As I thought the Malzahar changes makes him feel like even more shit to play

Voidlings have a ms of 347 after 600 range and it drops down to 270 after that, I'm sure glad my primary damage source can't do shit now.

PS - You let the stupid AoE bug back in the game, Xerath w and q were doing full bars of damage to them.

Edit: Oh and why the fuck did you give them a delay between casts when you nerfed them to a charge system in the first place?

Support was abusing, It was soloing ADC's bot lane

And now they've given him the wrong changes to force him into support even further. He'll never be a mid laner again now.

Indeed. The reason why pre-rework malzahar was never bot lane unless AD was because he had very high mana costs and needed big-ticket items to effectively combo.

Current malzahar has almost all of his damage front loaded into his W and relies on getting MULTIPLE voidlings out at once to actually do damage. If his voidlings were permanent, the current changes would be "fine". Due to the duration on them being so short, theyre just flat bad unless malzahar is litterally 1000AP vs 0 effective MR.

What's worse is that people were getting away from his voidlings before these nerfs, and now there's absolutely no way they'll ever get to them again unless he has his ult. He's going to be another one of those "welp, I don't have ult, guess I have to sit back and do nothing for 2 minutes" champions pretty much.

I don't think a revert on the rework is necessary, but a revert on how his voidlings work would put him back in the mid lane most likely, since "pushing mage" has always been part of his identity and that was kinda removed when they changed his voidlings. Old Malz was oppressive af and boring to play. You just drop your E, let it farm for you, and either zone the enemy away from minions or let it drop on him and get him down to half HP from a mile away. It was so boring I actually refunded him. Now that they've done what they've done to his reworked version I almost wish I hadn't bought him back.

Old Malz I remember was basically a Mid lane farmer/Pusher.

What you want to roam... Let me take your inhib, There was a reason why he had a 56%+ winrate before rework.

I understand that, but riot put it into a charge system that was unnecessary in the first place. Not to mention anyone with tier 1 boots out runs them now, even with rylais tier 2 boots and 1 movespeed item still keeps you faster then them.
