Switching Mouse Buttons for Mei

Okay, so I started playing that little nerd a bit outside of being pushed into it in Mystery Heroes. It’s fun as hell, even though I don’t get a whole lot accomplished yet.

The main problem I have with Mei is the mouse button assignment. Unlike every other hero, she has her AOE ability sitting on the left mouse button as primary fire, and the precision icicles as secondary fire on the right mouse button. This is totally messing me up, resulting in missing most of the required headshots while I have people frozen in place because all the Roadhogging and Torbjörning has conditioned my brain to work exactly the other way, and I am hitting the wrong button…

So I went into the game options and discovered that I can switch the button assignment individually for every character. That’s wonderful and basically all I need - or so I thought until I came to find out that switching the primary/secondarybuttons also affects the interaction with wall building and ice block and reverses the assignment there to build or cancel.

Is there any way to get around that?

Hello Vierrna,

I’m afraid that wouldn’t be possible. Since the left and right mouse buttons are bound to different options apart from primary and secondary fire, reversing them also affect those options.

Yeah I was just hoping that maybe some console/config file magic would do the trick, but I didn’t get my hopes up too high since the customization per character is already quite generous as it it is.

So mean. Honestly!
