Strengths
As a tank, Meg is favoured into assassin, thrower, controller.
- With your mech super you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage.
- With your mech super you focus Bo: controllers have low burst and go down fast under focus.
- With your mech super you focus Lou: controllers have low burst and go down fast under focus.
- With your mech super you focus Jessie: Jessie relies on her turret and is weak herself.
Weaknesses
Meg struggles against marksman, sharpshooter, support and on maps that do not support the tank role.

Draft advice
Meg is a late-pick Brawler. Picking it blind invites a hard counter; take it once the enemy draft is visible.
Learn the pick-order logic in the drafting guide.
When not to pick
Skip Meg when the map layout works against the tank role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
