Mel Medarda had the worst treatment in LoL history
It really is deeply saddening what they are doing to Mel. I have never seen any League of Legends champion receive such a horrible treatment.
Right now, Mel has absolutely NOTHING going for her. Her damage has been drastically gutted. She lost her only viable rune, since the new Arcane Comet interacts better with range now and guess what? They stripped away her range too.
Mel performs poorly everywhere, across every single elo and in pro play. Most Mel mains who used to play well in high elo have either given up on her or only play casually now. I personally used to be ranked top 8 Mel in the world, but now it is simply not worth playing her under any circumstances, in any lane. You only win games by pure osmosis; you could be playing full attack-speed Yuumi mid and still win under the same conditions.
Unlike other picks like Azir, who is intentionally kept weak so he doesn't dominate pro matches, Mel has never been meta in competitive play,she is just kept absurdly weak
I am absolutely furious about this mistreatment because I genuinely love the champion and bought her skins. According to leaks, she is supposed to get a legendary skin soon. They will probably give her some half-baked buff just to make the mains spend money, only to remove it two patches later.
