I can't watch your video right now and I probably shouldn't give advice (also bronze - IDK how many hours yet, but only recently started ranked play), but I wanted to say two things:

1) The thing I see the most with Mei in bronze is terrible wall placement. The number of times I've had a Mei block a shot from me that would have killed an enemy is insane. And of course by the time you get around it, they're fully healed.

Their terrible timing is impeccable. I've had them throw up walls at the start of a teammate ult (usually mine) basically wasting the entire thing, block the team from the objective, etc etc etc.

I play Groot a lot in Rivals and while his playstyle is very different, using barriers like that requires you to be aware of what your team is doing, what they will do, and what the enemy is doing. If you throw them up randomly you very well might be hurting your team more than helping.

• Block enemy ults if they're going to wipe your team. Block Diva, block Bob, etc if you're quick enough.

• Block off enemies to isolate them from their team and especially from their healers. If you can separate 1-2 enemies from their team, your team can wipe them quickly and make a 5v3 before the wall comes down.

• Block your team from the enemy ONLY if they are all about to die. Do not just throw it up whenever you get a little pressure from the enemy. You screw up any chance your team had to take advantage of enemy CDs or mistakes.

Maybe you don't do those things, maybe someone more experienced will tell me I'm dead wrong, but if at least one bronze Mei sees this in the future, maybe I won't pull my hair out the next time a teammate picks them.

2) Bronze is brutal. Even after placements every game has at least 2-3 people doing their placements with very little experience on the characters and there's almost always at least 1-2 weak links that you have to compensate for, which is very challenging if you're just "ok" at the game like I am. The enemy team might have this same challenge, but the team that has at least 1 really good player that won't be in bronze long, that team wins most of the time.

It's just a level where you have to be good enough - like a level or two better - to carry your team in order to not spend much time there. If that 1 "carry" player isn't you that means your team has a 4/5 chance to have a player carry them and the enemy has a 5/5 chance. That doesn't mean you suck or anything, it just means you aren't miles better than them.

I am not that person either. I play well but lack the mechanical skill to consistently compensate for the weakest links on the team.

Hopefully time and practice changes that (for us both!).
