So she has a built in execute, a snare with a giant radius that goes through minions, a projectile reflecting shield that makes her invulnerable, a long range bombardment spell, and her ulti nukes anyone with stacks on them. She's strong, but I'm glad she doesn't have any mobility.
i mean i don't want to defend her because she does seem extremely strong, but you can describe almost any character's kit in this style and it will sound busted. she needs drawn out fights to stack up the passiveyo do any meaningful damage, any assassin can instadelete her (no mobility) if they wait out the very short reflect duration, or even ignore it if they dont use important projectiles. the ulti needs stacks on champions to do anything. i think she has very glaring weaknesses and very apparent strenghts, but i don't think she's as busted as other previous releases by far, but we'll have to see since battle mages (which i'm assuming is the way she's supposed to be build) often err on the stronger side
@@ominoustincho also tanks will be strong against her since she cannot escape and the reflect will not work on 90% of tank abilities, and since everyone and their mother is gonna play tanks this meta she def won't be that crazy strong I think
AND the execute works on minions so she has giga wave clear and she can force an ultra-passive lane AND crazy range AND her q is like instant with no real indicator
for people that don't know, anyone that uses briar ult that isn't briar can still cancel her passive with E. this is how sylas cancels briar passive. mel just needs to cast E to cancel briar passive too
hi yozu!! I'm glad I made it early finally I just wanted to say I literally haven't quit league yet because of you and i've mained lux after watching all of your videos! I love them so much and it inspires me to be better. Keep up the great workkk!!
Need to group up both teams relatively close, with each Mel in front. Both teams throw all abilities and the two Mels close range ping pong back and forth a dozen+ times
This champ is going to be sooo popular. She's simple, fun, kinda broken rn 😅 and pretty and from Arcane. She gives me painful flashbacks from Yasuo's windwall (and her W is arguably even more obnoxious), but since she's a lot more up my alley than Yasuo (or I guess Samira), my excitement to play her is outweighing any negativity about her W
I think the W should last less to be more difficult to use, like 0.5 seconds. Her W is an instant invulnerability for 1 second with a 15 second cooldown, which not only nullifies but also returns basically anything thrown at her. Simply broken.
Did you try to reflect Aurelion sol ult that cover terrain ? Or to reflect fiddlestick ult ? Samira ult ? Katarina ult ? Lux ult ? Panth ult ? Kayle ult ? Fizz ult ? Cait ult ? 😂😂
Anyone know how the interaction between something like syndra and mel works, if syndra is ulting someone else (not mel)? Like can you still reflect it upon syndra? Or not since the spell didn't target mel?
I similarly think I'm going to main this new champion. At least until she inevitable gets nerfed into the ground. (thinking that her w will reflect only 1 projectile or something)
Her skin looks like it should be her base. Like, I know why it isn't, but that's the design that everyone associates with her. It's her "default" look because it's her Arcane skin and she was in Arcane first. Her base is really throwing me off.
riot releasing mel in the same patch as the new sera skin is diabolical… how can i play sera when mels gonna get picked every game and is gonna uno reverse card my ult omg 😭 its like a sylas malphite situation also i wonder if mel can heal from reflecting soraka q since apparently she gets the shield from reflecting lux w…. mel has soooo much outplay potential its insane
i wanna main her SOOOOO MUCH I really can't wait thay i am literally searching how to apply for a PBE account She's so cool though a bit too powerf, i think her passive should be nerfed but overall even with the crazy w, i really do think she's balanced
Im banning mel on site, at least for yasuo and samira their windwalls just block so you can chill after your binds/cc hits, mel straight up punishes you for hitting skillshots.
personally, i wish her w would just absorb the first skill shot hit and allow you to recast it yourself like a Sylas ultimate so she had more skill expression. I love Mel as a character and I hate how easy mode they made her entire kit :/
Nobody who actually plays at high ELO would think a sylas ultimate type reflect would take MORE skill This requires significantly more thought out timing and can be baited out much easier by opponents
23:42 this is how fast yozu buys when theres a new lux skin
FR 😂
ashe's "HELP" after enemy mel missed her w is so funny to me for some reason
i peed myselffff i was laughing so hard
always wondered how Lux would be with a modern kit, know we finaly get to see. new Lux skin is great as well
and it only costs blue essence :3
@@Ikari1212 true. a real steal for such a banger skin

she gains mov speed i think.
Her mother took all the mobility, there was nothing left for her.

33:30 NO NO NO GET OUT OF MY HEAD
You won't believe i was coming searching for a new video for u to see.. was having a bad dreams and came to calm a bit here
I'm glad you uploaded noww
Same
her R will get nerfed for sure
just let her passive fall off :)
Her R will refresh each kill. 😂 JUST KIDDING!
Lower duration to balance
I don’t think it needs it
The long lost snare sister has arrived
for people that don't know, anyone that uses briar ult that isn't briar can still cancel her passive with E. this is how sylas cancels briar passive. mel just needs to cast E to cancel briar passive too
OMG the enemy mel sent me real hard. it was even funnier on stream xD
lux saying "she was a fairy" sent me

2:16 LMFAO I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT
Mel's reflect reminds of princess Zelda's reflect in smash. It's basically 1to1 lol
Yozu getting clocked 1v1 mid, Ping-Pong in league, 5v5 practice tool. This is TOO FUNNYYYY 😭😭😭😭
The way she reflects the Lux W and the Ashe Hawk that's hilarious
Need to group up both teams relatively close, with each Mel in front. Both teams throw all abilities and the two Mels close range ping pong back and forth a dozen+ times
Imagine in Ultimate spellbook her ult with Karthus ult
That Akali in the first game has no idea how towers works
executing on level 7 with just lost chapter is absolutely diabolical
This champ is going to be sooo popular. She's simple, fun, kinda broken rn 😅 and pretty and from Arcane.
She gives me painful flashbacks from Yasuo's windwall (and her W is arguably even more obnoxious), but since she's a lot more up my alley than Yasuo (or I guess Samira), my excitement to play her is outweighing any negativity about her W
IMAGINE Mel being able to block Camille's dash and she just ends up dashing back to the wall.
ive never had so much fun watching league gameplay lol mel is such an unserious champ
29:17 200 years of collective game design
they’re definitely gonna change it so her execute unlocks with level 2 or 3 ult lol there’s no way they just keep it as a passive
How did you manage to pick mel in Swiftplay please ? i tried to do so but mel doesn't appear in the champions list even though i own her
33:29 say that again???
That was such a fun video!! So much excitement for season 15!!
ABHH YOZU THIS IS SO COOL!!!! Love the vid thanks for having me on stream today!!!
I wish i could have seen the Taliyah R interaction too, as a main Taliyah i'm kinda worried, i need help to sleep now
Yozu started World War III at the end 🤣this was such a fun video omg can't wait to play Mel
I think the W should last less to be more difficult to use, like 0.5 seconds. Her W is an instant invulnerability for 1 second with a 15 second cooldown, which not only nullifies but also returns basically anything thrown at her. Simply broken.
it's a 30 sec cooldown
@draculajinnie5306 Only in early game, as the game advances she gets CDR items after all.
She's a battle mage
if it's too hard to use then low skill level players wouldn't find the appeal to play her
@draculajinnie5306 Only in the early game
She doesn't have a single dash and has below average movement speed--she's not broken in any way.
This vid came FASTTTT. props to the editor
Did you try to reflect Aurelion sol ult that cover terrain ? Or to reflect fiddlestick ult ? Samira ult ? Katarina ult ? Lux ult ? Panth ult ? Kayle ult ? Fizz ult ? Cait ult ? 😂😂
It's everything that gets blocked by windwall, so a sol, fiddle, lux, panth and Kayle won't get reflected
16:58 he doesn't want to show missing canons
Anyone know how the interaction between something like syndra and mel works, if syndra is ulting someone else (not mel)? Like can you still reflect it upon syndra? Or not since the spell didn't target mel?
Where did you get your wallpaper? It looks so beautiful
I similarly think I'm going to main this new champion.
At least until she inevitable gets nerfed into the ground.
(thinking that her w will reflect only 1 projectile or something)
Rebuttal needs so minor nerf. Maybe just rebut projectiles but not waves (like Renata and Nami ult). It's a standard ability hard countering ults.
Intro Song is goated
It reflect the hawk to?
her with morgana or lux bot would be unstoppable
Her skin looks like it should be her base. Like, I know why it isn't, but that's the design that everyone associates with her. It's her "default" look because it's her Arcane skin and she was in Arcane first. Her base is really throwing me off.
That's ...the idea
Her base is meant to be her NOW, now that she's back in noxus
23:40 LMAO
the fact that your comet proc almost 2 times in a row at 9:24 because the projectiles decrease its cd is kinda op
27:33 second time mel misses the w I started cackling so hard
She can used as support too in words of her creatos, and they even expect it.
I wish I didn't have to defend this champion design, but it is really great actually. Annoying, but balanced.
Can you play Mel APC w Ashe support?
riot releasing mel in the same patch as the new sera skin is diabolical… how can i play sera when mels gonna get picked every game and is gonna uno reverse card my ult omg 😭 its like a sylas malphite situation
also i wonder if mel can heal from reflecting soraka q since apparently she gets the shield from reflecting lux w…. mel has soooo much outplay potential its insane
Ban
That Mel gapped you dear lord. Mel does look fun tho
I am so in Love, Lux mains will love mel
Her w is a panth e that also reflects it makes her not take damage and it is so bad
she seems far more balanced then aurora thats a big plus in my book
A new supreme has rrived
imagine one for all with mel lmao the pingpong
That's just lotus orb for one person lol
19:35 this is so IRONIC ahahhaa
Where is your whale background from?
i got my new perma ban champ 100% since my champs mostly use projectiles types spells
Can you try nashors tooth?:D
maybe works better as apc in bot lane, cuz with soraka was a nie duo
the real mother
this remind me to zelda repel shield from smash brothers :3
Not you lying to the creator of Mel telling him he did a good job when he created an OP monstrosity
OMG this was so funny😂 and I also decided it will my new main after Lux 🤣
mel is gonna break this game
Her W should be renamed to plot armor.
15:18 PIngpong ahh game
you also reflect lux shield
Why would I play her when I can just play Syndra? She's pretty much outclassed by Syndra in terms of execution damage.
What about camille E
Gurl what? Mel is broken af. She'll also get nerfed af...
i wanna main her SOOOOO MUCH
I really can't wait thay i am literally searching how to apply for a PBE account
She's so cool though a bit too powerf, i think her passive should be nerfed but overall even with the crazy w, i really do think she's balanced
Mel missing her W im dying 😂😂😂
I HOPE WE GET A LEGENDARY COVEN MEL SKIN PLSSPLSPSLSLLSs its a need
Riot will for SUREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE change the ability to reflect everything i think :c its so fun but i think they will balance it
Reflect blitzcrack q XD
after this champ i am deleting the game :3
They need to rework her w bc its way too op and adds too much pressure for a basic ability 😭
Im banning mel on site, at least for yasuo and samira their windwalls just block so you can chill after your binds/cc hits, mel straight up punishes you for hitting skillshots.
If u new main Is Mel how about Lux @Yozu Lux
The only things they perfected are how to release a broken champ no one will enjoy playing against and gaggy champ models
peak cancer, Kassadin needs to return to full power to save this season
In The history of league all new champs go stupid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Woo early, thanks for the video, Yozu ❤
Cinema
hawk to her
Why is he playing in like Iron.
The thing is she is kinda bad vs tanky characters she doesnt have % dmg
hmm yes, NO ONE is playing this in my games, not an ally not an enemie
YOZUUU I LOVE YOU 👄
personally, i wish her w would just absorb the first skill shot hit and allow you to recast it yourself like a Sylas ultimate so she had more skill expression. I love Mel as a character and I hate how easy mode they made her entire kit :/

hope She gets nerfed, the execute should be removed
Mel TFT looks better lol
first give me free coaching cuh
I stopped coaching a while ago 😭😭
she gives old karma's model
Yo first comment 😂
Bro she is so boring...she has 0 mechanics???
