Malzahar Tooltips not updated after the Mid-Patch Update, and potential Mana/Jungle Reset Issue.

I've been playing some games as Malzahar, and ended up noticing that I "had the mana available" for my spells according to the tooltip when you hover over them.

Needless to say, I was getting close to finishing Dragon when I was pleasantly surprised that my 60 mana was not actually enough to cast my W. I actually couldn't cast it till I hit 85+ mana and nearly died.

I also had issues where Jungle camps were resetting if I used more than one W on the camp.

After going onto the website I found out about the balance update.

Needless to say, not everyone is going to realize that these changes occurred by looking at the website. I think it's pretty big that this be changed in game as quickly as possible (yeah, I know patches take time).

Otherwise good job with the hotfix. I could tell instantly that something had happened to his damage (against monsters with his W and to his ult).

I'd also double check (and I plan too as well) his actual mana required for spells in game. As I said above, I ran into an issue at dragon where I was at 85-87 mana before I could cast my W, and it looks like it should be 80.

Thanks, and hope things are going well on your end!

TL;DR -

  1. Tooltips need updating (I know it's in the next patch but it's annoying that the changes were put in before the patch if that's the case).
  2. Potential mana discrepancy on W (I had to wait for 85-87 mana instead of the 80 described in the Mid-Patch Update).
  3. Jungle camps resetting if more than one W is used on the camp (not sure if this was intended or a mistake, but it happens to me GAREN-teed at buffs, if not other camps).

I was doing rift Herald as malz, and literally standing next to it in the pit, and it reset on me three times before my top lane finally came to help.

Hotfixes do not change tooltips.
