Red Post Collection: Meddler Gameplay Thoughts April 28th, MSI 2017 Fandom Battle & Tshirt, and more!

People who played against Malzahar hated his new W because they'd swarm and chunk their health.

People who played Malzahar disliked his new W for being unreliable damage.

Many think power should go back to his other spells (Or at least Q and E) rather than W.

And what was Meddler's solution?

"Now that the 7.9 patch has been locked (we're in the final testing period, so can't put any more changes into it) we've started looking at 7.10 changes. It's likely there'll be a fair bit of followup to mid-season needed, so it's hard to speak definitively about what will be in 7.10, work we're looking at though includes:

Malz - W changes to make his solo laning more rewarding, reduce unhealthy impact of his support play (lack of good counterplay especially)"

Sigh...

God I wish they brought his old W back. What was so wrong about it?

I begged that Malz' old passive be left alone. I knew that making the Voidlings better for AP would require the rest of his spells to be nerfed (which AP Malz players hate). And I knew that it would probably come at the cost of AD Malz being functional, too. The two builds played like totally different champions. So Riot basically killed a great mid-laner and a great jungler and gave us a shitty support instead.

Fun.

This remake is arguably as big of a train-wreck as Kog was. It should be reverted instead of sinking more workhours into the endless black-hole of shitty design.
