9 Multiplayer Characters Who BROKE Their Video Games

7. Mei - Overwatch

Google "Overwatch Mei" and to this day you'll find patches and reams of forum comments analysing Overwatch's otherwise charming-as-hell ice queen.

While Blizzard have changed all sorts of parameters surrounding her mobility, Ultimate, movement speed etc., one early exploit that went unchecked for months was a player's ability to use Mei's Ice Wall to escape the map entirely.

Most prevalent on Ecopoint Antarctica - because it was very easy to do this in one of the starting rooms - once a player launched themselves up and "out" the level, they could return fire and damage the opposition, but not be hit themselves.

Again, even as I type this there are legions of players screaming that Mei's ability to "freeze an entire team!" through base primary fire is also broken, but that's something for the fanbase to discuss.
