Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior waveclear and roaming potential, as your Q can clear waves faster than Mel's Q while your W provides consistent damage that bypasses her W reflection.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes more dangerous as her R global execute pressure forces you to play more cautiously around your health thresholds.
How to Trade
- Look to Q the wave and immediately roam since Mel lacks early mobility to follow, using your superior map presence to gain advantages elsewhere.
- When forced to trade, use W outer edge damage while staying outside her Q range, as she cannot reflect your W stars effectively.
Wave Control
- Hard shove every wave with Q then look for roam timers, as Mel's early waveclear is inferior and she has no reliable way to follow your roams.
- Maintain vision control around river to avoid getting caught by her E root when returning to lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get baited into extended trades when she has W available, as the reflection can turn favorable exchanges against you.
- Avoid staying in lane at low health post-6, as her R global execute range makes recalls mandatory when below execute threshold.
