When to Pick
Against rush and brawl comps where Ice Wall splits their grouped push perfectly. Choke-heavy maps where Wall creates massive value by isolating enemies from their team. When your team needs to control space and slow enemy engages. Against enemies that group tightly for Wall splits.
When to Avoid
Against dive comps that ignore your Wall and bypass you entirely. Against Pharah who flies over everything you place on the ground. On open maps where Ice Wall has limited impact and enemies walk around it. When your team needs burst damage rather than utility.
Bio
Story
As a peerless climatologist stationed in Ecopoint: Antarctica, Mei-Ling Zhou’s team was forced into cryostasis during a turbulent storm. Sadly, the cryostasis lasted far longer than intended, and Mei awoke nine years later as the only survivor in a damaged station. With the help of her robot companion, Snowball, Mei invented new technology to escape Antarctica and join up with the new Overwatch.
