How to Beat Mel as Senna (Support)

The Senna versus Mel matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Senna deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Mel deals primarily magic damage (89.40%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Mel, ranking 6th (versus 42nd for Senna) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.1 versus 2.7) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Senna Support versus Mel Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Senna 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.

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.
