Malz ult is not ok.

DOUBLE TAPPED E··1 votes·1,052 views

Malzahar channels the essence of the Void to suppress an enemy champion over a zone of damaging negative energy.

Malzahar suppresses a target champion for 2.5 seconds, dealing 125/200/275 (+80% Ability Power) magic damage over the duration. A zone of negative energy is created around his target for 5 seconds, dealing 2/3/4% (+[1% Ability Power]%) of nearby enemies max health as magic damage per second.

Yes, it can be removed with QSS, but that requires everyone on the team to spend 1300g. 1300x5=6500g. So either you lose a member of the team every 48 seconds late game, or you put your team at a 6500 gold deficit.

It needs to either be a skillshot, have a longer cooldown at max rank, or not deal %HP damage. Something. This ability is an idiot-proof point-and-click delete button.

Well, essentially he CCs both the target and himself, if your team uses any sort of CC on him, then his ult will be canceled and then he will most likely be dead.

Considering the high mobility around and the fact malz has none ... its a good anti mobility ult .... keep it as it is

it’s a self cc. Malzahar is fine.

Katarina self cc ultimate, only deals damage, can be escaped with mobility. Karthus self cc ultimate, only deals damage, cannot be escaped with mobility, but is telegraphed and can be shielded / prevented in other ways. Nunu self cc ultimate, slows and deals damage, has a very long wind up, can be escaped with mobility. Janna self cc ultimate, deals no damage, knocks back enemies and heals allies. Malzahar self cc ultimate, suppresses target (not reduced by tenacity), deals %HP damage in an area around the target, cannot be escaped without spending 1300g on an item after which point he can simply target someone else with it.

Not to mention all of these with the exception of Katarina have a longer cooldown.

Just to add here 1300 to live or free to die ? but you also have a team to help deal with him

Okay? And your point? They Ults are given more power for self ccing themselves. That’s why they can’t move.

If I could spend 6500 gold do make a game 4x5, I would do it every game Also, not everyone needs qss. Only your 1-2 main carries. And you can actually stop his ult with cc.

This ability is an idiot-proof point-and-click delete button.

Its fine for a champion with 0 mobility(so his only reliable way to use it is flash-R), 0 other CC(so he is a freekill if its on cd or if someone breaks it) and his main source of damage is countered by any aoe

it barely deals damage now. you used to be able to 100-0 the adc with just R and E
