By damage cadence, I mean how often the damage ticks. The damage per second would be kept the same, but it would just tick more frequently (at one-quarter damage per tick compared to live). Essentially, it'd be the same as what they did to the fountain's heal-per-second in the last patch.
Why? Makes the ability feel more satisfying for Malzahar and more threatening to his enemies.
Ulric Greatsword12 votesI feel like that could work for a lot of DoT champs:
all come to mind.

or anyone with an AoE ability like 
etc.,
The5lacker3 votesEvery DoT or HoT (including regen) should be on a .25 damage cadence.
Also, I know know what cadence means. Huzzah!
EndlessSorcerer3 votesIIRC, 
applies the first tick of it's damage immediately, so this would cause the initial tick of Liandry's Torment to occur every 0.25s as well. It could be a good option, but I think they would have to look into this interaction at the same time.
darkdill1 votesSaid interaction wouldn't drastically increase Liandry's damage output because the proc doesn't stack.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesIt doesn't stack, but the damage may increase if the spell reapplies Liandry's Torment faster than the second tick would apply.
7ha7guy7771 votesit would actually decrease liandry's damage if liandry's was calculated that way since it does current hp damage instead of max hp damage
EndlessSorcerer1 votesIIRC, it's current health at the time the tick occurs, one when the Liandry's Torment burn is applied.
7ha7guy7771 votesi think i misread it. i meant would do less if Liandry's re-applied the damage every 0.25 seconds instead of every 1 second
Champion Skin2 votesIIRC,
Yeah Brand's dot/passive was changed to have longer intervals between ticks simply because of that
AtheosisX3 votesIt kind of makes sense with a cc-less zone like that (and Morgana's) since there's nothing keeping players in them for full one second increments, but with standard dots it feels pretty unnecessary.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesPoint. It might be a small change in damage, but it should just be something to be aware of.
LaughingStapler1 votesThis would reduce counterplay and buff his poke a lot. I'm not sure it's necessary.
A Slime Appears4 votesWhen space aids makes him the fisher price of champs for farming, no it really isn't necessary.
Auryiel1 votesNo.
Cuz fuck Malzahar, for no apparent reason.
sigh
Actually he MIGHT get some attention since he has a new skin coming up...

Malzahar has been sleeper OP for four seasons straight.
Anyone who actually builds HP (rod of ages, rylais or both, sometimes liandrys on top of it if no thornmail or banshees is needed) on him wrecks until and unless a different lane feeds, assassins don't counter him anymore and he pretty much lols at every other mid except a competent Brand... which is essentially a reskinned Malzahar anyway with less CC.
Kingsgrave1 votesThe only real concern is that you take slightly more damage the longer you stand in it technically since it only deals it every 1 second on live
Junkο1 votesPlease please please
draqxqard1 votesI feel they nerfed fiddlesticks by doing that, the damage doesn't feel like the same anymore. The enemy doesn't miscalculate it as often either, I wouldn't like them to do this to my malzahar for that very reason. :\
