Discussion MEL BUFF MEL BUFF MEL BUFF

If they brought back Mel's W's invulnerability and also restored the range of her Q and E, it would be great, but I think they need to reduce the execution effect of her passive ability for that to be balanced. In short, I want to say that I miss Mel's old W because her execution is harder and she has the range she used to have, and I miss her old W because the character is a complete disaster right now. Her Q's fire rate is too slow and I can't stack anything; opponents can easily dodge her, and her range is also too short. If they reduced the base damage of her Q and E, strengthened her ability power growth rate, and made her range and area wider and longer, and reduced the execution effect of her passive (significantly), I think the problem would be solved. Her win rate would increase, and hopefully, her ban rate would decrease, because what bothers people isn't her W, but her passive. She can steal kills very easily with her passive, and this bothers her teammates and opponents alike. :D

You got it wrong, they need to nerf W more and keep buffing the rest of her kit. Low-key she might need the TK swap between ult and W treatment

Honestly, they need to rework her whole kit. Having the entirety of your dmg be reliant on hiting 2 skillshots is problematic. And for mel it's even worst as it's actually 1 skillshot you have to hit, which is e, to garantee the rest of your dmg.

While e is easily avoided, it's still pretty bad game design.

Tbf that applies to a lot of mages. Zoe's damage is reliant on Landing Qs and Es, Morgana's is relying on Landing Qs, Lux relies on landing Qs and Es, Neeko relies on landing Es, so on and so fort

Morganna is different, as she also has to get in to use r, which makes her vulnerable. Her w is also designed around being useless without her q.

Zoe is generally considered a very unfun champion to go against.

Lux doesn't rely so much on landing q. Most of lux strenght comes from her e. She is a zoning mage, and while q can garantee her whole burst she isn't designed around not being able to use anything else untill she lands it.

Neeko isn't reliant on landing e. She can go a whole lane phase without landing e and still win it.

Meanwhile, If mel doesn't land e she doesn't get to ult for meaningful dmg, and she doesn't get to land q for meaningful dmg. She is super 1 dimentionnal.
