Talk:The Pyro vs Mei/@comment-29099806-20170605154259/@comment-44986083-20200204054818

Both are good fighters but in terms of a one on one death battle, I'd say Pyro would win hands down. For starters, I'm sure Pyro's flamethrower can easily melt or at the very least break away a good amount of Mei's ice wall easily since his fire is hot enough to melt metal robots. Mei does have a good long range advantage with her icicle which can headshot but it's a projectile which pyro can easily reflect with his air blast. (Worth noting, her Endothermic Blaster shoots a concentrated stream of frost which according to the wiki is "Projectile-like" which might be able to be reflected back and same goes for her ultimate which is an "Arching Projectile") Even though Mei has a healing ability, she's left stationary and staying in one spot is not something you'd want to do against a pyro that's meant to get in close and deliver a lot of DP in such a short time. Not to mention she doesn't have much mobility to escape from that close up to Pyro while Pyro has a jet pack or can flare gun hop. In terms of experience, Pyro has been fighting a wide variety of mercenaries, robots, monsters demons and magic users. Even took down an entire blue team by himself while Mei isn't really a fighter but more of a scientist with a freeze gun. In terms of durability, Pyro survived a fiery explosion in a 2 story weapons shed in the comics, can casually walk through a -50 degree blizzards without even feeling the cold. He also has an axe meelee weapon and a shotgun. So Pyro can reflect most of her projectiles with his flamethrower, His shotgun can do significant damage close to medium range, and he can easily kill a bear, which is stronger than Mei, with his axe alone. This is if DB uses just his stock weapons like the did with Scout. (Except with Bonk but maybe they'll give pyro his scorch shot too like in the "Meet the Pyro" video)
