Since Rebuttal seems to be where Riot draws the line when it comes to Mel - How can they make her less frustrating (for the people that hate her)?
So to start off - I don't hate Mel, but I do find Rebuttal to be the most disgusting ability in the game. Do I ban Mel? Not really - but every ranked game I still play they still ban her in like, 50% of the lobbies I'm in.
It really makes me wonder that since the champ is gutted / mostly gunned down because she's proplay jailed like K'Sante is - does removing her execute, changing up Q and E move the needle anymore?
I feel like for the playerbase itself, her Rebuttal seems to be the most debated ability in the game if they should allow it to exist or not. It's not that Riot hasn't taken notice or given out multiple statements about it yet, but what can they actually do if they're so stubborn on keeping her Rebuttal what it is?
In my honest opinion - I hate Zoe more than Mel. Infinitely I feel more tilted playing against a Zoe than a Mel, and Zoe is pretty okay I guess rn, but in pro play she's kinda reserved as someone's emergency pocket pick.
I do agree with Riot that they need to be firm on her W - but what can they actually do that could lessen the player frustration/champion hate campaign around her? Like surely they're not just gonna kick the can further down the road and release just a more disgusting champion that takes all the attention away from Mel? /s
