Mel·Mid Counters

Bait out her W before committing to an all-in or when you use your Ultimate R. She could use this spell to counter your all-in and turn the damage back at you.

Keep an eye on your health bar at all times, and if you’re coming into execute range, be prepared to recall. You mustn't overstay your welcome in the lane to ensure she doesn’t get a free kill.

When playing a melee champion, try not to let her bully and harass you, especially with her Passive, as it will cause extra damage, which could make a difference in the lane.

A good way of baiting her W out in a team fight is by trying to poke her down first. Forcing her to use her W will be crucial in a team fight, and you should only fight her if she has wasted this spell.

Look for fights in the open rather than around objectives. She has AOE in her kit, so her damage output will be pretty high if your whole team is grouped together.

When it comes to the mid and late-game, you should look to pick her off when she is away from her team. If she is split-pushing, you could look to take her down while she is alone.

Mel’s first power spike is at levels 3 and 4. She will have 2 points in her first ability, which will deal more damage.

When Mel gets her Ultimate , she will have more trading potential, enabling her to get kills against you. Make sure you recall if you’re low so she cannot get a kill advantage.

Mel will always be stronger when she has her W available. You must get her to use this ability before you look to finish her off.
