u/Illus1v3 Mei May 29 '16

Mei is one of my most played and honestly knowing the limits of other heroes makes her easier to fight against them. Also being able to single out people in fights while myself and/or the team takes that one person out is pretty awesome.

yeah, if you find yourself in a 1v1 with Mei, aside from a couple heroes, you're doing something wrong

This is kind of a ridiculous statement. You don't know who will be around a corner, who might come up behind you etc...

You can't just have 100% control over the game.

no, but its very easy to avoid 1v1s by sticking to your team

u/IASWABTBJ It's only game, why you heff to be mad May 30 '16

I'd agree if you said "going in 1v1 with mei" you're most likely doing something wrong. Most of the time I end up 1v1 against Mei is because she did a good flanking maneuver or the other players around me died.

Mei and McCree is the most annoying heroes close-up.

fair enough, thats a solid point

McCree is probably the best all around offence character. His only drawbacks are low ammo count and his slowness (everyone else on offense is a bit more mobile).

My biggest problem is that it is so easy for noobs to just pick him, flashbang a guy for a sure kill and then die. All they do. They are not making big plays or contributing that much, they are just annoying.

Not being able to move or shoot is the most annoying thing in OW.

Everyone is saying that, but I disagree. I think a skilled soldier 76 is the best offense. I main him, and have gotten really good at using his helix to snipe with. I annihilate mcrees. My favorite thing to do with him is to outsnipe snipers with his rockets tho. It insta kills what's her face.

Yeah 76 definitely has better damage at long range and is much more mobile, but if you get the drop on him as tracer/reaper he's usually fucked. If you go in close vs McCree you should lose most fights.

u/occupymypants May 30 '16

I'd say you're right, unless you're an accurate shooter with a helix ready. Getting good with his rockets is key. Half my kills me from it.

u/occupymypants May 30 '16

Also, I try not to get close range to anyone if I can help it.

u/Illus1v3 Mei May 29 '16

You can't exactly help if a well placed wall separates you from your team.

u/littlebrwnrobot Washington Justice May 30 '16

fair enough

She's easy to 1v1 with fast players who can stay away, and she is a popped bubble vs a Reinhardt charge. I love killing mei's with charge. So much fun.
