Mei is strong against 10 heroes

Reinhardt
Reinhardt Hard Counter

The Ice Wall blocks both charges and forward movement, and the slow effect causes melee attacks to miss.

Doomfist
Doomfist Hard Counter

You can slow down agile combos with "Slow" and nullify them with "Critical Freeze."

Winston
Winston Favorable

Block the escape route with an Ice Wall so they can be caught with a Slow spell

Reaper
Reaper Favorable

Death Blossom can be nullified with Cryo Freeze

Genji
Genji Favorable

Endothermic Blaster's cold can't be blocked by Deflect, and Cryo-Freeze can dodge Dragonblade too.

Tracer
Tracer Favorable

If you land a slow, you can neutralize their mobility and take them down.

Wrecking Ball
Wrecking Ball Favorable

You can block the path of rolling objects with an Ice Wall

D.Va
D.Va Favorable

Endothermic Blaster's cold can't be cleared by Defense Matrix, and the slow effect blunts Boosters' getaway too.

Hazard
Hazard Favorable

I used Cryo Freeze to survive Bone Sting's burst, but got hit on the way back from my slow-motion dive.

Vendetta
Vendetta Favorable

Endothermic Blaster's sustained cold drains Warding Stance's energy, and the slow makes melee swings miss.

Mei is weak against 4 heroes

Junkrat
Junkrat Favorable

Throw grenades over the ice wall, and you can wait with bombardments even after the Cryo-Freeze ends.

Pharah
Pharah Favorable

We can maintain a sky untouched by the cold, and our only hope lies in precision shots at the icicles.

Echo
Echo Favorable

It can attack from the air, where the cold air doesn't reach, and can fly over Ice Walls.

Orisa
Orisa Favorable

While Fortify is active, slow effects don't work, and it's easier to hold the front line even if you're cut off by an Ice Wall.
