Ice Abilities in PVP is a mistake

Where are my fellow Guardian's who double as Overwatch-agents from time-to-time? We need to let Bungie know that what they're planning to do with the new Ice/-blam!- Subclass is going to potentially ruin the Crucible; it's not too late to warn them. We all saw it: Those grenades that throw ice-walls in front of you, or the Hunter Abilities that freeze you in place and suppress you out of your Super... You know what I'm talking about--You know WHO I'm talking about. We're about to be running around in a 6v6 Crucible with likely 12--Count them, TWELVE... Mei's. Think about this--Mei walls, Mei Freezes everywhere--EVERYWHERE... And now think about in Overwatch, how ANNOYING and UNBEARABLE Mei actually is to go against... And then say to yourself, "What if Mei could also move around like Genji?" Because that's what an "Ice Hunter" is going to be... Mei, with Genji Speed/Mobility. Oh and by the way? Grenade Launchers or Rocket Launchers in PvE? Bye. Bye. Bye. All it takes is one troll with an ice-wall grenade while everyone's lining up for a DPS phase with their grenade launchers, or their rocket launchers, and boom. Suddenly there's an ice-wall in your face and you're wiping. Y'all don't think this will happen? This will happen. This. WILL. Happen. CC (character control) abilities (stuns, freezes, sleeps) have all been a crucial part of the Overwatch META for a couple of years now, and they have almost ruined the game. Blizzard is STILL struggling to find ways to control and balance the game because of these abilities, and people have left the game all together because they take away the FUN of the experience. Nobody wants to lose complete control of their character--It's not fun. It's frustrating. It's rage enducing. It's stressful. It ruins the experience of playing. Trials Players: How many of y'all are excited to go into Trials Matches knowing you're basically now going to face a 3-stack of Hunters who can just freeze you in place, supress you out of your Super, and let their teammate (who's probably using Aim-bot anyways) get a free snipe on you? They didn't kill you because they outplayed you. They didn't kill you because they had better skill than you. They didn't kill you because "they got mad flicks." You got killed because of a lucky ability-throw that froze you in placeand game them a FREE headshot because you couldn't dodge it or play to counter it. Oh and then right when that freeze wore off, because you were stationary, one of the other 2 Hunters already THEIR freeze ability--Boom, you're frozen in place again, and you're dead again. Bungie, I'm begging you guys. Don't make this mistake. Don't do this to PvP. PvE is fine, but PvP? You're gonna kill the Crucible.
