Let's see here Alistar Azir Braum Ezreal Galio Gnar Gragas Heimerdinger Ivern Janna Kalista Karma Kennen Kindred Lucian Maokai Morgana TahmKench Thresh Tristana Vayne Xayah Zac All these champions make teamfighting as a melee champion impossible because of perma cc or insane mobility.

And yet 1 anti-ranged champion Yasuo and people lose their fucking minds around here.

At least Braum is as anti-ranged as he is anti-melee; if he wants to screw over somebody, he screws over everybody instead.

Maokai is also similar in that regard.

To be honest, anyone with any kind of CC is going to be an ''anti melee'' because melees have to walk up to their enemies to attack them.

honestly melee champions are there to either soak up dmg for their carries or split push, riot pretty much ruined the fighter class unless you play Yasuo and Yi which have an easier time teamfighting as melee champions.

Ez doesnt belong on your list, hes not thst mobile and he doesnt have much ms for an adc. Ivern enables melees with his root. Anivia and Ashe could go on your list too, all though they dont bother mobile melees so much.

and?

It's been pretty clear that the only way to make melee carries work (in a non dota fashion) is to shove their kit full of projectile destruction, obscene CC, or frames of invulnerability.

If your abilities work to shut down ranged, it will also shut down melee.

You're missing Lissandra who when strong pretty much bullies out the entirety of the top lane melee roster.

azir is a control mage, he isn't ''anti-melee'' per-se but he is anti ''this little place right here'' it just seems more effective against melee because he has self peel with his ulti, but he usually uses that as an insec, not a self peel tool

item 3111 item 3800 item 3102 item 3814 summoner 6 Olaf Akali Maokai Malphite Vi Nocturne Kled All these champions/ items make teamfighting as a melee champion easier because of cc immunity or insane mobility.

But really playing around cooldowns help as well.

Thresh is way more pro-melee than he is anti melee

his entire kit is perfect for gapclosing a melee champion (like your jungler) directly onto a ranged champion.

Ivern is in the same regard and you could even consider TahmKench for being pro-melee.

Karma Alistar Morgana Kalista and Gragas also have good tools for helping their melee teammates do their jobs.
