Mel, the newest League of Legends champion, brings unique abilities that require specific counterplay strategies. Here's how to effectively counter her in lane and teamfights:

Bait Out Her W (Rebuttal)

• Her W makes her invulnerable to projectiles and damage (except turret shots)
• Projectiles hitting her W shield are reflected back to the source
• Exploit its long cooldown (30+ seconds at early ranks)
• Engage aggressively while W is on cooldown

Managing Health and Positioning

• Her passive allows her to execute low-health targets
• Leave lane when low on health to avoid executions
• Avoid free auto-attacks, especially after she uses abilities
• Her damage stacks become more threatening as the game progresses

Combat Strategies

• Capitalize on her lack of mobility when E is on cooldown
• Use CC to lock her down
• Fight in open areas to avoid grouped AOE damage
• Spread out during teamfights
• Wait for her W cooldown before engaging
