Scuttle Contest

  • You lose early scuttle fights badly since your Q gets reflected by her W and she outranges you significantly with Q poke, forcing you to take unfavorable trades.
  • From level 6, you only win if you can land E charm first and have R charges to gap close immediately - any hesitation lets her kite you to death with superior range.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Mel will likely full clear efficiently with Q waveclear then look to invade your jungle or contest objectives around level 4-5.
  • She'll prioritize vision control around objectives since her R global execute makes her extremely dangerous in teamfights.

Invade or Not

  • You should not invade her jungle unless you have significant backup from laners, as her W reflects your Q back and her superior range makes 1v1 invades suicide.
  • Only consider invades when she's low after ganking and you can burst her before she can kite.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use R charges carelessly to gap close - if you miss E charm, you're stuck in melee range against a champion designed to kite you.
  • Avoid extended trades in open areas where she can maintain range advantage, instead look for quick burst opportunities in tight spaces.
