How to win lane as Mel against Fizz · 42.14% win rate over 2,105 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Mel | You out-range a level-1 melee Fizz who must walk into your Q to farm. |
| Level 2 | Mel | At level 2 Fizz still has no burst, so your poke keeps him honest. |
| Level 3 | Mel | Level 3 you out-poke and out-waveclear him whenever he steps up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Mel | Through 4-5 your range and shove keep the lane board in your favor. |
| Level 6 | Mel | At 5 he still lacks R, so your poke and zone control stay ahead. |
| First item | Mel | You keep out-ranging and out-clearing Fizz on the lane through first item. |
| Two+ items | Mel | Your superior range and waveclear hold the lane edge into the late game. |
Levels 1-2 you out-range a melee Fizz and can poke him with Q Radiant Volley whenever he approaches the wave. The catch is that he only needs to survive to his spikes, so farm the lane, chunk him where safe, and never overextend into jungle range this early.
