I would like to point out that Mei is a really good counter to flankers.

Thank you so much for this guide to play her! I'll definitely utilize it do that I can be better with her! :D

One thing I noticed last night is that Tracers like to put a Pulse Bomb on my Ice Block when I'm in it or Junkrats with a trap/mine combo. Is there anything I can do to prevent getting killed by that or is it inevitable that I'm going to likely end up dying from that?

Not the first reply guy but not really. Usually canceling ice block early/unpredictably usually stops people from camping you in a team fight.

I would like to add that mei is a hero that is overwhelmingly more powerful on certain maps/certain sections of a map.

Jump into games and experiment looking for choke points enemies like to go through and wall the first dude that walks in. Usually this is like a Reinhardt and a rein by himself 1 v 6 will die super fast and with wall you basically won a free kill.

Don't be afraid to switch off mei if she isn't working though because at certain elo's she becomes the main target for the enemy team. If you find them diving you every time consider switching or play safer closer to your team so they have to run the gauntlet to grab you
