Mel Counters

Every figure on this page, covering which champions beat Mel and which ones Mel beats, comes from live ranked Mid lane matchup data. Right now Soraka, Poppy, and Leona are the hardest lane opponents for Mel, and they produce its weakest win rates in the current dataset. Soraka is the strongest counter overall: Mel wins only 36.3% of its 397 recorded games against her. In contrast, Mel does well against Sylas, Cassiopeia, and Maokai, so those are safer matchups to take on.

Each card displays Mel’s win rate along with the number of games that rate is based on. A result drawn from tens of thousands of games deserves more trust than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags are calculated from the win rate: under 48% is labeled Hard, and over 52% is labeled Easy. They help with reading the data but are not a separate statistic. The numbers come from ranked games at Emerald and above across all regions on patch 16.13.1, and they update automatically every 48 hours, so they shift as the meta changes. Counters only tell part of the story, so pair them with the current Mel build for the best items and runes, or open the Mel champion page for ability details and the full breakdown.
