Faker, the legendary League of Legends player, recently discovered a crucial interaction with new champion Mel's Rebuttal ability during an LCK Cup 2024 match against HLE. This interaction highlights an important mechanic that players should be aware of when using Mel.

Mel's Rebuttal ability creates a barrier that reflects enemy projectiles back at attackers. However, during the match, Faker learned that using Rebuttal against Sylas's Abduct (E) ability can backfire dangerously. When Faker attempted to reflect Sylas's chains, instead of protecting himself, he was pulled under the enemy tower, resulting in his death.

Key points about Mel's Rebuttal:

• Works effectively against standard projectiles like hooks from Blitzcrank and Pyke
• Can backfire against certain abilities like Sylas's E, which uses a different pulling mechanic
• Has a relatively short cooldown, making it tempting to use frequently
• Currently being adjusted by Riot through targeted nerfs

The interaction was verified by Vandril, a community bug hunter, who tested Rebuttal against 188 different abilities. Players should be particularly careful when facing Sylas, as he can not only steal ultimates but also use Mel's own defensive ability against her.
