In 2014, when League of Legends had a forum where you could suggest champion ideas, my idea of reflecting abilities on the Ultimate was considered too imbalanced by the devs. But in 2025, it's just a W.
And that's how thoughts change over time I suppose. It's not bad conceptually and tbh it shouldn't be overly impactful all things considered. If you're using important cc on a Mel with w up it's not really her fault. It apparently has a 30s cd at rank 1 so it's gonna be used very little in lane and probably maxed last too.
To be fair it is the new mechanic it's just like any spell shield to counter bait it out with something or dodge the reflect with flash or just dodging. It'll fire in whatever direction it needs to hit so it'll be pretty easy to dodge I imagine just change direction or S. We needed an anti dive mage for midlan don't have many of those so she slots nicely into that role. She still a 0 mobility mage so usual counters will still apply and she only got the 1 root that needs to hit the center to root on a slow moving ability. Plus her ult requires previous hits so champ needs setup there. Champ doesn't seem busted to me Def a punishing new mechanic but nothing that screams 200 years to me.
or the fact that champs can be designed where the ultimate is not the star of the show. Kog'maw for example. the champ revolves around its w. Fiora her passive.
Can we appreciate the detail here! They freaking made an orchestral score version of the bite marks track to be consistent with the cinematic trailer. So dope
Despite what some might say about her, I love her unique kit and fits her perfectly 🎉 (It's also roughly showcasing, what we'll see her do in future Arcane seasons. Although, I'm sure they'll make some changes).
@lepouletdemacron7493 No. It only took them a long time for season 1 because they were still figuring out how, what, where, all the logistics, world building, animation time, voice acting, etc. Season 1 came out in 2021 and we got season 2 in 2024 and that was also during Covid-19 years, so I wouldn't be surprised if they drop the new show by the end of next year (2026).
@lepouletdemacron7493 prolly gonna be faster than that cause they heavily invested in the company that made Arcane a thing with them and a lot of the time spent on Arcane was figuring things out, but I don't expect any promising news about a release date earlier than next year, n an actual release probably 2-3 years
definitely will be viable as support also. she can basically save her adc with that deflect. counter both blitz and renata. plus most adc ults are projectiles. cait, jinx, lucian etc
@simonepiroddi3916 vandiril in the comments said 30 secs, so prolly that I hope it doesn't get reduced with levels, but just has a damage amplifier on the reflected spells going higher with lvl or smth, cuz that thing on late game 10-15 sec cd would be toxic
@@lifestealanimations9438The refected spell targets the original caster, so the spell would need to originally come from one of the Mels, it has to be a projectile. Also the CD is 30 sec I think.

@SergeantAveryJohnsonYou really don't see the problem with the champion, do you? Mel can just overlap with an adc lategame and reflect anything. There's no baiting that in a gaming phase where every ult is crucial.
I’m more interested in if she can reflect the chain like how Braum can block them but he gets snatched up instead of the intended target. Reflecting the rocket means nothing if the urgot isn’t already low but reflecting the chain possibly means a kill on a full HP urgot.

@@KlaSiKo4 It looks like it can block multiple skillshots. A good Mel can time it well and stay alive and extend a teamfight. I may be biased cause I play veigar a lot and I do not think I'll enjoy having my ult be blocked in lane or sides everytime.

Yep, it absolutely seems like super cool ability, just the way it probably works right now is ridiculously and stupidly broken.

For those of you who are curious, this is what the show Arcane looks like from the top-down view... it just looks different cuz we, the show viewer, are seeing it from the ground level.
"2025 will change league forever" It's been 2025 for only 9 day and I cannot even recognise league now. It is more runerterra than summoner's rift than ever before
Maybe there should be a new game mode for each season where you can only play champs from that region. Newer players are probably unable to know all the kits so it would be nice for them and there could be a cool lore event attached.
Remember that Mel reflecting abilities is her W - it's not ultimate.
