Gameplay
Where Melody Excels: Melody, like some mages (
,
) excels at defeating diver based champions and abusing short ranged champions like
,
, and most assassins. She is great in teamfights with her empowered abilities providing great setups. Her ult provides blind-attack potential, her W provides escape / engage, her Q provides extra damage, and her E provides her with some slight tankiness / damage.
Where Melody Falls Short: Melody, like the previously mentioned mages, falls short when fighting other long ranged mages like
or
. If used incorrectly, her team-fight potential is utterly wasted. Additionally, Melody has high mana cost on most of her spells, making her casting costly when missing spells. A lot of her damage can be avoid by simple dodging her Q and leaving her W, and not engaging her during teamfights.
