I am done with the Malazhar crap
I don't typically like bad mouthing Riot or game designers as it is their job, not mine, to know how to balance a game and make it fun. Which is fine typically. but Meddler on Malzahar. > {quoted} > > We've got some Malz stuff in 7.3 (probably) as well.

Come on! This is just a straight nerf to Malazhar and while it does help take care of some of the issues with support Malzahar it hurts Midlane Malzahar even more. Malzahar is supposed to be a lane bully, with strong pushing ablities and be an anti-assassin mage. How can Malzahar turn on an assassin when the major source of his damage now, wont even do anything for most of Malz's counter-engage.
I'm not gonna lie, Voidlings are why support Malzahar is so strong. They deal so much damage and support Malzahar can just save them to sick on the enemy bot lane who end up with little choice but to run away. However, their are better ways to fix the issue.
The best would be to just give us back old
before the rework. Back when he was basically my go to midlaner because he actually pushed early on and bullied people in lane. Back when you could tell if Malzahar had any skin that wasn't Snowday Malz, because he didn't have that giant banshee's veil surrounding him. But that's not going to happen. Otherwise Mordekaiser would have been reverted long ago.
They could still potentially revert the 6.23 changes where they made the issue in the first place. That version of Malzahar wasn't too bad. Once I got used to it was fun. Just change the minion damage taken from epic monsters or something so they are so effective at taking it since that was a problem Riot had. It would also allow Malzahar to actually clear minion waves again. And to be somewhat of a bully in lane because his voidlings wont die while trying to kill the first minion.
But to really balance Malzahar just take some of the power out of the Voidlings. Put it back into his E or Q to allow his to do things with out the Voidlings.
Sorry this was ranty but I would just like Malzahar to be a midlane bully, that is the anti-assassin again. These changes aren't going to help Malz, they just gonna make him feel worse to play mid.
