Malzahar mini rework to make him actually balanceable

Hibeki·12/21/2019, 2:46:39 AM·3 votes·2,404 views

Im kinda sick of malz basically being unplayable because of his point and click supression taking ALL of the power out of his kit. So I have some suggestions.

#Q) Call of the Void

70 / 105 / 140 / 175 / 210 (+ 65% AP) >> Now 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 (+ 50% AP)

REMOVED: Silence Duration: 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2

NEW: Null Zone: The waves leave behind a Null Zone that deals 5% (+ 1.5% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health per second for 4 seconds. Enemies who walk through the zone or are hit by Call of the Void's initial waves spread the zone in a 25 unit radius around them until the duration ends.

#W) Void Swarm

NEW: Now has 6 health. AOE spells deal 2 damage while single target attacks do 6 damage.

#R) Nether Grasp

ACTIVE: channels for 2.5 > 3 seconds, during which the target is Knocked down,~~ suppressed~~, and dealt magic damage every 0.25 seconds. >> Now Slows the target for 70% and Silences them for the duration.

NEW: Malzahar Links to his target and can move with -50% movement speed and cast spells while linked for the duration.

NEW: 1 / 2 / 3 Voidlings are conjured around the target (Duration same as Void Swarm)

Link Radius: 900

REMOVED: A Null Zone is opened beneath the target that lasts 5 seconds, dealing magic damage every half-second to all enemies within. TOTAL MAGIC DAMAGE: 10 / 15 / 20% (+ 2.5% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health

TOTAL MAGIC DAMAGE: 125 / 200 / 275 (+ 80% AP) >> Now 175 / 250 / 350 (+100% AP)

What do you think? Trying to transition Malzahar to more of a battle mage than a point and click suppression.

Yep i agree, suppresse is useless at this point. With this stupid healing atm if a fed champion like yi has item 3139 he just break it and kill you without a problem.

They need to do some changes and not only a mini rework but update his skins too, they are dogshit.

On the other hand if they dont want do that, for me they can REMOVE our passive shield and give him more power on anything else, for example buff minions, ult, e, everything.

But they dont care, so dont expect anything.

I disagree on Void Swarm giving his minions 6 health, with only 2 damage from spells, purely because Malzahar has them on a much lower CD and the degree of how easily they help him push waves. They aren't like Yorick's in which they're far harder to bring out, nor Zyra's that require Seeds + an ability cast to bring out. Sure, they require him to cast spells to stack them, but there's no timer to when his stacks wear out. He doesn't need better ability to push more than he already has.

his passive is actually sapped all of his power budget, not his ult. after his update his ult wasnt good so they shifted the damage parameters on it. he got nerfed every other patch because of his passive. it sucked.
