Faker learned this weird Mel interaction the hard way

Mel is the latest League of Legends champion to join the roster and one of her abilities has already sent one of the best players of the title back to the spawn. 

Following Arcane’s huge popularity, League got Mel Medarda as a champion with a defining ability in Rebuttal, where she forms a barrier around herself that reflects enemy projectiles at the attacker. Of course, it can be used against a variety of abilities to nail down the enemy, but it can backfire on her as well. Faker, arguably the greatest esports player of all time, also fell into this trap in his latest match against HLE in the LCK Cup 2024. The five-time World champion chose the solitary mage in his third match against HLE, and it was the first-ever Mel appearance in a professional esports league.
