riot plz stop f*** up malzhar

hi i am main i mained him before his rework and i loved his style i was hoping for riot not fucking up but from what i saw thay literally nerfed everything thay changed and with the new w you literally forced to jung that just stupid if you can't find the right way to balance him just revert like you did with kog and keep the new passiv that is better then getting force onto jung [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Gave Malzahar a new passive. They, sure did, and now they've all but removed it, because it's just a free weaker version of

All of the aspects of Malzahar are there. Just outright false. Tower DPS is non-existent, he lacks damage scaling, and the farming pattern completely changed. Hell the goal of the rework was to remove an aspect of his kit, namely the assassination capabilities. (Which if that was all that happened would've been fine)

He still has a silence "wall" OMG they actually kept a single ability from the the old kit. Well, so long as half of the ability's power being on it's interaction with W and E, doesn't mean the ability was changed.

he still makes voidlings (but just way more easily controlled) Due to the parentheses, this is also just false. The old priority system use to be Closest Target > Attack Target > Space Aids (Minions > Champions) > Ult New Priority system is Closest > Space Aids (Minions > Champions) > Ult

Removing the ability to control your voidlings without an ability is the opposite of what your claim. They might have tightened up the AI, but that doesn't require removing the attack targeting.

He still does herpes Again, true, but half of it's power is split between refreshing with Q/R and W targeting.

His ult is still a long range instant cast suppression. With all the old weaknesses, QSS removal, interruptible, channeled, and a few extras, like no minimum flat damage, and half the damage being beyond the duration of the CC.

The way in which it which the mechanics of the old malzahar were assembled made sense, and functioned well together but were stand alone mechanics which just had synergy. They've tried to take apart a car (malz), add one extra piece (passive), and using the same parts (pre-rework P,Q,W,E,R), make a boat (post rework). But instead, what we're left with is a shoddy raft being held together by duck tape (the interactions between abilities). They keep trying to make these little changes (adjust atk range, adjust the only new/independent part and make insignificant changes to W), to "fix" the raft, but you really can't risk seriously adjusting the parts or the tape, else the whole thing might fall apart. thanks for deadlychuck for the info
