LOL brings new champion Mel, but the players are blaspheming about the “magician for babies”

A new champion in League of Legends was rarely hated with the players as the number 170, Mel – the reflection of the soul. Mel is not perceived as too strong in LOL, but as too “easy”: that is a magician for toddlers, is complained. Players feel offended in their honor.

This is mel: Mel Medarda is to be played as a magician/support and her level of difficulty is classified by Riot as a “medium”.

The champ came to LOL on January 23, 2025, its skills concentrated on direct damage: she conjures up projectiles that shoots on her enemies. It is a “direct kit” without many hinges.

For the release, the heroine was perceived by the community as too strong and there was so much grumbling that Riot Games gave in after just a few days and already played a first nerf.

Feedback is so negative that Riot Games has to nerfen

What is the problem with Mel? Currently, even after the nerf, Mel is only classified as a D animal with a win rate of 49.26 % with a win rate of 49.26 %. However, it has an enormously high ban rate of 64.1 %.

Mel is in a special situation. Because objective, according to the numbers, it is not that strong. But it is perceived as “too easy to play”. The comments on Mel read as follows:

  • She is a “magician for toddlers”
  • It is “giga broken” or “absurd strong”
  • Her skills are “too powerful and let too much scope for mistakes of the player”

    • Magician for toddlers

    That is the criticism of a player of Mel: A thread on Reddit, which has 2.5K upvotes and 622 comments, lists her problems in the eyes of a player:

    It was too easy to land with her last hits. She would have a huge advantage over any other magician.

    In the Lane you cannot avoid your Q, he has no cast time. In the laning phase, she could therefore terrorize the opponent with her Q all day. Melee fighter would have to swallow their Q constantly if they want to beat a servant.

    Most champs would have to pay close attention to their rotation if they want to optimally use their passive damage and “weave” corresponding skills into their rotation. Mel does not have to pay attention to this.

    The Ultimate of Mel is “totally crazy” and clubs the Ultis of Syndra, Darius and Garen. You don’t have to be able to do anything for the Ultimate, just press the button.

    Her whole kit has so much “ski-free shit” that it is the “down sum”, which is otherwise so difficult to play.

    Mel is the new Yuumi in Lol

    That is behind it: It sounds something as if the “honor of the magicians” is at risk here, because LOL players are proud of their skill. Mel seems to suffer from the same problems as the cat Yuumi: It was also so easy to play that some even demanded their deletion: One of the best players in the world demands Riot should extinguish a champ completely from LOL
