Light Malz remake
Light as in minor, not light as in luminous. Though an Arclight Malzahar skin could be pretty cool.
The goal here is multi-faceted.
- Provide a wider range of options to counter Malz' CC.
- Give Malz a more versatile tool-kit so his damage doesn't need to be quite as overwhelming.
- Make ADC Malz more generally viable without making him absurd.
So! First order of business? Malz' crabs no longer Grow after 7 seconds (gaining x1.5 DPS) nor do they Frenzy after 14 (gaining x3 dps). They remain small crabs for their whole life span. However, they get summoned every three spells, down from every four. Net result? More, but weaker, crabs.
Second order of business? Malz' Ult becomes a two second targeted stun, down from a 2.5 second suppression. This allows Malz to use his Ult as a peel or to better set up his combo. And for foes? They can grab Mercs or Cleanse to deal with Malz' Ult. So what would this new Ult do, exactly?
Void Eruption: Malzahar creates a portal to the Void inside the target Champion or Epic Monster, causing an Evolved Voidling to burst out dealing heavy damage and stunning them for two seconds.
So what's up with this Evolved Voidling? Well, this little guy would get stats more or less like a Frenzied Voidling does now (1.5 times the AD, twice the attack speed) higher HP, a much longer lifespan, and (most importantly) the ability to control it by reactivating Malz' Ult. AD Malz would become League's premier Minion Master champion and AP Malz might actually consider grabbing Gunblade at some point.
