Who Wins
- You struggle pre-6 due to Mel's superior range and waveclear forcing you to farm under tower while taking Q poke.
- Post-6 you completely flip the matchup with your full combo burst potential, as Mel's immobility makes her an easy target despite her W defensive tool.
How to Trade
- Look for W-Q-E trades when Mel uses Q on minions, but respect her W timing and be ready to W back immediately if she activates it.
- After level 6, commit to full combos with W-Q-R-E as her health gets low, since her W can only block one rotation of your damage.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed in early and focus on farming safely under tower while looking for jungle assistance.
- Once you hit level 6, use your waveclear combo to match her push, then look for roam opportunities or all-in attempts when her abilities are on cooldown.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't trade into her when your W is on cooldown, as you have no way to gap close or escape her Q poke without it.
- Never underestimate her W reflection damage - if she times it correctly during your combo, the reflected damage can turn a winning trade into a losing one.
