lightdragoon88: Great so by trying to 'balance' support Malz you dump mid-lane malz even harder. Why don't you guys admit that the 6.23 changes was a mistake and revert it or even better, revert the whole rework. You did it for Kog'maw why not Malzahar?


Kaalcite:

More nerfs? I feel like pretty soon Malzahar 's slogan is going to be "at least he's not Aatrox"


Ragingg:

Is there any compensation for mid Malz??


Hungry Cancer:

Riot, make up your mind on Malzahar, please, either revert him, properly rework him, or just delete him. He's one of my favorite champs but I can't play him anymore because you won't stop changing him, every time Malzahar players attempt to adapt to a change to find a niche for our beloved crab summoner you have to make that niche unusable. Malzahar used to see a lot of play as an AD jungler, he had a very different build as AD versus AP, he used the voidlings as his primary source of damage so he excelled at killing objectives but was not so great against champs because his cancer babies are so easily kited or killed by the tower, his play as a jungler was not toxic and was not affecting his power as a mid laner since by building AD he lost significant magic damage but gained enough physical damage to make it worth it, the two kits were separate and easily tweaked without affecting the others and yet you still decided to nerf AD Malzahar to get at AP Malzahar, which didn't work, so you just continued on nerfing him until something worked in a series of patches frantically weakening any aspect of his kit you could without really getting the job done, instead of focusing on an aspect of his kit that was overpowered and hitting that, you just ran around like a 3 year old with a nerf bat hitting his movespeed, attack range, AD ratio, passive, voidling utility, Hell anything but his AP ratios or base magic damage, resulting in a rather pathetic version of my previously favorite champion. I get that he was too strong at the beginning, but you are going about it all wrong, and you won't let us find an aspect of his kit that is viable and put it to use carving out a niche, every time we try you just nerf some aspect of his identity that made it possible to play him in a unique way, forcing him back into the role of super simple mid lane pox lock, how is this even considered the same champion as he was before rework?


(This one made me LOL in RL but, he's absolutely right)

Dynamiku Entry:

Malz players took him support because Riot ruined his performance in all roles. Finds marginal success bot lane, and rather then adapt to facing him both adc's and supports cry. Now Riot nerfs Malz even harder, just for playing support BECAUSE OF HIS OTHER ROLES being nerfed. I'd seriously just like to shit down a Rioter's throat. Straight down his throat, directly into his stomach. And just flood that mother fucker with feces. And ask him if he thinks I need a nerf or if he just needs a buff.


Deltora 1080:

The Malzahar 6.23 nerfs should be reverted. Period. This might balance him for support, but it makes him completely unviable mid-lane. If his Voidlings don't spawn instantly, and can only spawn an additional one within a few seconds, where does his damage come from? Not only that but these nerfs didn't even hit PBE did they? This doesn't make any sense.


I honestly, just miss the old Malzahar.

Is this really that much of a nerf? Doesn't seem like it.
