Petition from Malzahar main to Riot
Malzahar is one of the most reworked champions in the game, constantly going trough changes and nerfs because his kit can be used in ways designers didn't plan to.
I beg of you riot, stop messing around with Malzahar, I don't want to have to relearn him every 3 months or find out that he's completely useless ( as he's right now, due the item changes, he just can't damage tanks anymore) for no reason.
He was best when he was on his original kit, you had to plan your voidlins, you could do surprises early game by stacking void at base, his ult was meaningful single target shut out and his damage was across the board ok, and he was only used in middle as he was intended.
I don't know what he's supposed to be anymore.
I will give you recent example of my malzahar game, did ok till late but, with 731 ap 35+7% mrpen + 30 flat mrpen, I couldn't even one shot Janna. Yes, Janna. And all she did was build all usable armor/mr support items, she didn't even use shields till after my ult ended, I silenced her, hit her with E and slammed triple pet on her before I ulted and I couldn't get her even 60% of her hp.
Imagine how fun I had fighting full tank gragas and hybrid tank riven?
So I reverted to supporting my carries, try to win that way, use ult defensively to peel for adc.. didn't work why? 3 x qss and 2x banshees.
Malzahar is literally the only champion you can make useless with two items : Banshees veil and quick silver sash.
Please stop punishing and changing the champions kit and ap ratios just because 90% of the players haven't figured that one out. It's not the the champions fault, it's theirs.
Thank you.
For now I will stop playing the game, I only really like playing malzahar and zyra, both are not valid for ranked anymore really, so the game is dull for me.
Perhaps I return later we will see, just for the love of god, stop changing malzahar.
how cute
