When I saw that riot admitted their bad decision with the kog rework, amd decided to revert it, I was actually incredibly impressed with how riot had started to admit bad decisions and take action on them.

But from what ive seen happen to malzahar this patch is making riot look like their stubborn old selves, how long will it take for you to realise that you failed malzahars rework entirely, it was packed full off poorly thought out decisions such as the stupid passive and making his kit revolve entirely around his voidlings, even as ap malz, which is something meddler said they would NOT do. And now, they are attempting to bandage poor decisions with more poor decisions and removing the very essence of the champions kit. What I mean by this is taking the waveclear away from a control mage, a class basically defined by waveclear, in return for what, sligtly more untrliable damage and clunkier voidling management??

As much as malzahar pre rework wasnt exactly the healthy it was a damn sight better than this abominination you have created. Ap malzahar should be based around his E, enough said, now it dosent do much in terms of damage or waveclear now and is merely a tool to command your, now almost useless voidlings about, which are now ONLY useful for fighting in a 1v1 since they dont help waveclearing too much anymore, and immediatley get killed in a teamfight, since the 3 hp bs didnt do much more to stop stray aoe from killing them. As for ad malz, everyone would say ad malz was better pre rework, and it actually took some skill to manage the old passive, rewarding this management with your army of voidlings that actually did good damage and didnt immeadietly die to anything.

Im not sure if sny rioter will read this, but im just gonna say admit your mistakes the malzahar rework is not only a faliure in terms of gameplay, but also an abomination balance wise.

Can we go back to the Malzahar with individually strong spells please?

Cause I miss the tower tanking Voidlings

As well as the vision you got from Q (Which Riot claims was a bug after 6 years... lol not buying it)

And the ability to place a max hp % pool under your frontline while ulting a diver going after your adc

The AP ratios

The flat damage ult that could damage through QSS

And don't forget the 5 movement speed they took away that they probably won't give back after the Rylai's nerf.

Rito does not consider Malzahar a control mage.

And, frankly, I think most players would agree with them on that.
