I was under the impression that qss used to break the suppression part of Malzahars ult, but the damaging channel continued, just like WW ult. Did this feature get removed for both champions after their reworks?
EDIT: What seems to be a bug also, if Malzahar uls a target with Black Shield on them, nothing happens but the Ult goes on CD.
Jinzo Torrance1 votesYeah, since the tether does damage now it should remain active, before the revert it would make sense that he would lose the tether since it would 0 damage on its own but now (like pre-rework) the suppression should go away while the tether should remain active and do damage until the target moves out of range.
Breaku1 votesThe lazergrip part of Malz ult actually doesn't do damage, the black ooze pool that is placed beneath the target actually does all of the damage, as an AoE.
So, if QSS makes that pool vanish, then yeah it's stopping the damage. I don't think this is the case, but I haven't paid close enough attention.

They changed that this patch.
Please read the patch notes.
Breaku1 votesAhh, I double checked the client skill description
They need to do a better job of keeping that up do date then :)
Lugg1 votesThey can QSS the suppresion and walk out of the pool, but they still take tether damage now. Which was MUCH needed for Malz to be viable at all.
Sebbo1 votesMaybe this should go in the report a bug section, but Riot should definetely be aware of the problem because that was one of old Malz's main problems of unviability.
