Views on the current state of Malzahar
Just wanting to know the general consensus on the current state of Malzahar since his rework.
Just wanting to know the general consensus on the current state of Malzahar since his rework.
I feel like since his nerfs he is pretty weak, but maybe that's just me being bad at him
On a side note, I think AD Malz Jungle is pretty good right now, though I know no one but Aqua Dragon plays him like that
I wish he did burst damage again. I know there's a learning curve to get used to his new kit, but damn I miss that burst! I feel like I can't kill anything unless I have the absolute perfect setup, and his voidlings are so much shittier than before.
I don't mind his new kit, but I miss the burst on his R and wish he had a weaker, more generally-useful passive. When it's good, it's god-tier, and when it's shit (as it is currently) it's basically non-existent and just creates a miserable mini-game of how-fast-can-Kayle-pop-my-passive-this-time. Because the voidlings are so weak (as in armor and HP) anyone with even a tiny bit of AOE damage can just destroy them instantly. I wish they did less damage, I wish my E did more damage (or Q, I'm not picky) and I wish they scaled with my tankiness, so when I built tanky items they could also benefit and maybe (please, Riot) tank and destroy towers again.
I feel like they took a champion that a skilled Malzahar player could do a lot with (take towers, tricky things with AA and voidlings, poke, siege, CC, tank shred, burst) and turned him into a champion that can do one thing: do some damage and silence people.
Which... is nice. Don't get me wrong, I still love that silence. But I just don't know what I'm doing wrong and why I can't play him the way I used to. I don't know, I just really miss old Malz. Something about that kit just felt right, and sometimes, this kit does, too, but more often than not it just feels like the weaker kit with less options.
Wheres my revert option?!
