Mel vs LeBlanc

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Mel is a medium agency poke mage who wants to control trades by reflecting LeBlanc's key projectiles with W and rooting her to set up poke.
Mel should pressure LeBlanc early to deny her scaling by forcing her to farm under tower and punishing missed W engages.

Trading pattern

Trade by baiting LeBlanc's W into your W to reflect damage and punish cooldown.
Land E root to set up Q poke and apply marks before committing.
Avoid trading when W is down or E misses to prevent being burst down by LeBlanc's mobility and combo.

Danger windows

Mel is vulnerable when W is down and LeBlanc uses W to engage.
Missing E root opens Mel to LeBlanc's burst and mobility.
Marked and low health targets are at risk from Mel's own R if misused, so use R only with lethal pressure.

Early game

Use Q to poke and mark LeBlanc while holding W to reflect her burst combos.
Avoid committing if E root misses, as LeBlanc can engage with W and burst.
Push wave to force LeBlanc under tower, exploiting her low waveclear.

Power spikes

Mel's major spikes: level 6 R for executing marked targets and first completed mage item.
Respect LeBlanc's level 2 burst with LeBlanc Q + LeBlanc W or LeBlanc E.
Respect LeBlanc's level 6 LeBlanc R R for increased burst and mobility.

Win conditions

Win by punishing LeBlanc's missed W with W reflect and E root setups.
Maintain poke pressure with Q and mark stacking to enable lethal R detonations.
Deny LeBlanc safe farming by pushing wave and controlling her return pad to limit her mobility and burst potential.

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