Malzahar =OP

I can't say OP only because I've never played with or against him, and this Malz did have like 10 deaths in game but just objective wise he's super strong...no one would EVER think of someone soloing dragon at level 2...it's unheard of XD

No hes not o.e Hes an objective focused jungler now. In. a. jungle. that. has. obscene. OBJECTIVES.

Malzahar is only powerful if;

His minions arent killed (theyre easy to kill)
His minions are allowed to stack (4 is the most ive seen in lane)
He gets off an E with 3 or more voidlings in the early game (this happens so rarely. especially in higher ELOs.)

this means that malzahar is a product of the enviornment, NOT ACTUALLY THAT POWERFUL.

I played one game jg so far and a handfull in midlane. Tbh i wasn't really a big fan of the whole malz jg thing but when I did try it it was really op. First off his voidlings may be easy to kill for a champion but lets face it a gromp kinda has a hard time. In the jg they stack so easily. In lane you use W for a fresh set of minions and you get all 6 easily doubling you whole wave till they die. If you were a good malz before getting your E to do what you want is no problemo. People get so mad at the new Malzahar but honestly I think he is one cool cat. He's still fun to play and he's hard to play against so pick or ban. Ez

Sir. Malzahar is an objective focused jungler.

He is an objective focused jungler because he can safely and quickly clear the jungle, allowing him to quickly and safely take the extremely powerful jungle objectives introduced in the same patch. His lane was destroyed. He no longer has the damage to remain in the mid lane as he is not a control mage.

Lol, where did his damage come from when he was, as you say, a lane champion

He is definitely still a mid lane champ. I think he even got better than before, but that's just me

Q did 300+0.8AP at rank 5. E did 320+0.8AP at rank 5. R did 550+1.3AP at rank 3.

Q does 230+0.7 at rank 5. E does 220+0.7 at rank 5. R does 25% at rank 3.

His minions are less reliable and more so than ever lane malzahar is absolutely reliant on snowballing. Hes always been good at pubstomping when people have no idea how to play against him. the issue that the rework has created is he is no longer ANY kind of counterpick, where before he was definitely a counterpick to zed, ahri, diana, and LB because he had a very powerful anti-assassin kit. Now? He doesnt. not really. 90% of his rework power budget was put into the jungle.
