Pantheon vs Mel Matchup Summary

The Pantheon vs Mel matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 70 recent matches analyzed, Pantheon wins with a 64.3% win rate compared to Mel's 35.7%, giving Pantheon a 28.6 percentage point advantage. Pantheon dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
