your killing laning malzahar

Xilixer··1 votes·607 views

while on paper it looks like malzahar is broken. with the q reseting the e and the w dealing alot of damage. malzahar actually deals HALF of the damage he used to do before. his q, e, and r deal reduced damage and riot is further nerfing his q and w. malzahar isnt even the great anti-assassin mage anymore. (yasuo, fizz, zed players rejoice)

all there is now to malzahar is jungle now which is the ONLY area where he is actually considered op due to the voidlings taking the hits from the monsters, dragon and baron and now i cant even lane against an assassin without being afraid of dieing becuase i know they can now 100-0 me and not the vice versa. if i decide to take malzahar mid now i have to keep my distance and just repeat e,w over and over again. while e and w would do a decent amount of damage when used together in lane its useless as the instant i e,w they run under tower and voidlings die to one hit. heck if they kill the first voidling malzahar has no damage until the cooldown is off. i literally now HAVE to rely on my w being up at all times just to deal as much damage as other champs.

Yeah, I've noticed that as well. They need to buff the resistance of the minions some. If the mid lane wave is at exactly half and you go to trade, they just walk back and let the turret hit the ONE minion that got to spawn and walk back. It's like yorick but much worse, because atleast yoricks minions take a few hits to kill.

On a different note, he works fairly well in top lane because the tanks cant outrun him, and you can poke them out. Up until they get a crapton of mr, anyways.
