Mel Medarda, known from the series "Arcane," was added to League of Legends at the end of January 2025. Her unique set of abilities, including the ability to deflect projectiles and deal damage with nanites, quickly made her popular among players. However, her high effectiveness in some situations sparked discussions about balance, leading to the release of this hotfix.
