I miss old Malzahar, the OG mage/assassin. (V7.11 and earlier) now he is a handicapped support.

was the champ I could play, I liked him, because unlike other assassins, he was super slow, had less health then a cannon minion, no self healing, no damage passive, no dashes, used mana, and had the hit box of a tank. Not to mention that his damage took so long to dish out because malefic visions is so god damn slow, until he got his ult.

He had every possible weakness in the game to an extent, so they gave him huge damage, some amazing crowd control, and point and click damage, to make up for all that. Then they took all his good things away, and kept the cons at full power. Now he doesn't have enough damage in his kit to make up for his insane amount of draw backs. He has no outplay potential at all. I feel so constricted when playing him as if I have no control over anything. Other characters feel way better as they actually have options and feel like control is actually in the players hands, not the game's

It's like all I do is walk around ulting the AD carry or assassin and hoping my team is there, Retreating under the nearest turret, usually dying to the adc or assassin in the process and not getting a scratch at all because I can't escape them when they have so many dashes. I feel like there is no other way to play this character. Malzahar is really only good at doing literally one thing, Getting lucky assists. He can't really farm well unless no one is around to gank him. Well guess it won't matter anyways, he doesn't really need items to suppress someone for merely 2.5 seconds, and having the rest of your team do the rest of what used to be your job for you.

Some mage/assassin you are .

You should be classified as,

feeder/handicapped-support.

I miss you V7.11 and earlier

you were my buddy.
