About Mei

Mei is one of the main heroes in the game Overwatch. She is a smart and kind climatologist who possesses various useful tools and is a damage-dealing hero in the game. Here is a brief overview of the character.

Background

Mei, also known as Dr. Mei-Ling Zhou, is a cheerful and popular climate scientist specializing in climate manipulation. She was a member of a climate change initiative established by Overwatch and stationed in Antarctica. A polar storm caused a major malfunction in the facility and left her team stranded. The team was forced into cryostasis in an attempt to survive the disastrous storm. She awoke nine years later to discover that she was the only one to survive cryostasis. She used what remained of the fallout to build an endothermic blaster and install an antenna to receive communications from other Overwatch members. She managed to leave Antarctica with the help of Winston, another Overwatch teammate, and set out to continue her research to tackle the worsening climate problem. She used her endothermic blaster in a series of events that helped save cities around the world from attacks by omnics and terrorist groups. She is known to be intelligent and a somewhat climate-focused scientist.

Special Abilities

Mei possesses a unique set of weapons and abilities. Her background as a climatologist allows her to freeze herself for protection and use an endothermic blaster to effectively freeze an enemy in combat. Additionally, one of her most useful abilities, Ice Wall, creates a barrier of ice to block enemy attacks. Additionally, Mei's Blizzard move unleashes a drone that alters the weather to create a wild and powerful snowstorm, damaging enemies it attacks. Mei's Blizzard move can easily overwhelm her opponents during a battle, making her one of the best one-on-one fighters in the game.

Mei forms many relationships with other members of the Overwatch team. Among the characters Mei bonds with in the game are Lúcio the DJ and McCree the bounty hunter.
