Playing as Mel

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke from range with your volley

    Stay back and poke with Radiant Volley (Q): its projectiles explode in an area up to 950 range, and each hit applies Overwhelm.

  2. An auto after each spell

    Land an auto after each spell: Searing Brilliance (passive) adds three projectiles to it per spell cast, and enough Overwhelm executes the target.

  3. Reflect their projectiles

    Save Rebuttal (W) for a dangerous projectile: the barrier sends it back to its caster, and you gain a shield and move speed.

  4. Land your snare dead center

    Hit your target head-on with Solar Snare (E): only the core of the orb roots, the aura around it just slows and damages.

  5. Finish from range with your R

    Cast Golden Eclipse (R) to finish from range: it hits every enemy marked by Overwhelm, wherever they are, harder with each stack.

Playing against Ezreal

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Mystic Shot (Q) hits the first enemy, and each time it hits you, all his cooldowns go down.

  2. All-in after his E

    Go all-in when he has used Arcane Shift (E) to move forward: it's his only escape, on a 26 to 14 second cooldown.

  3. Fight head-on

    Look for head-on teamfights, behind your frontline: Mystic Shot (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and Essence Flux (W) on the first champion.

  4. Beware his R at low health

    At low health, beware of Trueshot Barrage (R) even far from him: the shot crosses the whole map and hits every unit in its line.
