Mel vs Twisted Fate

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Mel controls the lane by punishing Twisted Fate's projectile reliance with W and E roots.
Focus on denying Twisted Fate the passive scaling and roam pressure he wants by maintaining lane presence and mark pressure.

Trading pattern

Trade when Twisted Fate commits a projectile into W, then follow up with E root and Q poke.
Respect Twisted Fate's Gold Card stun range; avoid extended trades without W ready.
Use E to root and set up poke, then consider R only if Twisted Fate is marked and low health.

Danger windows

Mel is vulnerable when W is down, as Twisted Fate can safely trade with Gold Card.
Missing E root leaves Mel open to Twisted Fate's all-in or stun setups.
Twisted Fate's R allows him to create side-lane pressure; hard push and punish his roam attempts.

Early game

Use Q poke to build marks and pressure Twisted Fate before he can safely select Gold Card.
Hold W to reflect Twisted Fate Q projectiles and punish his attempts to trade.
Avoid overcommitting early as Twisted Fate can punish missed E or wasted W cooldowns.

Power spikes

Mel's level 6 R is a major spike for finishing marked targets.
Mel's first completed mage item increases poke and burst threat.
Twisted Fate's level 6 Twisted Fate R enables his roam pressure, so punish lane priority when it's down.

Win conditions

Win by landing E roots to chain poke and build mark stacks for lethal R combos.
Use W to negate Twisted Fate's projectile trades and force him to play cautiously.
Deny Twisted Fate wave control and roam opportunities by maintaining lane pressure and punishing cooldowns.

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