Who Wins the Anivia vs Mel Matchup?

Anivia vs Mel Matchup Summary
The Anivia vs Mel matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 57 recent matches analyzed, Mel wins with a 54.4% win rate compared to Anivia's 45.6%, giving Mel a 8.8 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Mel controls the early laning stage, but Anivia outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Mel needs to press advantages before Anivia reaches their power spikes, while Anivia should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Anivia leads by 317 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Mel has a strong advantage in this matchup. Anivia players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Mel overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Early Game vs Late Game
Mel dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 64.0% win rate — a 28.0 percentage point lead over Anivia. This lopsided early game means Mel can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Mel must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Anivia reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Anivia survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
