Don't you think you overnerfed him a lil bit ? Now Im gonna hear you are Crazy ... what are you talkin about ... Let me start from Im Medium Plat Player.

After last nerfs what I can observe :

*Mid Malzahar has mega problems with farm and go into late game. I know why you nerfed him I tottaly understand but now he can't even pass the phase where you should turtle into late game.

*Jungle Malzahar - here is the tricky part - > He can still clear with takin zero dmg . But Malzahar dmg against enemy champs is mega weak

I would ask about 2 things :

1st) I remm. when you said you not gonna over nerf him -and Jungle Malz still will be a thing... 2nd) Could you share and pull some data ? Is he OP on lower Elo and bad at High Elo ? can we get some thoughts

TLDR : I Think Malzahar was overnerfed a Bit . Problems from early game to late game.

Right now, Malz is considered a God Tier champ in this patch. In lower leagues, he dominates, cause his kit drains you. Also his passive is very difficult to get around in lower leagues, where people don't think strategically as much. But, if anyone plays ap assassin ekko, it can be pretty easy to destroy malz with the right timing. Then again, this is my opinion. Look up patch meta for the stats.

Off the top of my head the easiest way to fix this is to make his minions take 200% dmg from monsters. It wouldn't solve the passive issue but it would at least get him out of jungle so they can focus on mid lane balance alone.

On the other hand if they like malz in the jungle then balance for that and let mid die. Its very hard to balance for both a lane and jungle at the same time. Look at nidalee, she has been top, mid and is now a jungler because of all of her changes.
