Mei by FeliciaFan

"Our World is Worth Fighting For!"

Cheerful, Creative and Optimistic, Dr. Mei-Ling Zhou was once a Climatologist working at Ecopoint Antarctica, one of Overwatch's eco-watchpoints that had been designed in order to monitor the world's rapidly changing climate. After a Polar Storm forced her unit to go into cryostasis to save themselves, Mei would be the only one to wake up again as all the cryo-pods, bar her own, had malfunctioned. Using her ingenuity and the assistance of Snowball, her little robotic partner, Mei was able to escape the frozen prison and make her way out into the new world, a world without Overwatch, a world changed by the tides of the Omnic Crisis.

Now, this bright-eyed scientist is looking to show the Nexus what she can do, and show that her world isn't the only one worth fighting for.

STATS:

Mei is a resilient area-controlling specialist who excels at closing off exits and securing kills for her team. She is designed to specifically counter dive-based heroes and protect the more valuable members of her team, namely that of her healer or primary damage dealer. On top of dealing with aggressive dive-based characters, she also excels at forcing enemies out of objectives.

Damage: 5/10

Utility: 9/10

Survivability: 6/10

Complexity: 6/10

Strengths:
+Sports several forms of CC
+Deters enemies from approaching thanks to Endothermic Blaster's passive slow
+Icicle Launcher gives a form of powerful burst damage
+Ice Wall makes escape nigh impossible for some heroes and cannot be jumped over
+Cryo-Freeze negates burst damage

Weaknesses:

-Very weak siege
-Moves slower than other heroes
-Low damage overall outside of Icicle Launcher and Heroics
-Struggles against sustained damage, especially ranged sustained damage

Synergizes Well With:

GARROSH, DIABLO, MALFURION, JAINA, ETC. (Mei works well with heroes that can take advantage of the CC she possesses. Heroes that can either reposition enemies or help with her ability to approach and trap enemies are the allies that should be looked into when a Mei is being drafted into your team.)

Excels against:

TRACER, GENJI, MAIEV, ETC. (Mei's natural slow abilities make her prime for dealing with characters looking to pressure her backline, namely the likes of Genji and Tracer. She also works well against heroes with global abilities, like Dehaka and Falstad, who would try to take her and her team by surprise.)

Struggles against:

FENIX, NOVA, HANZO, JUNKRAT, ETC. (Mei's overall lower movement speed leaves her susceptible to any hero who can bypass her CC, namely characters with long range. She also greatly fears slows as she's already slower than the rest of the cast.)

HEALTH: 1850 (+4% per level)
