A Malzahar balance idea from a Malzahar player.

If he needs nerfs in the future (yeah hes probably going to) what if we increases his passive cd from 30->40/45 or something and had its cd reduced by 1 or 2 seconds for each time his e bounces?

idk if this is a good idea or not honestly though

They should just revert the malz rework. Morde too.

Having an interaction with E bounces sounds interesting. I don't play Malz at all, but anything to make him more interactive would be nice.

thats seems ok but is sort of meh for fights lategame id be ok with it though if his passive were to reset on ulting

then a higher cooldown would be fine

He's the rube goldberg mechine of champions now.

You just kind of start his combo, and then watch as the champion plays himself.

even better, remove his passive and give him a new one.

That's a decent idea. I main Malz and his passive seriously covers almost every weakness now. Before it was like welp if you get ganked hard ur dead unless u land a perfect Q and flash. Now it's another get out of jail free card. I just wanted a change to his Ult where you get total CC immunity for .5 sec so you wouldn't get interrupted by an enemy ability u just ulted.

His passive is honestly too OP

If they refuse to do a full revert, i think the best course of action would be to simply revert his voidlings to a similar state. The current cast voidlings being a core portion of your kit is not a design to balance around.

The real issue with his passive is that it is either going to give him enough time to amass his voidlings, or it will not.

Reverting them to a secondary role, unless building AD, and a passive based on # of spells cast is probably the only way that riot will ever find a way to balance the new kit (oh and add back attack targeting). Then what do you do with his W? Give it the fiora treatment, put his current passive on his W. He's intended to be a kind of bruiser/mage now (as opposed to his old identity... r.i.p.), so give him an actual defensively focused ability for the malzahar player to maximize.

Now doing this would obviously mean you'd probably need to buff his E, Q, and/or R damage to adjust for the lost voidling damage. However, this could actually successfully restore his old farming pattern.

From a power prospective this change would put a larger divide in champion skill of bad malzahar players and good malzahar players. A good player will block correctly and see impressive outplay potential, where a bad player will misuse their W and basically have no defense.
