Mel Counters - Best Counter Picking Stats and Matchups for LoL Patch 15.12

AuroraAddict says “Mel can be a little bit tough although in the laning phase you just need to NOT do Q+E Combo all in since she can use her shield (W) to protect herself. The best thing you can do against her is A+A+E with that combo even if she uses her Shield you can then Q her and she will take a lot of damage even if she dosen't Shield your A+A+E combo she we still recieve a lot of damage.”

Jumpman25th says “Take Comet and W max Try to bait out her W reflect with Q's, before you ult unless she's in kill range anyway. Early boots are nice to dodge her Q and E”

Tofu Dubu says “- Free matchup, just dodge her spells, then instantly go into her, she has no sustain, you will hard stomp her. - Abuse your W poke to make her waste shield (same idea has malz)”

Juon says “Basically untouchable. She does a ton of damage, completely ruins the combo by bouncing back either Q or ult. Look to play for other lanes and farm here, go phase rush. Don't bother with comet as she will just keep bouncing Qs back to you. Ideally for this matchup if you do want to trade, combo in but save Q for after her shield then she will be open.”

Marky 2 Butts says “Mel is a pretty big problem for malphite. She has a very long range with her abilities and she can reflect malphs Q which I figured wouldn't be that big of problem. How wrong was I because after getting her first item she tp'd back and I threw a Q and she reflected it back at me and slowed me enough to walk me down with other abilities and ult. After that it was very unplayable in lane. ”

AnxialSociety says “Aery manaflow transcendence scorch. Legend-haste cut-down. Don't R forward when she can e your return position. Hit long-range q's where minions block the reflect. Save your E for when she wastes W on your Q.”

tspeach says “Don’t try to trade unless her W is down—if you go in while it’s up, she’ll reflect your burst and you’ll lose the trade. Her E root is slow but wide, so dodge sideways, not back. Once you hit level 6, you can look for all-ins if her W is on cooldown. If she plays safe, push and roam. Just don’t get poked out before you get to play”

Marex_je_u_bushu says “Mel can be even or major im not that sure. She can outplay you with her W so try to bait that out. When she throws her E you throw W and engage her. Try to dodge her q so your pack dont die. Take doran shield”

22automail says “Despite mels shield, surprisingly very standard matchup, if you get hit by her root when you engage, no problem you can still auto. if she shields either glue onto her and hold your kit or knock her up so she cant run. Try to fight her near your tower as she can just shield and walk under tower if you're too deep and you get no value out of the trade.”

ShokLoL says “Mel is reasonably strong in lane but as long as you don't cast a random R or EQ into her W you should be fine. Focus mainly on pushing the wave/poking her out with Q spam and let her just hold her W the whole time.”

Event Horizon says “Take second wind and overgrowth in secondary tree and you can't be poked down. Her execute means she will get kills by default in early and mid game fights but you will always outscale her. Her W can't reflect any of your abilities but can block Q pop damage and R damage. ”

PaciF1ka says “После недавних изменений мэл перестала быть очень противным чемпионом,поэтому байтить на ешку и убивать,но когда ультуешь,не забудь,что она может включить вэшку и заблочить весь твой дамаг,а после и вовсе убить тебя. After recent changes, Mel has stopped being a very nasty champion, so you can eat and kill, but when you try, don't forget that she can turn on the flash drive and block all your damage, and then kill you altogether.”

TrianglularRose says “Mel absolutely beats you early. She has better poke, trading, and her W can turn a good trade into a solo kill for her. At level six, she can easily all-in you. However, Mel seriously falls off after that, especially if she doesn’t roam. You will lose lane, but so long as you play it safe, once you start roaming, you should pull ahead of her.”

Soft Headpats says “> Her poke in lane can be annoying since she can ignore the minion wave, plus she has good waveclear early on to match you if you choose to shove. > She'll mostly look for poke when her [[Arcane Comet]]/[[Manaflow Band]] are up, so try to bait it out while staying outside of the minion wave. > Her [[Rebuttal]] (W) is extremely annoying for Hwei since almost all his spells are projectiles with cast times that travel relatively slowly. Using [color=#8E44AD]EW[/color] to force her to burn her W keeps you safe from your own spells and forces her to use W or be rooted. Her W has a 35 base CD at rank 1, so you have a big window to be aggressive if she uses it. > You still excel in teamfights whereas she is mediocre, plus you provide a ton of utility, so play with your team and keep track of whether she's used W or not.

Hexeria says “[Weak in the early game so a easy matchup for Galio.] [She can only reflect your Q, while she still get stunned by all your other spells.] [Best Item against her is Hollow Radiance, so try to get that as fast as possible and she cant copy your clear and roam speed.] [Fighting against her should also be easy since she has only her E to keep you at distance.]”

xumi_k says “It's okay. You win early game. She is a counter for immobile mage/adc. Her W reflects projectile spells (Irelia's E, R and maybe W) They all don't do much damage and she often won't have time to react on your E if you land it fast enough or surprise her. Mel’s W has a very long CD early game. Her shield lasts 3 seconds. You can bait it easily, by landing first E and if she uses her shield, wait until it’s over and stun her with second E. Even if she's fed you can destroy her once have Wit's End and BOTRK. Be careful of her ult, once her passive mark above your champ is red, her ult executes you. If you dodge her root, you can all-in her easily and it's a guaranteed kill as she's immobile and all-in dependant. ”

Demonsedge90 says “Her solar snare and radiant volley are potent ways for her to poke you down when trying to walk up for minions. Also, be on the lookout for rebuttal, which appears as a spherical shield around her that reflects projectiles and ranged auto attacks, as this could seriously backfire on you when trying to hit a dark sphere-scatter the weak combo or even finish her off with unleashed power. This matchup is winnable, but it might require some jungle assistance, depending on how well she fights you.”

Chuleex says “Mel w and e are her strongest tools against you, pretty much without them she is free kill, problem is that a good mel will maintain e if she used w or viceversa so you cant dive or combo her freely, try to see how she reacts to w e q combo, if you can bait her w you can all in better, and never dive if she has e, her e is 2 second long even at level 1, once you have ecplise the matchup gets easier as you can poke and tank her dmg, and on sidelane you are stronger, go d shield for her poke, play on her mana and cds, and bait her q to dodge her, with next changes she is going to be easier to deal with.”

Divine Azir says “Mel is a lane bully simmilar to Hwei, but unlike Hwei has an exploitable weakness. You win with smart wave management and macro. You also generally win the early 2v2. ① Mel's main threat comes from her Q poke. It has insane range, is impossible to dodge, and stacks her passive. However, it does little damage on its own early (it all comes from her passive), meaning you can sustain yourself very easily in lane by taking healing runes. Take TP so you can more easily abuse wave management. Early boots are a good buy to avoid the full Q stacks and abuse her poor mobility. ② The longer you stay in lane, the more Mel-favored the match becomes. Luckily, Mel has terrible early wave clear early and doesn't farm well under turret. Stand outside of the wave and try to push her in early. This will let you freeze on the rebound, setting up for your jungler. After level 6, you can slow push into her on repeat to roam. She has weaker skirmishing and team fighting than you do. ③ Mel cannot reflect any of your abilities with her W, but she still has invulnerability. Luckily, it has a long cooldown. Your general approach to the 1v1 (after 6) is to force out her W by drifting at her with full health (when her E is on cooldown); then, you can all-in her when your E comes back up. I advise not trying to 1v1 her unless you have a severe advantage, but if you're feeling confident you can take barrier instead of TP to survive her ultimate.”

ShokLoL says “Mel is a bit of a pest but she shouldn't actually be able to push you out of lane unless you get hit by too much damage for free. Take fleet and rush swiftness boots, and try regain control of the wave whenever she's on cooldown. Be careful because she can W (and reflect) your R. You should outscale if you farm well.”
