Corpse Run 650: That’s cold
Back when I first started playing Overwatch, Mei was my gal. No matter the situation, I’d almost always choose to play as her due to the fact that ice wall is one of the most fun abilities in any game ever.
…but then competitive play came along and changed everything. I focused more on support characters in order to best help secure W’s. Mei almost entirely disappeared from play.
…but then she got buffed, her ultimate AoE was increased and suddenly Mei is everywhere again.
…but not played by me.
Now I just die from Mei’s all the time, helplessly flailing around as I turn to ice, only for her to shoot me in the face like an immobilized fish in a barrel. Damn you, Mei, you heartless crazy lady.
In other news, Aflac Insurance visited my office this week to tell us about a number of insurance plans they had available (health, dental, serious injury, life, etc).
Each type of insurance had a little packet explaining it, and each packet cover featured the Aflac duck mascot. The mascot looked pretty mundane and boring on each cover, except for the life insurance packet…
…where he was dancing.
I mean, there’s no easy way to talk about life insurance and dying and all that, but jeez the one packet talking about dealing with the financial fallout of people dying, and that’s the one the duck is dancing on?
Bravo, Aflac, that was pretty funny.
Mei wins. FATALITY!
Mei was one of those characters where it took a long time for the community to figure her out. She was always considered quite low-tier, but it turns out that even before her buff, she was quite good at doing what she does. What she does is she cuts off the first player coming through a chokepoint for her team to slaughter, making the battle 5v6, and exploiting her staying power (the best in the game) to contest points for as long as possible. She’s really more of a tank than anything, and she’s 100% broken in arcade, where the cooldowns are shortened. I saw one video where a Mei contested a payload for like 10+ minutes in overtime.
Also, don’t forget that heroes never die.
