Malzahar's Nerfs

They quite simply feel like too much, it's hurting even at late game with max build (toying with different builds too). I'm now in competition with champs I hard counter when I play Malzahar and the players I'm facing haven't gotten better. The matches I had before this nerf were about the same, but my effectiveness overall has been reduced to essentially mid game and mid game only.

The few Malzahar players I've talked to that are diamond+ agree.

Malz players who disagree, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Anyone who's not just a blatant hater of Malzahar please share your thoughts on these nerfs.

Good, leave it that way until his R is reworked into a skillshot and he's no longer hideously unfair to play against. Being forced to rush a 1300g item every game isn't fun whatsoever.

I hope they nerf him even more. Then maybe my ban slot will finally be free.

They were too much.

You can thank Riot Repertoir for this awesome rework, can't interact with enemy laner because you run out of mana instantly and get shoved in, oh whats's that? Want to reset your bouncing E the enemy didn't respect with Q early game? Well, that just costs 1/3 of your mana pool thank you. Just try braindead afk push the wave from level 2, then you just sit on your ADC shoulders and press R the moment someone dives your team.

Want to zone with old 14% max hp each second W and try to chunk the enemy ADC with your 9s CD Q? Nope, you can summon 6 walking gold for the enemy and spam your wet noodle 3s CD Q.

Such amazing rework, really makes this champion much more fun when all you can do is flash ult, spam 2 of your spells like a moron and run into Morgana bindings for 0 punishment with passive.

Then people keep bleating the same "braindead R champ" "point and click waaaa waaaa" when they exhaust their brain to think of an item that just makes his entire ultimate useless.

Yeah he sort of quietly got gutted last patch. I don't even want to play him anymore.
