I'm happy Malzahar is finally an issue
He was in a weird spot since the MYMU, but everytime someone said something about the problems there was a huge round of people bashing around and arguing "malz is fine it's just his spellshield"....
No one seemed to care for a Champion who was barely played and so the dedicated players always gathered unnoticed at the bottom of all comment sections because the usual reaction of other people was who the fuck cares about Malz I don't play him he's a bullshit champ
Well, now that people have come to realize that shit's going down especially in bot lane they suddenly get that the rework actually did not land anything Malzahar should be and that he should be pulled out of bot because is weirdly good as a duo laner because je lacks the reliabilityto kill a Champ on his own even with suppression.

He was re-designed like it but he is neither a Minionmancer like Yorick or Zyra, nor a sustaining Battle-Mage like Vlad or Swain, nor a Champion that should be dependent on help of Voidlings to kill his target.
The concept of Malzahar is
##Void Magic Prophet with anti-assassin niche
Which should mean:
- he has powerful spells
- High Cooldowns and mana costs
- an average safe range to dish out damage
- Prophet!!! -> R makes assassination harder
- but also Vulnerable to fighters that tend to live throughout his ultimate
- can do savage magic and therefore open portals/ summon from the void
- is a pretty powerful dude because no Void creature ate/disintegrated/killed him yet
I would love to see him reverted and given a better Identity and new spells or a full VGU later on, but whatever he is now, is just not a real Void Prophet nor a really well designed Mage Champion.
