Overwatch is one of the most famous video games currently in the community of players with a little over a year, competing directly against video games such as League Of Legends in countries like South Korea, where there are more active players and becoming the most played from that country.

Its game mechanic consists of six people per team, where we choose a hero with unique movements and abilities. The main objective is to work as a team either to attack or defend points, target escort, control and competitive mode. Recently they added new game modes like team combat.

Each hero has a specific role and are: Offensive, Defensive, Tank and Support with various maps and game modes. That make Overwatch one of the most beloved games in the community of players. And for me one of my favorites.

According to official figures on the same page of Overwatch exceeds 30 million players.

Mei is a scientist who took as her the struggle to conserve the environment.
Although for many the inexplicable and growing climatic phenomenon of the planet was caused by the appearance of new technologies, the rapid growth of the omnic population and the drastic increase in the consumption of resources, the real cause remained a mystery. To find a solution, Overwatch established a series of eco-observatories in remote and crucial locations around the world.

Mei-Ling Zhou was a member of this multi-year initiative. An incomparable climatologist, she introduced state-of-the-art innovations in the field of climate manipulation that protected the endangered areas of Asia and beyond. It was assigned to the monitoring station of the program at the Observatory: Antarctica when the disaster hit: a catastrophic and sudden polar storm that struck the facility, isolated it from the outside world, and left the scientists stranded and the complex in ruins. When they reached the point of shortage of supplies, they entered cryostasis as a last resort to survive until a rescue attempt was made.

But that rescue never arrived. Years passed before they discovered the team's cryogenic camera and Mei, still in hibernation, was the only survivor. The world he woke up in had undergone major changes: Overwatch had ceased to exist, the serious weather problems had worsened and none of the eco-observatories were working. The clues they had discovered were now lost.

Mei decided to continue his work on his own. Equipped with a portable version of its climate manipulator technology, it travels around the world with the hope of restoring the ecological network and identifying the causes of threats to the planet's ecosystem.

Mei is one of the most annoying heroes in Overwatch I say in the sense that it is always efficient for the team to play as their skills play an important role in stopping the opposing team, Mei can freeze the enemies leaving them immobile for later kill them, you can protect your companions with a wall of ice, you can also heal yourself. Their abilities possess a fast reuse, but it is advisable to know when to use them.

It is the main weapon of Mei is a disintegrator that releases an icy discharge that has two forms of firing, the first with left click releases a frozen discharge that damages, slows down and freezes enemies at close range. The second right click mode is an ice projectile that can be used for long range. The weapon has a 200 charger, for the discharge of 20 rounds per seconds and for the projectile of 25 per shot, with a 1.5 seconds recharge.

Ice projectile

The first skill of Mei and extremely important is its cryo freezing as they allow him to surround himself in a block of ice ignoring the damage received while frozen and healing, however, can not move or use skills. The total cure is 150 health points for 4 seconds and a 12 seconds reuse.

The second ability allows you to protect yourself from the enemy line by creating a huge wall of ice, which stops the movement and blocks any enemy attack. Placing 5 pillars with 500 life each in a duration of 4.5 seconds and a reuse of 10 seconds. Very useful to cover enemy attacks and escape from the enemy.

The special ability of Mei in the best in Overwatch because when you hear her phrase a snowstorm comes on the way everyone is placed on alert, since this skill releases a drone that emits gusts of wind and comes in a fairly wide radius, slowing, damaging and freezing all those who are in their 10 meter effect area for 5 seconds.

Mei is considered one of the most difficult heroes to use in Overwatch, however, I have always said that I practice doing the master, but it requires a lot of practice and playing time.

Personally Mei is one of the strongest characters in 1 vs 1, his ability to freeze allows him to take advantage against enemies and by freezing them he can use his ice projectile to do great damage to the enemy, if his abilities are in reuse he can place a wall of ice to block enemy attacks can also use the freeze to heal itself, I think it is one of the most complete characters of Overwatch.

The longer combat time 1 vs 1 Mei takes against his enemy, the more chances he has of his special ability to be charged and of being killed easily. Mei is characterized by catching or distracting enemies with their various abilities.

It is important to use Mei to kill the healers of the opposing team as the main target or the heroes with very fast movement. Mei is one of the few heroes in Overwatch effective at close and long distance.

Slow down and freeze enemies.
His ability allow him to heal himself.
Your ice shield can protect the allied team from enemy attacks.
Your special ability can freeze enemies within the area of effect.
Strong against heroes like; Bastion, Genji, Mercy, Winston.
Strong always in 1 vs 1.
Mei can break free from Junkrat's steel trap by placing the ice wall on it.

Your self healing can be affected by Ana's grenade which does not allow regeneration.
He is a difficult hero to use.
Weak against heroes like; Pharah, Hanzo, McCree, Reaper, Widowmaker and Zarya.

My favorite part, learning more and more things about the heroes of Overwatch.

Mei was announced on November 6, 2015, together with D.Va and Genji. She was added to the closed beta three days later, on November 9. Before that, he mocked a story in the universe, Mei's Adventures.
Mei started as a character called 'Frostbite' and was inspired by ice carving festivals in northern China.
Originally, Mei was meant to be something of a bounty hunter, but a piece of conceptual art by Arnold Tsang led his character to be more of a normal person.
It's a recurring theme that every Blizzard game has at least one character with a skill called Blizzard. In this case, it's Mei.
Mei's age (31) refers to his biological age. Since it was frozen for nine years, its chronological age would be approximately 40.
Your voice line "You have to let it go!" and the random line "Do you want to build a snowman?" are references to the Disney 2013 Frozen movie.
The Frozen movie and the "Let it go" line were mentioned several times in the Overwatch Visual Source Book as a joke among the developers.
Mei's voice line "You have to let it go" is changed to "You have to let it snow" when the exclusive Winter Wonderland Mei-rry skin is equipped. This is a reference to the popular holiday song, Let it Snow.
Mei will quote two lines of a poem A song of white snow in farewell to Wu Going Home secretary of Cen Shen, a poet of the Tang dynasty, in the spawn of any snowy map such as Volskaya Industries or Nepal. The two lines are: "忽如一夜千树, 千树万" "" ".
The voice line "Science This" may be an indirect reference to the theatrical release trailer of the 2015 film The Martian, since the protagonist, astronaut Mark Watney, quotes "I'm going to have to get out of this with science" .
Some of your skills may be a reference to Blizzard Warcraft franchise. Cryo-Freeze seems to be a reference to the Ice Block, a skill that the wizard class can use exactly for the same purpose (it only lasts 10 seconds in that game). In addition, Frost Bolt, one of Jaina's magician skills in Heroes of the Storm, is remarkably similar to Ice Spike.
Mei's dance smiley resembles the "Hare Yukai" dance routine of the first segment of the popular anime "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya"
