Based on 20 recent matches analyzed, Rell wins with a 70.0% win rate compared to Mel's 30.0%, giving Rell a 40.0 percentage point advantage. Rell dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Mel players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.
