Statistical Matchup Analysis

Miss Fortune maintains steady 6.2% popularity but rarely encounters niche pick Mel (1.1%, 26th place out of 30 ADC champions). While not a priority matchup to study, understanding it protects against off-meta cheese picks that can catch you unprepared. Meta strength confirmed: Miss Fortune's superior tier rating (B+ vs B) translates into a solid 50.9% matchup win rate. This performance explains why Miss Fortune ranks 15th in win rate among ADC champions. Optimize for consistency: First Strike paired with Cash Back (58.8% win rate, 18.6% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Bloodthirster > Infinity Edge > Lord Dominik's Regards with Boots of Swiftness delivers 58.4% win rate against Mel.

Lane dominance: Miss Fortune not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (7.53/min vs 6.21 for Mel). This 1.32 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Quality over quantity: Miss Fortune wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (757 vs 898/min), the 50.9% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Intriguing anomaly: Miss Fortune wins the matchup (50.9%) despite a lower KDA (2.40 vs 2.70). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Mel as Miss Fortune (ADC)

While statistically Miss Fortune is slightly stronger than Mel as ADC, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Miss Fortune deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Mel deals primarily magic damage (91.76%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Miss Fortune is higher farming statistics (ranked 5th among role champions) (versus 27th for Mel), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.7 versus 2.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Miss Fortune ADC versus Mel ADC matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Miss Fortune player to maintain constant pressure on Mel, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Miss Fortune tips:

  • Miss Fortune ramps up speed if she hasn't recently taken damage. Avoid getting hit to move very fast.
  • Use Double Up on the furthest enemy minion if enemy champions are hiding in back; it will bounce to them for lots of damage.
  • Make sure to utilize Love Tap while Strut is on cooldown to maximize the active's availability.

Playing Against Mel

  • Mel can reflect enemy projectiles, including powerful spells. Wait until she casts Rebuttal before throwing powerful projectiles her way.
  • The more Mel hits you, the more Overwhelm stacks she applies. If your health drops too low her next hit will kill you, so back off for a couple seconds to let the Overwhelm stacks fall off.
