League of Legends' newest champion Mel is facing another round of nerfs in Patch 15.S1.4, sparking debate within the community. With a staggering 73.2% ban rate in Platinum and above rankings, Riot Games is taking action to address player concerns.

The upcoming changes were announced by Riot Phroxzon and detailed by Riot Emizery on the MelMains Reddit community. Despite already having one of the lowest win rates in mid lane, Mel continues to face significant opposition from players who refer to her as the "mage for babies."

Key points about the situation:

• Current ban rate: 73.2% in Platinum+ rankings
• Players report Mel's win rate dropping to around 46%
• New nerfs scheduled for February 20
• Changes will be available for testing on PBE soon

The community response has been largely negative, with many players questioning Riot's approach to balancing the champion. Some argue these nerfs are excessive, especially considering Mel's already struggling performance in solo queue.

This marks another challenging period for Riot Games, coming alongside other controversial changes such as the removal of Hextech chests. The developer will need to carefully monitor the impact of these nerfs to ensure Mel remains viable while addressing the high ban rate concerns.
