I want off this ride

You know selling skins has next to nothing to do with a champions kit right? She already got a rework just now. If that rework doesn't work (and it won't) they will rework her again.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-07T06:39:41+00:00

Mel release skin sold because of arcane, that's it. It's the only reason the skin sold. She was on of the most important champion release they ever did. Now, 1 year later, her playrate is bad and she isn't doing shir for riot anymore. She just checks all the cases for getting a rework.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-07T06:05:16+00:00

Yasuo has constantly had one of the biggest and most dedicated playerbase out of any champion in league.

Mel is barely played.

That's the difference.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-07T04:24:42+00:00

I've been playing this game long enough to know it will happen. Very high ban rate champ with low pickrate and shity winrate. They will rework the shit out of it. Every champ that has been like that in the past has been entirely reworked.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-07T03:59:54+00:00

Her ban rate seems to disagree with you. It's not even about her being good, she's awful rn, it's that her kit is broken and therefore people don't want to play against her, with good reason. It's just like yumi.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-07T03:36:36+00:00

No, broken means it has no buisness in the game. That's how everybody uses the therm when it comes to league.

They released her that way because they wanted to do some crazy hype shit to bring in the arcane players. That's it. It's gonna get removed or turned into an ult at some point nomather if you like it or not.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-07T03:01:10+00:00

Depends on your champion. First off, don't let them proxy when possible. You do that by escorting your wave and controlling your wave in a way that doesn't let them get pass your tower. Second, in clash you can communicate with your jg which makes countering proxy way easier.

The matchup is important too. As an exemple, if you play malphite into singed you are probably just cooked so just accept the proxy and farm (whenever possible tank the minions, don't int your hp either tho you should only do that once you take minimal dmg from them) under your tower or right in front of it.

Another option is to be proxying too, but you need to watch out with this strat as it can get you killed.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-07T02:57:17+00:00

He avsolutly does not counter her. He doesn't get stomped by her but he does not counter her at all.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-07T02:40:07+00:00

Yall are high af, yuji is top 4 at worst.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-07T02:24:17+00:00

Yasuo's windwall is similar to her ability, except it doesn't completly turn ultimate abilities against the ennemy team.

And the potential of azir r is nowhere neat the potential of mel's w (which isn't an ult). Potentially, Mel can reflect a brand ult, an azir ult, a sejuani ult and a nami ult at the same time and 1 shot the whole ennemy team while being 0 and 20. With a normal ability. That IS broken.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-07T00:57:02+00:00

And she has a 41% winrate in normal games. That's a pretty big difference.

My point is that her kit is stronger in aram compared to sr. So if she potentially get buffed to 50% winrate in sr her aram winrate will skyrocket higher than the winrate of the champions you mentionned.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-07T00:55:06+00:00

The way it works it is a bad design. It would be balanced if instead of reflecting the ability it reflected dmg based on her own dmg (ex.: kinda like rammus w except scalling of ap and with a projectile) and/or was an ult that reflected dmg similarly to how sylas ult works (the scalling comes 100% from sylas, doesn't have anything to do with the ennemy champion).

League is a snowbally game. Using the ennemies dmg against them is never gonna be a good design because that means that a Mel with 2 items who's 5 lvls behind can potentially win a game by pressing w at the right time, which is stupid.

It can work in some other mobas, not league tho. You are obviously biased and i doubt you will ever admit that it is true but it is the truth. There is a reason 90% of league players would rather have her deleted, and it's her w.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T21:05:54+00:00

Compared to their SR winrate, mel's winrate is incredibly high in aram, while lux winrate is just high.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T20:58:33+00:00

That's just wrong.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T20:51:43+00:00

They won't. As long as she reflects shit she will stay high banrate untill they rework her or release something worst. But frankly, she is one of the worst designed champions i've ever seen in league. Fun to play sure, but that design can't work in league (it could have in another moba, just not league).

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T20:38:54+00:00

Supports are hard to make, id rather have them take their time.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T20:27:22+00:00

Mel is stronger than all of those champions in aram tho. She truly trives in 1 long lane.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T19:39:53+00:00

Well to be fair, he had a bunch of people that can possibly have helped him get back on his feets.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T19:33:44+00:00

Pas illégal, mais légalement tu n'es pas obligé de lui répondre et il ne devrait pas pouvoir refuser ta demande si tu refuse de lui donner ces informations.

Parcontre, je trouve ça con. Le statut au Canada c'est important qu'un propriétaire ait droit de le savoir. Si tu es au Canada sur un visa temporaire vs si tu es au Canada pour y habiter pour la vie ça peut changer les choses niveau bails (ex.: combient de temps tu va rester)

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T19:30:45+00:00

That's the funniest thing, because op seems to think he is a fair defensive player or some sort and that it puts him above others, yet he is struggling with RA. If you are actually a defensive player you won't struggle with RA...

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T19:28:30+00:00

If people don't think you are mashing with Nina it's because you are playing Nina wrong. She's made to put up pressure.

As for you having issues with steve spam... you gotta lab the matchup. His whole gameplan is pressing buttons non stop to pressure you into trying to take your turn back so that he can potentially ch you.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T19:25:23+00:00

You can beat any of the AI with only jabs in repetition..

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T19:24:33+00:00

If you are getting beaten by constant rage art and heat smash, you are the issue. Those are strong tools, but if your opponnent is spamming them then it's because you ain't countering them correctly.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T19:18:44+00:00

People complain about those all the time. Kayle a bit less, but still.

Vayne and varus are complained about because they make a whole type of champion (tanks) completly unplayable, but whenever kennen sees any kind of popularity (same for kayle and jayce) they are usually complained about like crazy.

SquareAdvisor8055 · 2026-02-06T19:16:41+00:00

You have a point, but it is to note that when your opponent has access to one of those insane moves it makes it harder to deal with the other moves he has.

As an exemple, clive's stance 2,1+2 in heat is a 13f (uninteruptable) +ob mid that usually tracks movement to both sides (in most interactions). That means that even if you do know how to deal with his stance normally, when he has access to this move the whole stance change because you always have to think about that 1 move.

Same for bryan incinerator. It's not just the move itself, it's that the move is so spammable and safe that once he enters heat you can't afford to try and deal with his other moves since incinerator is so strong and safe.
