Mel Mid and Late Game
What Mel does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Mel out-wards most champions (percentile 76): keep owning vision around the next objective.
- Mel brings crowd control (percentile 71): start the fight or follow up on a teammate's engage.
Mistakes to avoid
- Mel mitigates little damage (16/100): one bad position ends the fight, so stay behind your frontline.
Playing Mel
- Mel can reflect enemy projectiles, including powerful spells. Wait until she casts Rebuttal before throwing powerful projectiles her way.
- The more Mel hits you, the more Overwhelm stacks she applies. If your health drops too low her next hit will kill you, so back off for a couple seconds to let the Overwhelm stacks fall off.
