Can we please stop banning Malphazar

Seriously, Malzahar is not that powerful and I do not see why he needs to be banned pretty much every game. He was basically reworked into a viable counter to Yasuo and nobody complains about how overloaded Yasuo's kit is. The only decent part of him is his passive which actually makes him a good mage for dealing with this piece of crap that has been broken for too long. At least Malzahar is not completely overloaded and has the ability to counter an entire CHAMPION CLASS.

So can people stop raging about Malph because its nice to actually have a counter to hyper-mobility assassins in this game (Leblanc, Yasuo, Zed etc).

Um, yes malz does counter an entire class.

He counters all melee champions.

If you want to play a champ who needs to close to melee, you better ban malz.

increase the time of his passive shield to block anything and you have a deal. AP Pantheon

Because Malz is unfun to play against. His passive is also completely mong.

It's not just the whole counter to assassins thing. Malzahar is destroying any lane he touches. You want to play him against a tank? Easy lane. You want to play him against an assassin? Easy lane. You want to play him against a bruiser? Easy lane. You want to play him against literally anyone? Easy lane.

I'm still scared of those 5 min drags of his.

Playing against malzahar is miserable. I don't even care if he is weak, it's 30 minutes of my life that I won't enjoy.

That is because Yas can be countered by other champs besides Malz...

For instance, Janna can be a decent counter to him.

Zed also has clear counters.

LB can be tricky but if you know how to fight against her, she can be easily shutdown.
