How to Use Mel Counter Data

Everything on this page — who beats Mel and who Mel beats — is computed from live ranked matchup data for Mid. The toughest lane opponents at the moment are Soraka, Poppy, Leona: against them Mel posts its lowest win rates in the current data set. The single strongest counter is Soraka, where Mel wins just 36.3% of 397 recorded games. On the flip side, Mel performs well into Sylas, Cassiopeia, Maokai, making them safer picks to face.

Each card shows the win rate from Mel’s perspective and the number of games behind it — a matchup with tens of thousands of games is far more trustworthy than one with a few hundred. The Easy/Even/Hard labels are computed from those win rates (below 48% reads as Hard, above 52% as Easy); they are a reading aid, not a separate source stat. Data comes from ranked games at Emerald rank and above across all regions, currently on patch 16.13.1, and refreshes automatically every 48 hours, so the numbers move with the meta. Counters are only half the picture: check the current Mel build for the strongest items and runes, or the Mel champion page for abilities and full details.
