Sivir vs Mel Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Two very different profiles meet in the ADC lane: Sivir the marksman, Mel the mage/support hybrid. 579 tracked games on 16.13.1 put Sivir at a 54.4% win rate into Mel. That is 4.4 points above even, so Mel is one of the matchups Sivir can lean on.
Because Sivir is physical-based and Mel magic-based, the counter-item is obvious but different for each. Before items it is 600 HP, 30 armour, 30 MR for Sivir; 630, 21, 30 for Mel. Sivir absorbs early autos better by 9 armour. By level 18 that becomes 2368 health and 98 armour for Sivir against 2313 and 109 for Mel. Base attack damage is 60 against 54, so Sivir wins the raw auto-attack exchange. There is a movement gap too: 335 for Sivir, 330 for Mel.
With both sitting in ranged range (500 against 550), neither side gets a free poke pattern.
A missed On The Hunt from Sivir hands Mel the window to land Rebuttal. Then it becomes On The Hunt against Golden Eclipse, and the one still holding it sets the terms.
That 54.4% rests on 579 recorded games from 16.13.1.
