new malz sucks. that much is abundantly clear here on the boards. i get it hes a completely different champion now in terms of playstyle

but really, old malzahar was just pure cancer in the hands of a good player.

they didnt call it space aids because they thought it was funny. they called it space aids because after he built his first item, unless you rushed MR it was taking 1/3 to 1/2 of your hp if you were hit by it. ON TOP of clearing your whole minion wave away.

old malz decision making consisted of this

Did i land my Q? No, throw space aids and back off till its up

yes, throw space aids, drop your e, and then SUPPRESS until they're dead

thats seriously all old malz was capable of.

now i think new malz is an abomination, but a revert would just make him so incredibly cancerous again.

DFG or stormraider's on him is absolutely ridiculous when he can sit there and put free %hp damage, on top of a damage over time, silence, and ult damage.

Malz needs a COMPLETE rework into a COMPLETELY different skillset because its obvious you can't keep his old kit without him becoming cancer to play against, and you can't shift power around in it without making it feel completely worthless.

That is BS.

Malz was rarely picked because you got Mids like Kat, Zed, Fizz, Annie, and Syndra running around nuking the hell out of everyone with similar ults. that do even MORE damage. Or Yasuo and Talon which just crap on everything with massive damage.

Not to mention item 3140 which completely negates Malzahar's ult after the rework. (Including the Ult's Damage). QSS on Syndra's ult, Fizz Ult, Kat Ult, YOU STILL GET DAMAGED... but not with Malz... his ult is SHUT DOWN.

Hes so GD nerfed its stupid. Whine and complain all you want about the old Malzahar. But he was never a contender vs high ELO champs like Syndra, and Katarina who nuke anything and everything and whose ults are not affected by QSS

Let's not talk about Malz. His player base is as toxic and uncooperative as Sona's. Literally a headache just to know they post on the boards.

Only thing Malz players want is someone to jerk theirs while they jerk yours in a circular seating arrangement. They can do that over there in the bot lane side bushes with a Spellthief's in the other hand.

But sona can't talk so it's understandable Malz players just constantly cry.

What do you mean uncooperative? Riot literally hasn't tried to work with malz players since the rework. And they barely listened then.

Side note: his null zone was on his w not his e

He ducks because riot refused to nerf the one ability that made him a constant pick in the boy lane. It was his ultimate!

Instead they kept nerfing everything else.

Like wow. I don't even play the champion and I can gel just from watching LcS why this champion is picked. No point in trying to nerf other parts of his kit...stop beating around the bush...

Riot did the same crap with kassadin. Nerf everything not ignore the ultimate. It took them 36 months to nerf the guy from 100% pick or ban phase
