Completely agree, as an anivia 1 trick since like season 2, every new champ with overloaded mobilty and cc makes it less and less fun to play mid. This Champ in particular seems to counterplay my entire champion with her reflect, that doesn't mean I cant push waves or utilize my wall to win teamfights, but chances are I won't be able to lane against even the most novice Mel's. Effectively Mel disables one of my core abilites per engagement and its not an even trade of 1 ability for 1 ability anyways because she will reflect it back into me and stun me with my bread and butter.

Expected from them tbh. When I heard about the Senna AP changes in split 2 last year I went on there to lab. As soon as I learned the echanted items and did the math I found that Helia -> Moonstone was broken. I didn't have a single game where I didn't shit on my lane and have anywhere from a 5.0 -> 30.0 KDA from that point on. And it released as is before needing an adjustment on live. I think the problem is the PBE server is only in Cali so bad ping for a lot of ppl, and the game quality on PBE is extremely low. I think they maybe should have some internal high-elo testers. Like actually high-elo. Just a team of ~10 people maybe a bit more who are GM-Chall in good regions who can scrim matches to test new champs. I get the impression they do not have that atm.

Mel is way stronger if people engage on her. If you try to engage on them its harder. You can walk while you use Q but if you max range the Q and the enemy walks towards you, you can hit all instances of Q. But if they run away from you, you will need to Q further in their walking direction. So you need to be closer for more damage. Once the champs is "normal" this will be super annoying.
