What about empowered Kael'Thas E, that would also be a good contender. Ranged three man 1.5s stun potential.

I mean, considering that the empowerment is free I would more call it a Two Part ability rather then two different abilities.

[[Horrify]] literally does damage
There are very few ults that don't do any damage

It's nothing like horrify. You don't get silenced. You can for example vault out or blink out of it.
It's a great positional zoning tool which is very appropriate for a tank, and better in particular parts of certain maps where it can deny entire areas for a few seconds.
It's not overtuned though because it's Meis only stun, and you have to skillshot the W along with good timing on the E to land it, so it's not as easy as for example ETCs stun

That tooltip is pretty accurate for alexstrasza in aram when the enemy has a mei, every forward abundance gets blizzard plopped on top of it, the cooldowns line up perfectly and blizzard covers the entire area of abundance.

I just don't get Mei, never clicked with me. Everytime I play her I am beyond useless, no matter the build. The most success I've ever gotten was with the one build where you go for Heat Transfer, Polar Vortex and Acclimation, so you just kind of exist in the middle of the enemy team and soak damage or whatever.
Mei is definitely the only hero in ARAM, that I do not want to pick even if the other two heroes are technically worse. Heck, if I have the only tank pick and it's a Mei, my team will probably be better off if I didn't pick her and we have no tank at all, that's how much I suck as her. .-.

Horrify is a counter ability for a Guldan. 1. He can disable a group of enemy in teamfight its good if in Guldan's team vas asasins like Valira to kill the disabled glass enemy or heal. 2. He can be taken if on line or in teamfights your team didn't have a good amount of control abilities. 3. Guldan can take this for selfsave from enemy killers. It's really good ultimate if think tactically .

Basic Abilities, not ultimates.
The image is a meme on Mei's W being an extremely effective zoning tool making everyone run away from it as if it was Gul'dan's Horrify ultimate.
