxel She is spraying a Freezing agent...aka the Cryofluid. Its more possible that the cryofluid is what freezing Not them and it would explain Its very short lifespan and how they can breakout slightly unharmed.
i guess that would make more sense than water vapor
"You made this video based of a MASSIVE jump in logic, you assume their"
They're.
"being frozen solid. Their"
They're.
"being frozen to the point in immobilization, not to the point of being frozen solid."
I... think it proves you were using the wrong version of "their"? I'm also not sure what argument I lost... I didn't really make much of an argument, just a vague implication that your grammar wasn't correct and, gosh, I think I won that one.
Well done for the correct version of "your" there, by the way. So many people mess that up!
Hey Austin did you take into account the effect of the evaporative cooling when you got your numbers? The liquid hydrogen evaporating off would obviously require a lot of energy given the phase change. Just a thought.
Considering the technology tracer uses, I assume Mei's gun uses a packet dimension to house all of her hydrogen, or uses a wormhole to transport it from a super refrigerator into her gun.
*pocket dimension*
Idk if Mei deals with that type of technology because it was Winston that made that chestpiece for Tracer.
way to go buddy, the next we ever gonna hear is that Winston creates Doraemon and the anywhere door
Overwatch's doctors and scientists were stumped, and Tracer's case seemed hopeless *until a scientist named Winston designed the chronal accelerator, a device capable of keeping Tracer anchored in the present. In addition, it gave Tracer the ability to control her own time, allowing her to speed it up and slow it down at will.* With her newfound skills, she became one of Overwatch's most effective agents.[6] At some point she was stationed at Watchpoint: Gibraltar.
-Overwatch wiki
he does :|
What I find more amazing is that she doesn't overheat in that Arctic parka over the strenuous course of a round.
Winter is coming.
RIGHT CLICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Shoddycast, I've notice you said Roadhog is 360 lbs but in reality (or gamelity?) he is 550 lbs thus your calculations would be off. Have a good one!
He is also 7.3 ft tall
He has 5,280 oz of water, 1306.8 oz organs, 1320 oz of fat, and lastly 893.2 oz of skeleton. Correct me if I'm wrong. :-)
also the air temperature would be competing with the stuff she is shooting out.
Yes the air would also be turned solid because it is made of mostly oxygen and nitrogen both of which have a higher freezing/melting and condensation/evaporation point thus freezing the air around her. Jeez Mei could be trying to stop global warming (that is what she was researching) but she has basically made a ray of pure DEATH! Anyone want a Earth-sicle, because Mei is slowly making one. Yep she may be overpowered now but if it was realistic everyone in a foot radius would be frozen solid (and dead)
Gavin Hersom which is why I think its just the gel freezing around the person til they are forced to break out of it.
You are right. She cannot hold 1/2 of a ton. But then you realize when she reloads, she opens a valve to such moisture from the air. Also, she does not freeze her enemies, she showers them with water and freezes it hence the spray.
Dont mind me. Just catching up on my thermodynamics before finals :P
Ap chems fun
What iff meis gun actually freezes a layer of ice around a person, like, shes spraying the freezing substance to freeze the air moisture onto her target
According to the wiki, Roadhog is actually 250kg, or approximately 550 lbs. That pretty much just makes this worse.
Crap, I couldn't find his weight anywhere. Oh well. Hahaha, yes it does.
Roadhog can hook and pull fucking heavy mech with little to no trouble, I'd like him to explain that

Derpy Dude He clearly pulls it and even in art it shows him pulling the chain with one hand.

SQUID LORD
Woah! I was watching the video too! What else did he say that everyone else heard? /s^10
maybe she compact the nitrogen liquid until she only needed to use just a small gun/sprayer....she's a genuis right...?
There could be other ways Mei' s gun works. She could be converting the air (or water vapor) around her into water (whch is possible) and then after cool it down. This could explain why she needs to reload her gun and why the ice isn't cold enough to kill. I don't have a overmatched game and my science and math skills aren't the best, so I'm just spitting out an idea.
Did any one else here world of war crack around 5:20
Not 5:20
i did
Yeah XD I just went into the comments to see if anyone else noticed that
Exactly! World of war crack... I want to photoshop that now... Some actual crack humor...
+Roxas the fought of that is cracking me up
Why would you make the assumption that the cryogun freezes people 100% solid, so no liquid is left in their body? Wouldn't it make a lot more sense if it chills them quite a bit and freezes just their exterior?
These videos are very nice, but these weird assumptions you make - like the delivery of sound over a full 1 second or the Fallout plasma gun melting foes in one hit - is why you keep getting ridiculous results, and for someone with some science education it's starting to be grating. I don't know how much of a criticism this is regarding a general audience - just my own take on it.
I'm wondering if you think it's possible to make a video on video game science that's free of assumptions.
*****
Yes, but they don't have to be ridiculous assumptions. They can be reasonable assumptions.
+Polymeron It seems more like Mei's cryogun Encases the enemy in "ICE" not that she is compeltly freezing the enemy. Cause How could she freeze Bastion otherwise.
Blue★
That's what I'm saying. But for some reason the calculation in this video assumes that every last gram of the enemy is turned down to -1 Celsius.
@polymeron I totaly agree
looking at the new mei cinematic i think mei's ammo works like freezing rain, which is when water turnns into ice when it meets ground, but now it's on the enemies' bodies. When the water meets the body it freezes around them which is why they don't die and why thy still act cold when mei's spraying them down.
1:20 This is why I like Mei
Dr. Freeze. DR. FREEZE!?!
Be prepared, Austin, for a flood of nerd hate is about to raze you and you entire world to the ground. I would suggest running before someone overreacts.
Although he does have a Ph.D., his super villain name is just Mr. Freeze. Still, just in case some overreacting nerds do not see the next scene, I would run.
His name though is Dr. Victor Fries, so it still works?
He is a doctor though.
At least he didn't say Captain Cold
If you looked he briefly had a subtitle saying he knows it's Mr. Freeze he just forgot in the video
Do Mercy and how she can revive fallen enemies without losing all of their brain cells
Her healing and resurrection is because of nanotech
+Excalibur Prime
NANOMACHINES, SON
Dullahan2 It had to be done
You know, nanobots could be WAY OVERPOWERED if used correctly. For instance, they can infuse in your muscle tissue, and reprogram your muscle memory to have any skill you could imagine (Parkour and Jujitsu sound like a good combo) as well as replace the twitch and flex strands to give you superhuman speed, strenght, and flexability; They can copy DNA data and rebuild missing limbs from scratch, and while we're at it, even build entirely new objects, say, a gun (You'd still need bullets, unless the nanobots can also generate explosive charges equal to gunpowder, but that creates a host of other problems, namely the possibility of self destruction) and store neurological data, being able to restart your BRAIN if there was a problem. Then, nanobots could also replace nutrients the body needs to function, and because they aren't organic, they don't break down, so you don't need to eat or breath again; although, let's go out on a limb and give these nanobots the ability to break down the core components of ingested foods and use them to make MORE NANOBOTS.
Because it is a video game
how strong is reinhartd and whats his sheild made of?
+Cryosardonic Duh
It's made of precision German engineering and manliness
Hasselhoffium, obviously
Reinhardt is strong because of all the Currywurst he eats every day.
Considering, that Currywurst is his most beloved meal (like for Winston and other normal gorrillas it's a banana) it might just have enough vitamins to let him carry this huge fuck-ass armor.
And for the shield: He's possible to activate it, because of all the "Ketchup + Curry powder"-Sauce he has eaten with all the Currywurst (obviously). The Sauce in his body transforms into a blue mass of an (for normal people unknown) material, which then gets pumped into his arm device, which then finally activates the shield by let the blue mass aka "energy shield" out. The form of the shield is because of the good old "Transmitter and receiver"-part.
The arm device acts like the transmitter, sending off the "saucenergy" to four receivers, one for each corner of the energy field aka the shield.
So that's that. And now get ready to move. Let us prove ourselves in GLORIOUS combat!
Umm, I hate to break this to you, but he makes that shield with Faith, because he's a Palladin.
I love how you trick us into learning science by combining the lessons with things we actually care about!😀
Like a mature version of MatPat.
He didn't even talk about the alternate fire or her ult...
or her skills. which make the least sense.
Thats because he was talking about her gun
Bert The Derp Yeah but her gun shoots out icicles too
I doubt the icicles to be as creepy as the blast thingy. At the very least it's more conventional.
It's not a bloody character guide is it.
Do a science video on hanzo hit box
I too love seeing arrows not actually in my character's corpse on the floor, but rather floating in the air next to it.
the arrows hitbox is so big it can headshot around corners. im serious
I honestly started playing overwatch on my Xbox because of this video and I just today I got my tank to gold I been playing for a while but thanks for doing this theory
The science is neat and all, very informative, but it makes no sense for her gun to freeze people solid the way you're describing.
A better, more realistic approach would be to have something like Liquid Nitrogen thrown amidst a stream of water. Water coats victim, nitrogen freezes water and BAM, you got a light coating of ice growing bigger and eventually stopping movement. It would also explain why her targets are able to break free after a little while without too much damage, since the already thin coat of ice would heat up pretty quickly and be fairly easy to break.
Thats what a lot of people are saying.
Did u really say "World of Warcrack" ^^?
Sounds like he did. The important question is whether he *meant* to call it that, or if it just slipped out. ;)
Eitherway, i can understand him ^^
I´am an addict since 11 years now, WoW i mean :)
Kay, thanks :) never watch with subtitles but now i know my ears still work fine :D
The captions said it.
Either Austin took some crack, or Blizzard made the game stimulate crack.
An a-mei-zing Theory:
Actually, I'd say that Mei has a chemical in her blaster that freezes upon contact with air, with its volume upon doing so much higher than it is as a liquid - like water on steroids. Even though yes, Mei is Antarctica-themed, and she shoots ice, there's nothing that can prove that the ice is... well... cold. As far as I know.
Thus, Mei's blaster can create ice walls by dint of its massive volume expansion, and it kills not by cooling the body down, but by freezing outwards into the body and causing multiple lacerations and traumatic damage as it holds the body in place via an encasing crust of room-temperature frozen knives -
I would be tempted to assume that Mei has absolutely no sense of morality when she uses her gun on people.
Dude your playing mei wrong, freeze then shoot icycle to the face. #MeiisBea
Oh cute mei.
Freezes you solid....then look at her innocent stance and soft smirk as she fires a giant icicle into your face.
You forgot the "hi" you're supposed to do before that
Don't worry about him. He probably doesn't even know how to use her ice wall correctly. Us Mei-lovers are in a leauge of our own! We're all a-Mei-zing!
+Crimson Ichor wow, whenever people play Mei like you its Mei-kes me want to kill myself
+Grantastic sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry..
So who would win? Science Mei or Science Lucio?
Combinemon Lucio cause he can do it at range
Combinemon Mei, she would be able to cryogenically freeze herself safely (with enough ice around her) while Lucio blows himself up
PenutButterCat21 right, because a nuke is stopped by a little block of ice
It's almost impossible to hit lucios projectiles at the Mei icicle range
''Ruin her for everyone else'' ? hmm. well thats already been done by every mei main

I am the why the fuck you going off topic god, here to say why the fuck you going off topic?
Mei is already hated from not only her enemies, but from her allies.
Ummm Zaria black holes?
explanation? From Russia.
Because Russia
smaller a singularity the greater the energy, a portable black hole would almost instantly suck the world in it and possibly create a super Nova, I think.
+No. pull
+No.
No.. That's just so wrong.. A black hole isn't stronger if it's smaller, it's actually quite the opposite.
The smallest black holes in the universe are the size of an atom but with the mass of an asteroid, they are weak as shit compared to supermassive black holes. Gravitational pull is directly affected by the mass of an object and a black hole with the mass of an asteroid would have the same gravitational pull as an asteroid.
If the sun disappeared and a black hole with the same mass took its place nothing would happen to Earths orbit. All that would happen would be Earth freezing to a gigantic block of ice due to no heat from the sun. But we wouldn't be sucked into the black hole.. The size of that black hole would be pretty small, like somewhere in the range of 5-10km in diameter, compared to the diameter of the sun which is 1391400 km
In the middle of galaxies are supermassive black holes, our galaxy has a black hole the size of the sun but with the mass of about 4 million suns. This black hole is called Sagittarius A and our solar system is orbiting around it.
A supernova is an exploding star and black holes are created from supernovas of really big stars. The black hole itself will not create a supernova.
A black hole isn't some magical sucking machine that sucks everything into it magically.. It's just a really really dense object with a really high gravitational pull, mostly. Most black holes are around 15-20 times the mass of the sun but they are like 100000 times smaller in size. But as I said earlier, there are small black holes with very low mass in comparison and thus they have very weak gravitational pull. There are theories that say dark matter is made up by atom sized black holes.
I always assumed mei's gun shot like a liquid substance that freezed rapidly so the people weren't frozen solid but were just coted so they couldn't move than the substance melted allowing them to move. so when mei constantly shot u with the liquid substance their body temp lowered and that's y they die
I'm sorry but whoever provided that game play....
Sigh*
Practice makes perfect
Mr. freeze, not Dr. Freeze.
Wait. The temperature at which water turns solid in Celsius is 0 not -1.
Eh hh he said below so 31 F or -1 C is the closest whole number below freezing
I think -1 would push it over the edge and 0 would just maintain ice... could be wrong don't quote me but I'm pretty sure the changing of matter states takes a fair bit of extra energy, either being taxed or pushed in, watch some of thunderf00ts recent debunking of things to take water out of the air with condensation
Eh hh | He said "one degree below the freezing point"
0 degree Celsius is both the freezing point of water and the melting point of ice so, -1 is just to make it freeze instead of making it very cold water.
Ya but it needs to be _under_ freezing
Another pretty good example of heat transfer is if you put down an ice cube and put a piece of silver on it for a bit and then take it off the ice cube will have the shape of the silver object melted into it and the silver will be cold to the touch this is because silver is really good at transferring heat.

#stopgoatabuse
do tracer next time
Phil DeRosier game theory already covered tracer
Lolface No that was actually him,he's part of game theory
I mean the game theory channel covered it.
I always assumed with character that do "instafreeze, instathaw" what was actually happening was they were freezing the air around the person, and the reason the person was okay afterwards is because they were never touched directly by the ice, but instead trapped in a tiny room made of the air around them frozen solid.
Hypothesis: mei is not freezing the internals, rather she is coating them in a layer of ice thick enough to hold them for a short time. This explains how they can "thaw" without being automatically hypothermic, it also explains the shattering sound when they smash their way out. The warm air would also help thaw that coating within a few moments.
Perhaps it is hypercooled alcohol or nitrogen in the gun, sprayed with water to create a frosty icing.
I love the joke where you add sacrificing a goat to the equation of finding road hogs size and stuff by using a sun wrestler stand in
@ShoddyCast probably when you've made the vid, it wasn't clear at all, but since the cinematic about meis origin is out, her weapon doesn't freeze the object it hits, it freezes the liquid itself where it hits. I dont know if this changes something, but maybe it is more possible.
Ok so in 3 years people notice him say warcarck, but didn't notice him say "Dr.freeze when listing Ice character's at the beginning of the video? That's just perfect (1:38)
I get the same feeling from when I go shoveling and come in. My hands and feet feel like they are burning in a furnace
It might be some kind of skin tight suspension feild that looks like "cold" but once the resonating energy disapates the field stops(with holding the field causing suffocation)
Did you ever think that the little robot on her back is collecting the hydrogen and then stores it in the backpack. When the backpack reaches close to empty it refills it self and the cycle continues on.
So my cousin had this chemistry teacher who worked with the home ec teacher to make pizzas for his class.
The pizzas were hot and the teacher demonstrated specific heat by having the students eat the pizza the right way up and having the cheese burn the roof of their mouth and then eating the pizza upside down and having the cheese burn their tongue.
Man, I wish I went to that school. They did this class out of the science block because you can't eat in there, they got to eat the pizza through class.
Another point to mention is that at cryogenic temperatures, liquid hydrogen becomes a superfluid - i.e., a liquid with zero viscosity. Zero-viscosity fluids flow out of any hole, no matter how small, so Mei's gun would just leak her ammo everywhere
That's the power of cuteness for ya. Making an evil power seems so innocent
Sorry, I had to stop for a minute to collect myself when you sacrificed a goat for your formula. Too god damn funny... XD
Honestly you did a better job of teaching me about heat and temperature than most of my teachers
The main thing required to make Mei's gun is not whatever you call it, it's *_A FUCKING HAIRDRYER_*
This also forgets to account for the Heat of Fusion which is the energy required to induce a phase change. This is why you can get a bottle of water in the freezer and it doesn’t freeze until you disturb it and it freezes instantly. In reality the freezing of that water would take even more energy to change it from 0° water to -1° ice.
"Sacrifice a goat" *Goat Meme Screams*
"...To freeze a behemoth of a man who's **leans in closer to mic** sex appeal has no limitations"
Easiest explanation: enemies aren't actually frozen solid, instead they are rapidly covered with ice from the cooling moisture in the atmosphere, like your facial hair being coated with ice from your breath while mountain climbing, or snow sticking to your coat while skiing. It builds up thick enough to halt movement, until the target can get enough of a break from the extremely low temperatures for their own body heat to melt the layer of ice, and break it apart with movement. TL;DR, people get coated with ice, it makes them stiff, their body temp melts the ice.
