What if Malz's E worked as an AoE instead of a point and click?

I'd imagine you'd have to lower the damage to make him not just infect a wave to death with one ability.

So people keep complaining that Malz was unjustly changed because he provided an uninteractive laning phase and they cite people like Ahri or Ekko also being uninteractive because of how their harass works.

You guys realize that you can dodge Ahri or Ekko's Q. You can't really dodge Malz E. let's also not forget how his E spreads if he last hits with it. Which could mean he can farm the wave without needing to worry about you OR focus you while his E does the job for him.

In my mind, that's uninteractive. I can dodge and punish Ekko (maybe not Ahri cause Ahri) if he misses his Q. I can't really punish Malz if he just decides to farm with his E and Ignore me.

Especially now with his spellshield passive (this doesn't need DR imo).
