Malzahar?

DW Diana··1 votes·608 views

Hi Riot,

As agreed I'm re-posting this into the gameplay section (not exact as I can't copy and paste the original post. Might have been worth moving it instead of deleting it?)

Anyway, Malzahar. Lets have a catchup on the last 6-8 months. So he was out of meta, then a few pros went "We could use him and his ult to win games" And so he joins the meta, much like so many others. But you decided to nerf his q. Fair enough slight reduction in silence. Then you attack his ult, the one you reworked to do less damage and scale worse and is basically the only thing that gives him kill pressure after the attack on his void spawns. So he's now teir 5.

Please don't think of this as a sob story, I have a 63% win rate on him and 8.4 was great for me. I'm just wondering what you're plans are regarding him. Is his W finally going to get some attention? Are you happy with the changes? Are you just going to throw him back into the void where aatrox and nocturne have been hanging out where only players like me can find a way to make them viable? Or are you actually going to stop nerfing viable champions to the ground because people cry when they get ulted? If so, do everyone a favour an get fizz, urgot ult, Skarner ult and Moakai while you're at it.

Cheers for reading and any response from you would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Loki

I use to play Malzahar a good bit after his initial rework, I really liked the W swarm mechanic, thought it was fun as hell. Had a blast with him in the jungle too.

Tried him out again about a week ago, not a fan anymore.

I'd like them to make Malzahar other abilities stronger and take some strength from his ult , maybe increase his ult range and make it only 2 seconds but buff the rest of his kit ? No matter how well I play with him , I can't carry

Tbh his ult is fine as it is. It's a point and click yes but it does very little actual damage and immobilising him balances it quite well. His e is relatively good with rylais and liandys, but w is basically null and void (forgive the pun) because it does nothing against anything but minions. If they had more damage, health, could proc any on hits or even heal him it'd be fine, but atm it means his only real pressure is coming from his ult. Maybe increase the cd on the ult and give two of the aforementioned buffs to his W. I'm just wanting to get some response from riot as everywhere I look I see people asking about this and no response from riot.

His ult might be fine , but it's the only reason why pro players pick him , to ult the tank and make it a 4 vs 5 fight . he replies on his ult more than anything else, that's why he needs more power on his other abilities

I agree, I'm just saying that making his W useful would be the best place to start given its so underpowered. Remember he is meant to be calling forth the monsters from the void. You know, the ones everyone is afraid of? Yoricks undead are more of a concern, hell so is my 5 week old puppy, at least it has teeth lol.

Yup exactly , when I mentioned he needs help in his other abilities , I meant w to be exact ,

The only thing I agree with is gutting Fizz.

Fuck that ever-growing shark.

What's the timescale for riot to read and/or reply to posts? Just out of interest.

Riot could care less. Use a different champ.

Dude you just went through all of my posts and replied to them with comments like this. I won't use a different champ, Im a malz main, and no riot probably don't care at the moment which is why we post threads and comment and upvote etc to show that WE care. That in turn should MAKE them care. Otherwise the entire boards is pointless
