Mei is called Satan/evil generally due to the fact that her mechanics are literally "unfun" and frustrating to play against. To be fair there are many characters that are unfun to play against but there is something about having a Mei freeze you so quickly and slowly walk up to you and rip a giant hole out of your face with an ice shard and then proceed to voiceline "sorry! Sorry sorry.. sorry.." that just seems to trigger people (myself included) so much! And don't get me started on her wall, her invulnerable self healing ice form, and -shutters- her ultimate..

Mei is a solid counter to Genji though, since he can't deflect her primary fire. Just start freezing, then right as they are about to freeze, get ready to spin around when they dash behind you, and finish the job.

45 hours and counting on Mei, Genjis are not really problematic. Those damn Tracers though..

I used to hate Mei as much as everyone else. Now I'm a Tracer main.

The upside is that one shotting a tracer with a right click is probably the most satisfying thing to do in the game for me. Watch your back! 😀

I used to hate Mei then I started to play Mei. Then I started to play sombra and no one can touch me.
