Mel Matchups Overview
Mel General information
Mel tips and tricks
When possible, try to consume your Passive and extra damage on the enemy champion rather than minions. It will help to gain a health advantage in the lane.
Your W spell is your main defensive spell. Play safe when it is on cooldown, and make sure you only use it to block major damage. Avoid using it unless you have to!
Aim both your Q and
E so they push and poke the enemy lane opponent at the same time. This makes great use of your mana bar and helps you look for that all-in.
