I can live with the Malz W nerf if you BUFF his AA animation.

Honestly I am a bit salty about the Malzahar W nerf. I understand he can be a bit strong but I feel he has clearly defined weaknesses that balance him out extremely well. It's not like he's a spam spell mage that just throws their whole kit at you and pray for the passive plus deathfire to burn you to death, i.e. Brand. Regardless, this nerf IS something I can live with, even though Malzahar was my first main and continues to be one of my favorite champions, but only if you give him some compensation. A simple buff to his autoattack animation/speed would greatly make him FEEL better to play without making him super strong and over the top. I feel like it's well deserved. Many of the "slow" autoattackers have been getting their speeds increased (Nidalee, Anivia, Karthus[I think Karth with vu?]) so I think it's only fair if Malzahar can get his,too.

tl;dr Malz nerf is bearable if he gets compensation with an faster AA.

Malzahar's win rate is 55%, your argument is null and void.

He is the incarnation of deathfire Touch and probably the worst Offender. I expected as much. They had to cut dmg off somewhere (E is too necessary to farm and Push), the ult is his identity so it leaves the W. He can already melt high-HP targets easily with Liandry+Rylai, it won't be that bad after the nerf.
