Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to range disadvantage and inability to stick to Mel through her W movement speed and kiting potential.
  • Post-6 you gain some kill pressure with R engage, but Mel can still W your Q follow-up and kite you effectively, making extended trades difficult.

How to Trade

  • Look for short trades using E to slow then quick W detonation, avoiding extended fights where Mel can stack passive projectiles and kite.
  • Use Q only when Mel's W is down or when you can guarantee the knockup, as she can reflect it back for significant damage.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely and building W shield stacks rather than pushing, as Mel will out-poke you in extended trades.
  • Try to freeze near your tower where Mel has less room to kite and you can potentially set up ganks with your Q knockup.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't charge Q in Mel's face when her W is available, as the reflected damage and knockup will turn the trade heavily against you.
  • Avoid using R for engage alone without follow-up damage, as Mel can simply W the follow-up CC and kite away with the movement speed.
