Mel exists. Me: talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
I don't normally comment on videos but when you got so excited and adorable and said "I like being talked to" I HAD TO RUN HERE. PRECIOUS ANGEL - I love your gameplay and Mel looks incredible.
I think the W, in an all-in scenario, is meant to help her to safely get into auto attack range to make use of her passive 9 extra stacks for her ult etc.
From watching this, the fact that you can be cc’d during w is definitely something to note in countering her. I feel like her having a root is a bit much. Kinda wish it was a slow instead to help make her goal of kiting you with high range less powerful and have her absolute get out of jail free card w be what she has to lean on soley and not hard cc as a backup.
15:47 made me spit out my pepsi all over my keyboard and clothes. I would not have expected the Briar Ult to be turned like that. It makes me so curious how future interactions are going to look like.
Not only do you reflect their abilities, it also applies the item that the enemy was using to that attack. For example, the Seraphine got hit once with her E but it rooted her, since she has Rylais
Im having flashback of u trying out seraphine, and saying omg she's crazy, just so whe forced into the supp category. Im so afraid they do the same with Mel.
ERIICKKKK OMG its been a while since i’ve watched one of your vids! came from the twitter video hehe also I love how Mel W is just “what the hell, sure” as an ability
It looks like a newer varient of Syndra just instead of more dmg on syn W she has more peel with reflect but a semi worse E. Range looks similar on Q, maybe bit longer on Mel. R is used for mass of dmg/execute, Q for poke on short cd, W is dmg/slow for syn while its self peel for Mel. E is a root primarily on mel but a knockback and stun for Syn. I like it, just will probably need tweaks on numbers like Syndra got
Goodness gracious players having trigger finger with her W will cause unending amount of funny deaths for her because she reflected grappling like abilities like briars R.
HI Erick, not trying to be obnoxious but if u look at the passive on top of enemies, there are 2 types of marks, the first small one and a bigger one, once the bigger one appears it means that they will die from your ult (by adding its own dmg + blowing up the passive), hope this helps. I want to clarify im not 100% sure since it isnt mentioned anywhere but im 99% sure it works like that (by looking at several footage).
✨my new main✨, ALSO, your hair in this video served, do you think Mel’s W is balanced or needs some more tweaking. Also do you know when she releases to live servers
Yo, can we get a video about the Arcane Councilor Mel skin? I lowkey wish it was her base skin so I wouldn’t have to buy it, hahaha. Honestly, she doesn’t feel like one of those "200 years" champs to me. The only thing that worries me is the early execute-it’s kinda busted. Either they should remove it entirely or at least tone it down in the early game. Rito just dropped her champion spotlight and yes, she's an artillery mage.
idk i want her w to be put on her passive, this is just me dreaming ig hahaha passive could be when she receives fatal damage (would have cd ofc) she would gain a shield and removes cc (refering to how she removes leblanc's chains in arcane) for sec that reflect enemy projectiles (arcane reference) and/or parry enemy attacks. parried enemies (melee) would be stunned. when triggered she would gain decaying movement speed. shield should be big enough so that allies near her would be saved... a bit too much ig hahaha keeping her q but would be instead skill shot, marks enemies dealing continuous damage and slowing them. her new W would be like targeted syndra W lingering for 1.5sec (check ekkological doom bot lux), in a way it can refract her Q (amplifying the range, hitbox, damage), and/or momentarily (successful=consumed) reflect enemy projectiles. could be stacked 3 times (per level of ult= lvl 1 increase stack by 1, lvl 2 increase stack by 1 again, lvl 3, reduce cd) E would be shield on allies, or when used on marked enemies by Q would point-click root them (arcane reference again hahaha). ult would make her gain buff and temporary boost on her basic skills. (she glows gold) and when passive is triggered would reset her ult. q lowered cd and increased slow w would gain lower cd e increased shield, stuns marked enemies this would create her supp/ control mage HAHAHAHA
you said you read everycomment, therefore, i want you to read me wishing you an excellent day. also, funfact about mel passive: the execute is magic damage. the reason this matters is, despite being an execute, it is affected by MR, meaning that despite how it may initially seem, its not actually that insane against tanks, unless given much time to free stack. because of that, its mathematically better on squishy champions. between it being affected by mr, and being a flat amount.
After playing her all day I gotta say I do NOT think the semi-invulnerability on W will be staying hooooly moly it's so busted. Even against non-projectiles like Lux ult if you just hold it the ult will never do any damage to you. Not to mention when you have high AH it goes down to just 10 seconds CD at rank 5 and doesn't have a mana cost either??? Omg I love Mel but no way is this gonna be balanced I fear 😅 She essentially feels like an artillery mage that specializes in executing everyone, and oh yea she pretty much has a better version of Fizz E late game like whaaaaat
Syndra stun does not work because they are separate abilities. Syndra places the orb and throws it away with her E. If you get hit by this throwing, you get stunned. When you use Mel W, you only reflect the orb, not the throwing or syndra E, that's why you can't stun syndra by reflecting
Amazing video ! I love mel and i tried playing her in swiftplay on pbe but when i try to select her, she doesn't appear on the champions list even though i own her, does anyone know how to fix this pls ?
Omg you're fast and I'm so hype for mel definitely gonna main her but for me she seems fine, her ap scaling ratios are not above 50% for every ability (not all combined but single instant burst i mean), her execution threshold is countered by shield unlike pyke and reset after you kill the ennemi, her w is 1 second lasted only defensive ability and very high cd, so in my opinion she won't be super op but strong. if you disagree feel free to say why I like debating :)
The execute as a passive looks so broken, and so easy to play, thats insane damage 😕 But she looks so fun though... Very fluid spells and animation, crazy range. I though her identity was gonna revolve around her reflect (very cool) or shielding, but instead she is almost pure insane damage. She really said to all long range mages "Move over peasants, is Noxus season"
Idk about being a bad support though.. she can reflect most bot lane support ults and has Poke of her own, as well as a CC. Might be a better support than xerath tbh. Also can’t wait for keria Mel support in LCK
Yeah, I tried her and you can use the shield as Braum, just putting you between the adc and the enemy. Also the shield is big enough and gives you some speed buff so is kinda easier to get in the middle. I think she can be viable more than we think 😊
@@Huesobigotudo As a support, reflecting a couple AAs in an early fight is a game changer, she'll be hella powerful in botlane (I think as both supp and APC).
It's sad that she's not a support champion, even though she could be. Her abilities, like the W, could be shared with allies/teammates, similar to what she did for Caitlyn in Arcane.
mel helps people but in arcane she goes on her OWN journey and her own way of self discovery it wouldnt make sense for her character to have abilities that went on other people i do appreciate they have allowed her the ability to go support though!
Mel exists.
Me: talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
We want Star Guardian Mel, Coven Mel, Battle Queen Mel, Heartbreaker Mel, Cafe Cuties Mel, Crime City Nightmare Mel, Debonair Mel, Crystal Rose Mel, Withered Rose Mel, Elementalist Mel, Cosmic Mel, Dark Star Mel, Broken Covenant Mel, Battle Academia Mel, High Noon Mel, Immortal Journey Mel, Porcelain Mel, Blood Moon Mel, Snow Moon Mel, Fright Night Mel, PsyOps Mel, DJ Mel, K/DA Mel, Soul Fighter Mel, Space Groove Mel, Spirit Blossom Mel, Mythmaker Mel, La Ilusión Mel, Bewitching Mel, Winterblessed Mel, Victorious Mel, Faerie Queen Mel and T1 Mel.
this is so real 😭😭😭
you get it!
Her silhouette is something I NEEDED in league for a long time. God her dress and model shape in game is soo Cvnty 😭🙏
mel would be so perfect for another elementalist skin, especially an ultimate. they can do 3 form skins for 250$ sooo…
You get it
As soon as she did this in Arcane I KNEW they were going to make this happen in League
Not me laughing on a bus full of people when you reflected the Briar ult
I don't normally comment on videos but when you got so excited and adorable and said "I like being talked to" I HAD TO RUN HERE. PRECIOUS ANGEL - I love your gameplay and Mel looks incredible.
“as i post this i should be live streaming” about that
The lies
it was a lie y’all
0:33 the creator said she’s created to be mid/support just mid prioritized
but yh like u said i hope she’s gonna be cool as a support i love her sm
I want A LOT more videos of you playing her, I love watching you and she is so nice ! Please upload a few more mel videos !
I think the W, in an all-in scenario, is meant to help her to safely get into auto attack range to make use of her passive 9 extra stacks for her ult etc.
It ends up reflecting more damage than the original spell based on the AP you have
nah i think its 40% +(0.05 of ap) so you would need 1200 ap to deal 100% of the ability
@@georgezebega7957 it scales when u put points in it
@@georgezebega7957 no, its over 600 ap for over 100%
40% at rank 1, 70% at max
@@aalzien722 yeah ,my bad
The creator of Mel needs an award 🥇 he ATE! Love you Erick!
I am soooo happy her sason 1 look will be a skin I was so worried that it wouldn't be! I love that look so much
From watching this, the fact that you can be cc’d during w is definitely something to note in countering her. I feel like her having a root is a bit much. Kinda wish it was a slow instead to help make her goal of kiting you with high range less powerful and have her absolute get out of jail free card w be what she has to lean on soley and not hard cc as a backup.
I love her so much, the design and her dress is so good
2:52 trying to see the W range and accidentally casting it
Erick : that’s my W there, crazy ability 😁
yes we want video with her season 1 outfit tysm yes okay? yes ty ok
"I feel like I'm doing so much damage already and I have no items"
Modern League Of Legends in a nutshell
Wow! It’s like you’ve been maining Mel forever!
15:47 made me spit out my pepsi all over my keyboard and clothes. I would not have expected the Briar Ult to be turned like that. It makes me so curious how future interactions are going to look like.
Mother is hereeee, I live her and her kit! 💙😍
Mel looks like so much fun to play. She's going to be the aram queen!
As soon as I saw Mel for the first time in Arcane I wanted her in game! She's so beautiful and I love her character in Arcane she's amazing
Mother is mothering, im excited to have another artillery mage maybe lux can take a break
Not only do you reflect their abilities, it also applies the item that the enemy was using to that attack. For example, the Seraphine got hit once with her E but it rooted her, since she has Rylais
I literally didn't wanted to watch anybody's video because i was WAITING FOR YOURS!!!!! I love your videos Erick!! One day i want to play with you!!!
The briar ult was SO FUNNY
Im having flashback of u trying out seraphine, and saying omg she's crazy, just so whe forced into the supp category. Im so afraid they do the same with Mel.
ERIICKKKK OMG its been a while since i’ve watched one of your vids! came from the twitter video hehe
also I love how Mel W is just “what the hell, sure” as an ability
15:45 HELP I laughed so much at this🤣
Always good to see you Erick!!

The ultimate mind game, intentionally ulting her from under tower so either way, she's screwed lmao
Good Mels will know when to just side step
The way almost all range mages gonna cry on Mel matchup... (Me too honestly)

what can i say i am loving the path league is going through so far
Welcome back erick! We missed you.
Yo, can we get a video about the Arcane Councilor Mel skin? I lowkey wish it was her base skin so I wouldn’t have to buy it, hahaha. Honestly, she doesn’t feel like one of those "200 years" champs to me. The only thing that worries me is the early execute-it’s kinda busted.

Ercik you have to try her support with her Arcane skin... maybe with Imperial Mandate or a full burn build?
I love how when Mel reflects an ability back it turns gold
i fear i was fighting for my life the last half of the game 😭😭😭❤️
Hi Erick! Wow that Q has a huge range for an ability with almost no cast and travel time. So far the craziest thing about her kit 😅
Having smolder execution at lvl 1 is crazy too
Amazing video Erick!! ♥♥♥♥♥
i think the execution works also on minions and epic monster (?) but lower scaling ig or is it bugged?
idk i want her w to be put on her passive, this is just me dreaming ig hahaha
passive could be when she receives fatal damage (would have cd ofc) she would gain a shield and removes cc (refering to how she removes leblanc's chains in arcane) for sec that reflect enemy projectiles (arcane reference) and/or parry enemy attacks. parried enemies (melee) would be stunned. when triggered she would gain decaying movement speed. shield should be big enough so that allies near her would be saved... a bit too much ig hahaha
keeping her q but would be instead skill shot, marks enemies dealing continuous damage and slowing them.
her new W would be like targeted syndra W lingering for 1.5sec (check ekkological doom bot lux), in a way it can refract her Q (amplifying the range, hitbox, damage), and/or momentarily (successful=consumed) reflect enemy projectiles. could be stacked 3 times (per level of ult= lvl 1 increase stack by 1, lvl 2 increase stack by 1 again, lvl 3, reduce cd)
E would be shield on allies, or when used on marked enemies by Q would point-click root them (arcane reference again hahaha).
ult would make her gain buff and temporary boost on her basic skills. (she glows gold) and when passive is triggered would reset her ult.
q lowered cd and increased slow
w would gain lower cd
e increased shield, stuns marked enemies
this would create her supp/ control mage HAHAHAHA
you said you read everycomment, therefore, i want you to read me wishing you an excellent day.
also, funfact about mel passive: the execute is magic damage. the reason this matters is, despite being an execute, it is affected by MR, meaning that despite how it may initially seem, its not actually that insane against tanks, unless given much time to free stack.

She's gonna get a Tahm Kench treatment where they swap then skill order.
10 seconds???? Gurl bye it's gonna get doubled lmao
She's getting a rework in less than 6 months, her entire kit is just too strong 😂
3:42 erick clocking the girls
i think dark harvest would go crazy on mel bc of the passive
LETS GOO, FINALLY SOMETHING FOR THE GAAAYSSS
Yeah, when they said male enchanter I thought we were finally getting a fem dude lol. But oh well there's always next (this) year 🍽
NOT ME JUST REALIZING HER W IS THE SAME SHAPE AS ZELDAS REFLECT IN SUPER SMASH BROS
so she’s gonna be my new main, got it (added to the pool)
Syndra stun does not work because they are separate abilities. Syndra places the orb and throws it away with her E. If you get hit by this throwing, you get stunned. When you use Mel W, you only reflect the orb, not the throwing or syndra E, that's why you can't stun syndra by reflecting
"Executes, Global Ults, Reflect Projectiles."
If you said this to a League player 12 years ago they would have a stroke.
Oh that Q interaction with Comet?? Am I blind or each tick of Q lowers comet's cooldown
Oh me oh my...
12:26 you problably didnt know that, but mel os honey in portuguese XD she's in everywhere
About goddamn time u uploaded
Riot adding execute to a new champ’s PASSIVE after removing Seraphine’s bonus dmg on Q is a crazy choice
15:43
LMFAAAOOOOOO NAH I CANNOT WAIT for her to come to wild rift (i dont play league)
She is literally the Lux of Noxus lmao 😍
Love her!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ can't wait!! Ahhhhh
Thank you for the upload love your videos!!!
Please make a video for the skin, first time I saw your channel and loved it
So sad i missed this on PBE, maybe next time
I truly wanted a another male artillery mage. But Mel is such a baddie that it doesn't matter. look how she walk man.
Is it just me, or did Mel W reflect Sera's auto at 4:36?
its safe to say i will be retiring from league of legends and only consuming content via erick dota's channel
Im pissed she didnt release in wild rift
Damn, as many kills as minutes in the video 😮
Do anyone kown the exact date shes coming out to our serves?
Amazing video ! I love mel and i tried playing her in swiftplay on pbe but when i try to select her, she doesn't appear on the champions list even though i own her, does anyone know how to fix this pls ?

For me, gameplay wise, she is the perfect blend of zoe and senna. And i love it so much.
If possible, I would love to see her lane vs Zoe
Omg this champion 😂😂 my new main :D love it❤
I’m surprised she doesn’t have a shield ability. I really thought she would.
Nevertheless it’s a cool kit and I’m so happy she’s playable in game.
The execute as a passive looks so broken, and so easy to play, thats insane damage 😕 But she looks so fun though... Very fluid spells and animation, crazy range. I though her identity was gonna revolve around her reflect (very cool) or shielding, but instead she is almost pure insane damage.

mel existing *uno reverse*
Close enough, welcome back seraphine mid
This made me lol 😭😭😭
She’s definitely going to be meta on support calling it no. Doesn’t need gold to do damage. Has good poke and range. Also very strong utility.
I would agree if not that she would steal every kill in bot lane and all her adcs will rage lool
Hear me out. Mel adc.....
She will be meta as an APC and be completely destroyed because of it
Imagine 2 Mels in Urf just bouncing their E to each other 😂
does pyke execute through mel sheild?
Pyke ult ignores any shields anyway, and it is not a projectile so it cannot be deflected
@@kasmeneyes2227 It ignores shields, not invulnerabilities. Fiora can Parry Pyke's ult, so I imagine Mel can block it (but not deflect it)
i kind of think aery instead of comet could work given how low cooldown her Q is, specially against melee lanes
I am SOOOOO playing her support and no one will ever stop me
I would love to see mel skin gameplay
So basically her w does more than whole master's keybord...
Idk about being a bad support though.. she can reflect most bot lane support ults and has Poke of her own, as well as a CC. Might be a better support than xerath tbh. Also can’t wait for keria Mel support in LCK

I want to call bs on her kit but I can’t because that dress in motion is EVERYTHING. Also literally a Zelda B in Smash Bros is the W
scream at 11:02 is classic !!!
OMG IS THAT MEL FROM ARCANE?
It was very good, I loved it, I hope to buy her skin
How dare u to not show us the emotes of herr. Also i love love her default skin and her skin. amazing video and wp :3
It's sad that she's not a support champion, even though she could be. Her abilities, like the W, could be shared with allies/teammates, similar to what she did for Caitlyn in Arcane.
mel helps people but in arcane she goes on her OWN journey and her own way of self discovery it wouldnt make sense for her character to have abilities that went on other people i do appreciate they have allowed her the ability to go support though!
she has a root so shes like zyra,brand,xerath,velkoz etc. deffo playable as support, even tho I wouldve loved a more support focused kit shield/heal
@uggo7446 plus that's the show, heck in tft she's a damage dealer so she always had been intended to deal damage
She really gagged with her grand opening
Mel looks so fun, but I know shes going to be perma banned until she doesnt do much damage anymore.
She is what Lux wish she was, obviously a skin selling champ
i feel like she may struggle against all in champs
You are correct, I will be playing her supp🙂↕️❤ if I make Xerath work I'll MAKE her work🤣
Shes the new member of kda
they need to lower how she stacks passive, lower her execution in early games, and nerf her Q dmg.
This champ wont be available in any of my games
