The way the patch notes were written and the fact that there were no compensation buffs for Mid make it look like Mid Lane Malzahar is being abandoned. Are you really forcing him to be a support now?

It's really frustrating for Malz mid laners to see their champion destroyed and abandoned because riot wants to balance him for support now.
GigaPube2 votesyou saw a post/s calling for support-specific nerfs for malz. these nerfs are not support specific so now you've found reason #420 to stick it to riot to make yourself feel better about being addicted to a game filled with toxic brats and the gameplay balance not being more aligned with buffing who you main and nerfing who you hate versing
the LEAST you could do is offer another EXACT balancing option. judging by your inability to do so in your original post, id say im probably right though

Packun Flower2 votesI dunno he's in a really awkward state. The community wants to get him out of botlane and back into mid and so does Riot. This change supposedly made him weaker in bot in hopes of getting him back into mid but without compensation buffs all it did was make his mid laner AND his support lane weaker so I dunno.
Caligari1 votesI want malzahar back in mid lane and pushed out of botlane; where he does not belong in any sense >.> idk why they dont just take away base power in favor of good scalings so that malz has to have items to do dmg. or do something to address malz mindless spamming aids and crabs all lane phase- they made zyra pay higher mana costs for her harrass why not do the same to malz?? or just revert him I feel like its his stupid crabs that is the problem. that and if they are wanting to leave him botlane then they need to make mikaels CLEANSE HIS ULT of your adc...
I used to play malz mid pre rework, and honestly I miss old malz (and old zyra while we are at it) malz bot is un fun to play against.
