These two mid lane titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Even tiers, uneven results: Both champions sit at C-tier, but Yone claims a meaningful 52.7% vs 47.4% advantage. Yone's kit synergizes better in this specific head-to-head matchup. Silver lining: While Yone's 46.5% overall win rate (55th among Mid) struggles in the current meta, this matchup against Mel offers a bright spot for dedicated players. Optimize for consistency: Lethal Tempo paired with Triumph (64.0% win rate, 1.4% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Blade of The Ruined King > Infinity Edge > Immortal Shieldbow with Berserker's Greaves delivers 61.8% win rate against Mel.
Lane dominance: Yone not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (7.80/min vs 7.01 for Mel). This 0.79 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Quality over quantity: Yone wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (730 vs 917/min), the 52.7% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Intriguing anomaly: Yone wins the matchup (52.7%) despite a lower KDA (1.60 vs 2.40). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.
The Yone versus Mel matchup in the mid lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Yone deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Mel deals primarily magic damage (90.36%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Yone is higher farming statistics (ranked 4th among role champions) (versus 14th for Mel), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.4 versus 1.6) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Yone 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.
