Malzahar Slight Rework Suggestion

I do not like this "Ult Bot" Malzahar. Riots last nerf to Malzahar was to shave off some scaling off his Q which was his only AOE skillshot (a terrible idea in my opinion as it further pushes him into an ult bot position)

I would like to see a mini rework to the ultimate and bringing back some power in his basic abilities.

Ultimate Rework:

  1. Malzahar channels all his inner energy breaking his voidshift (destroying his own safety passive if its up) to infect his victim with nether grasp. Nether grasp will damage the target in two stages, 70% of the total damage will be dealt as immediate burst. The remaining 30% will only be dealt at the end of the channel.

  2. Call of the Void (Q)

  • Q AP ratio is increased from 65% to 80%
  • Q Silence duration maxes out at 1.5s instead of 2s

I think this is a decent idea as the ultimate rework will provide options for Malzahar instead of brainlessly clicking R and waiting. Do you want to use your ultimate for damage and then be able to use your other abilities? Or would rather channel for CC to help your team?

Additionally, putting some power back into his basic abilities will help him keep up with teamfighting as currently his damage is very lackluster. Putting it into his Q in my opinion is the fairest way to go about this as its his only true skillshot ability

Malzahar is immobile. Malzahar is an anti-assassin.

Taking away malzahars only form of hard CC makes him useless. Taking away malzahars only form of burst makes him useless.
