My Mei guide. LEARN a character basics before comp

I loved Mei since beginning and playing support last night it drove me crazy so I took over it. So here my guide summary.
Practice Ice wall, dont spam it randomly.
Look at enemy comp frequently to see if you need change mei style.
Pharah and zen to me is counter. Zen orb can kill you before getting into cryo.
Know when to switch out.
Icicle aim is important so practice.
Roadhog is a juicy target .
Dont get close to junkrat.
Help your team to push, being rambo mei isnt good idea.
Use long shots on tanks for ult charge .

If any other Mei mains want to add please do ^@^

Ok, i love and play mei for a long time so i will add some things and tips for lower rank.

  • dont use wall to block spawn, its useless
  • use wall to split enemy heroes from others
  • wall can block enemy support ults
  • wall can freeze turret in place
  • you can get to elevated position by using wall
  • use wall to protect you and team from enemy ults
    -you can cancel the wall, do it if you dont need it anymore
  • you can double headshot frozen heroes if you will time it well
  • selffreze yourself if damaged, its charging your ult.
  • keep distance from reaper so you can freeze him, if he use wraith form, use wall to block him from escaping
  • dont be afraid to contest widow at long range, mei doesnt have dmg fall off
  • you can freeze multiple targets
  • be carefull with ult, D. Va or sigma can eat it
  • use iceblock to bate abilities like flashbang from McCree if you are in his range.

I have almost 200 hours on mei on ps4 .lol I just havent been picking her since role que started so I’m back in dps que just to play Mei. Right now I’m more focusing on icicle shot, let it charge then shoot however predicting movement helps the long shot . 31% accuracy long shot right now. Sorry I dont use discord nor know what it is

How do you develop the resilience to live with yourself after playing Mei?

I need to learn this skill.

Hahahahaha. Best reply ever

Just posting here to remind myself to look through this thread and laugh when the mei nerf eventually happens. second only to maybe hanzo for most broken hero in the game right now and she single handedly removes half the tank roster from the game just by existing.

Reaper is the threat to tanks. Mei doesnt need nerfed at all. Geez haha.

Mercy mains defended moth mercy. brig mains defended post launch brig, now its Mei mains turn to be the heavily biased OP hero of the year that blizzard is too lazy to address. Enjoy it now because like with every oppressive meta controlling hero the day will come when you crash and burn and you will get no sympathy from anyone. At my ranked you get flamed at for not using mei if the enemy team has one shes broken and if you took off your biased onetrick glasses you might be able to see that.

Just counter mei. It’s really not hard . Mei isnt always good to use that’s the point. Ppl just dont like her that’s why they want a nerf. Nerfing Reaper and baptise is better

I am feeding on the anger and hate i get from enemy teams while playing Mei. And I sleep like baby with smile on my face dreaming how many more people I will freeze next time :smile:

“just counter mei”

first off this isn’t even an argument. you could “just counter” ironclad bastion with dva . And also totally made irrelevant by the fact that the PRO players are the ones calling her busted and are abusing her mirroring meis on both teams typically. If you seriously think you can tell pro players to “just counter mei” then I think you are overdue for an ego check.

You just dont want mei nerfed cause you like playing her, She lets you get easy kills doesnt require much mechanical skill to play all you have to do is stay near your team and wall off tanks the rest is a matter of spamming icicles and freezing people who dare come into your range, you press Q to win team fights cause ur ult is that damn strong.

Tanks have been reworked and mei was already oppressive to those heros. It is very public information that tanks are the least played role and a big part of that is the broken hero you enjoy playing so much. So if we balance the game your way and pander to the mei players dps queue times will only get longer as less and less people want to play tank into the braindead ice queen.

Mei is kinda needed right now or pirate ship would be out of control …

  • be careful when ult-ing in front of Doomfist, he can cancel it with a 0.1s punch
  • wall their tanks from the rest of the team

Like said not hard to counter her. Use pharah. Haha. Reaper is the one that needs nerfed. 40% life steal haaa. Mei is needed for pirate ship also to help incoming damage. You just hate Mei . If they need her I will still play her. She is my favorite character

When I played Overwatch, of my 1700 or so hours? Close to 1000 hours was Mei. :stuck_out_tongue:

I miss Mei. She was so enjoyable to just wreck people’s days with.

Yup. I harass roadhogs like no tomorrow hahaha
