Mel vs Fizz

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Mel is a ranged mage who must manage W to reflect Fizz's burst projectiles and use E to root him for poke follow-up.
Mel should pressure early to deny Fizz's melee short trades and prevent him from safely reaching kill range.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking with Q and using E to root Fizz before committing damage.
Time W to reflect Fizz Q burst for favorable trades and avoid trading when W is down.
Avoid overcommitting if E misses since Fizz can engage or escape with Fizz E.

Danger windows

Mel is vulnerable when W is on cooldown, as Fizz can burst with Q and W.
Avoid extended trades if E misses, as Fizz can engage with high mobility.
Respect Fizz's level 6 R for kill threat and position accordingly to avoid all-ins.

Early game

Abuse Fizz's weakness before level 3 by stepping up to poke and punish his weak early trades.
Hold W to reflect Fizz's Q engage and avoid wasting it on non-critical spells.
Use E to root Fizz when he tries to dash in, setting up Q poke and mark pressure.

Power spikes

Mel's level 6 R is a major spike to finish marked, low-health Fizz targets.
Mel's first completed mage item improves poke and trade damage significantly.
Respect Fizz's level 3 power spike when he unlocks Q engage, W damage, and E dodge.

Win conditions

Win by landing E roots to set up poke and build marks for lethal R detonations.
Use W to turn Fizz's Q burst against him and control trades.
Deny Fizz safe melee trades by maintaining range and punishing cooldowns before he reaches kill windows.

Tip: For Mel vs Fizz, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
