Its been a few months since the Mage Update, so whats the state of Malzahar nowadays?
Malzahar was my first main and the first champion I really fell in love with, I mained him for 3 seasons before the rework but now that he's been changed I barely play him anymore. He still has a similar kit but the shift of focus to his voidlings while removing power from almost every aspect of his kit killed what made him fun for me. I loved how strong he was in 1v1 fights, even at the expense of his team fight pressure. Now his ult damage is so pathetic and his trademark space aids aren't even strong enough to use as waveclear without his voidlings, which imo are still too easy to get rid of for how much of a focus they are in his kit.
I'll admit he's still strong if played correctly but he's just not as fun as he used to be imo.
So now that people have had time to settle into the mage updates and figure out what works best I want to know how other people view the state of
. He was instaban when the rework first came out but now he seems to be on most peoples back-burner once again.
. also still most of the damage is from his W. and his ult is basically a stand still so his W does damage.
now... But I still don't have that feeling of control or that feeling that I can take on the world when I play ranked.
. He became a late game mage, and by that I don't mean run around and kill people like Veigar or Syndra. Most of the time he's just an ult bot for the highest priority enemy that doesn't have a cleanse. One thing's for sure, while he can disrupt very well with Rylai's and deal immense damage during teamfights with a well used E, he likely won't kill many people by himself.
