As a devoted fan, I’m sharing insights from Riot Phroxzon’s latest post. He pointed out that Mel’s win rate progression has essentially plateaued, much like Neeko at her release. Consequently, no additional balance tweaks are planned for Mel in the forthcoming patch, as outlined below.

UpdateDetails
Mel– After the hotfix, Mel’s win rate growth has mostly stalled, similar to Neeko’s release.
– No further balance adjustments in this patch.
– The team thinks Mel’s abilities are intuitive and can be learned over time by players.
– Mel is currently very popular. She’s also easy to play for folks arriving from Arcane.
Support Items– Riot Games is trying to balance support power level and ADC satisfaction.
– Nerfs are targeted at more damaging support items to decrease damage.
– Riot Games is still interested in long-term solutions for increasing ADC and top agency plus satisfaction. These changes are still in progress.
Bounties– Riot Games is further reducing the bounty value for a single player trying to turn the game around while carrying a losing team.
Attack Speed Cap– Small increase to attack speed cap to 3.0
– Balancing systems need to provide high attack speed with realistic caps.
Dragon Souls– Small rebalancing to the Dragon Souls.
– Cloud Dragon is perceived as weak, but it’s know to be powerful to skilled players.
– Chemtech Dragon is underpowered across the board.
Domination Tree– Riot Games removed some Adaptive from the Domination tree in 25.S1.1 via Eyeball Collector, so the developers are buffing Domination Keystones to compensate.
– Riot Games is also buffing assassins to adjust their power level.
