Farming
5.2Mel
5.0Shyvana
Mel and Shyvana farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.3 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
1,019Mel
837Shyvana
Mel heavily out-damages Shyvana by 182 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Shyvana should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Mel's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
16,895Mel
14,416Shyvana

This substantial economic advantage means Mel consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.3Mel
0.5Shyvana
Mel brings significantly more crowd control than Shyvana, with 0.8 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Mel far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
553Mel
1,715Shyvana
Shyvana vastly out-sustains Mel, healing and mitigating 1,162 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Shyvana can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Mel is forced to recall.
