Annie vs Mel

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use (R) to find picks and follow with (Q) + (W) burst and stun to snowball lane.
Deny Mel safe poke to prevent her from marking you for (R) damage.
Manage mana carefully to avoid forced pushes that expose you to all-ins.

Trading pattern

Combo (Q) + (W) with passive stun when (W) reflect is down or baited.
Bait (W) with non-key projectiles before committing to full burst trades.
Avoid trading immediately after missing your stun or if caught by (E) root.

Danger windows

Avoid casting key projectiles into (W) reflect to prevent damage and counter trades.
Be cautious after missing your stun combo or if rooted by (E), as she can follow up.
Stay out of extended trades when marked and low health to avoid (R) burst.

Early game

Farm safely and avoid pushing with (W) to conserve mana against Mel's poke.
Look for (R) picks after level 6 to punish Mel's low mobility.
Track (W) cooldown to identify windows for burst trades.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for strong pick potential and burst damage; use it to force plays.
First completed AP item boosts burst and wave pressure; trade more confidently post-item.
Respect Mel's level 6 (R) spike that can punish marked, low-health targets.

Win conditions

Secure early (R) picks to snowball lane control and open roam opportunities.
Punish (W) cooldown with your (Q) + (W) stun combo for reliable burst trades.
Deny (E) root setups by dodging skillshots and forcing missed poke windows.

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