Mel Medarda – 200 Years Champion Or Well Designed? | League Of Legends

Ww's w has far longer cd for far less effect when he uses it

I took a break from league, came back and played against a mel support. I main adc, and was playing Caitlin, where i headshot her, and it killed me. She literally didn't use anything but her reflect and i died from it plus her passive execute. This was after being harassed in lane with a q that has zero windup so comet and scorch land almost guaranteed. My new perma ban….or i just take another break from league….damnit riot

Honestly if they make the shield directional in a 180 way, that could could even be good

She ambessa and kasante are mistakes

its insane that you are punished for landing your own skillshots, it takes skill to land projectiles and mel just presses a button and your fucked. Playing ahri against her gave me brain damage

Mario’s side b and Zelda b taught me when to time my reflections

i hope more champions get reflection, just like Braum and Samira got windwall

I'd say well designed. Her winrate isn't great, the shield is high enough cooldown to not be a complete menace, but frequent enough to be useful.

She can get a lot of kills, but only if people don't respect her. She's snowball heavy and a kill stealer.

we are missing somehting important here. her w would still be strong if it would have 90sec cd and be the ult. its would still be fucking powerfull. this ability alone makes certain champs competly useless. you want to play sera. forget it, if she has w you just cant use your strongest ability. you want to play renate, same problem, ash, jinx, varus, nami, morgana… the list goes on.
whoevery thought an reflection ability in a game like lol is a good idea, either takes crack or is one of those loosers, who push their ego in playing a shooter with aimbot to feel better then others

thx riot, you proofed ones again, you dont care, youre a bad company, your game deserves to finally die. its time to move on

Vars. Longtime complaint, the background music is too loud and competes with your narration.

she is legit lame af kinda every spell i reflect does nothing

I just played her 3 times and went around 30/2 each time. She is busted. How this got through testing is beyond me.

boring passive. both portions. boring q. just an aoe dot. boring e. just a line slow/snare. ultimate… whatever. mel should have been an enchanter. thats why in my eyes she will always be a failure of a champion. EVERYONE was not only expecting, but HYPED for her to be an enchanter… like how often does that actually happen?? being excited for probably the most hated role in the game. yet shes just another boring mage with a powercrept samira w. its like when they "updated" viktor and could have given him a whole new kit (or just made a new champ called viktor 2.0) and instead just make him op… lol

And yet she's best placed in the botlane as an APC in the current meta.

Remove her "W", its broken.

Edit: Also dont play Corepunk, its terrible.

I think her W is not terrible. However, I think that it should be positional. I do not think that it should be on herself, and I think that they should strip away the movement speed and the invulnerability entirely, and that the casting should function as Jayce E. It places a gate down that pushes the first enemy projectile that hits it back in the direction of the caster.

I feel like it is really telling how poor the design of new champions is because every time a new champion spotlight drops you can hear the collective sighs of millions of league players. This doesn't happen when most other communities get new champions. Imagine the exitement around new hero releases in old overwatch for example. basically, you can tell league design sucks cause almost no one is happy about new champs.

200 YEAR DEI CHARACTER

Yes, the execute is mitigated by tanks, and I'm glad that they didn't make it a % max health squared true damage execute so that tanks get fucked even harder, but this is gonna be nightmarish for ADCs. They're gonna take one Q and get executed from 50% health because they've got all the squishiness of a mage and all the base damage of a tank.

Having played as and vs her, it's not her W, it's her Q that is the problem, she can poke you from across the map, with almost no indication she's going to do it, on a very short cooldown. Yes you can dodge subsequent hits, but she doesn't need all hits to land. She will poke you down and ult you. If you try to CC her, she will reflect that at you, then CC you further. If you get out of place, she will CC you and wombo-combo you. Her CC goes thought everything, so it's even harder to dodge even if it's slow. She's slow, yes, so if you are mobile and can get close to her and auto her, then she will die, but mages are going to struggle against her, those who cannot get close too.
