STOP NERFING MALZAHAR
Hello everyone, I dont speak much on forums, acctually this is my first post here. But this time on 'Malzahar matter' my attention is really required.
Allow me first to introduce myself, I'm Malzahar. I really mean it. Since begining of season 4, first champion that I ever played was Malzahar, and at that moment I instantly fell in love with him. Since then, I played in every season (ranked ofc, as soon as I was able in season 4) over 500+ games with my dear Malza. So by now I guarantee I have over 1500+ games with him(ranked only). Playing with him so much, I was able to get 38th place in the world with Malza in season 5 ( according to LOLSkill website). In that preseason I finally succeded to get in Diamond tier, but unfortunatelly it was preseason :(
So, lets talk now about changes that happened to him lately. By that i mean rework of him. First let me say I dont like it at all. From being nuker as AP (could kill every single tank) to being even more op as AD (I liked to call him SUPER carry while in jungle), this rework made him really lame champion with no more nuking power as AP or that kind of threat in jungle with his passive voidlings as AD. Only in first patch (when he was obviously too buffed and banned in ranked play from less than 1% to over more than 90%) he was viable to play...
But then came nerfs...one after another.... to finally this one when I really had to say something.
I understand that rework is done and there is no turning back(but personally i would like to bring old malza back). And ofc if your intention was to make one of your oldest champions, from being no questionably 1v1 best champion out there to middle strong fighter in 1v1, then i understand you, but that means that original LOL lost his charm for me.
So lets see the facts:
............His Q, Call of the Void. It was my main spell to master first, was enormously usefull in teamfights. I would usually hit 3+ champions with silence of 3 sec, enemy wouldnt have much things to do. Now its 2 sec, also dmg lowered. And that is his only evasion skill. Seriously, evasion?? But still, it was his only. He got his passive now, but passive that is being nerfed again and again. From 1 sec to 0,25sec and from 6 sec to 12 sec on his last lvl, come on ppl, who is so bitter on him inside your developers ranks? .............Then his W, Null Zone. Nerfs were: no insta dmg, lowered dmg. His new W, Void Swarm spell is a weak version of his passive before. But whats done is done. Now his ulty has Null Zone too, but again its only lame shadow of what Null Zone was before. Dmg again down. ..............His E, Malefic Visions, is kinda buffed than before, only because Q has opportunity to refresh spell. (Also pls fix bug: when u cast E on minion which is about to die, sometimes his E goes on cd, but is not being casted) ..............And His ulty gives again so much less dmg than before. .............Finally his passive. Core of his jungler capacity before. Voidlings with 600+ dmg in mid to early late game would really melt everyone in their path. Now voidlings give spread dmg of 5-6 for limited amount of time. Only if all 6 voidlings get on the same target (which is hard because player cant control them and they last less time than before) would give close to equal dmg output( again in favor to old Malza).
So whats the point of my post here? Point is pls dont let one of your oldest champions falls to oblivion. You guys just need to find way to buff him again and to be competitive like he was before. For fun you can try fighting old malza vs new. You'll see how much stronger 1v1 he was before. He was totally underplayed before, and now it seems he is going to be even forgotten.
