I Triple Voidling Dog Dare You.

I dare somebody to try and tell me AD Malzahar dose not work. -It was a normal game, not a custom.

AD Malzahar is an amazing and fun way to play. Malzahar's voidlings have a 1-1 ratio for AD. This is then boosted up to 1.5 after 7 seconds. Plus 50% armor. Then after 14 seconds, they get 100% attack speed.
Additionally, they also get all of your Armor Pen ratios and they apply black cleaver stacks too. While you are down in angels, your voidlings have 4 seconds of free time to rip faces off. AP Malz dose this with an hourglass. You have more tanky item options. You can basically AA while only running. Can solo dragon pretty comfortably. (Aqua Dragon 33 used to be able to do it at 3 minutes. Dont know if he can with the changes to jungle.) Can block skill shots with W, by dropping a voidling in the path of the skill shot. (Lee sin Q, Xerath Stun, Ez Q, anything that hit's one target.) Jungling, even if you' started lane, is super easy when it comes to clearing. (Early it's slow if you start out in the jungle.) Openets always underestimate you. People forget to kill voidlings in team fights. You have amazing peel for the ADC with your ult. Black cleaver will also help your ADC rip that mean tank apart. Strongest dullest. (IMO) Fastest Tower Muncher. (IMO)

Down sides? Voidlings are hard to control.

AD Malz has been a staple in Dominion for a long time.

He's pretty hilarious.

That like taking the best of the no child left behind downys in the special ed room. Showing them pretty colors, and expecting them to know how to play.

Youj had a decent game against bad players. If you yourself had skill you wouldn't have chased kills beyond 15. ud have tried to end faster ending roughly 2-25 kills. Going for that many IMO shows lack of experience.

Heres this so you don't have to use a cell phone... THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE BEST part of ur post... camera photo screenshot http://screenshot.net/

AD malzahar only works when youre playing against people who are not very good at the game, alternately, youre very very good at the game which i maintain a healthy doubtfulness about. There are other champs who do this style of AD fighting much better, why not pick one of them? It's easy to make any champ look OP when you just gush their raw stats

AD Malz needs slightly more support in the play style in order to be a fully functioning off-build in my opinion since other ADs can perform much better without the need of casting 4 spells or relying on AI.

Malz can do a lot of your points even if AP :) but who said AD Malz doesnt work? Its so good, he has high base damage on his abilities and his ult is perfect when you have 3 voidlings destroying someone.

captain no longer affects minions. you might want to consider using alacrity, homeguard, or furor

There are a few things that really suck about AD malzahar now though.

captain boot changes, yeah you have , but that's not something you can get quickly and it's not gold efficient
to much random AOE, between skills and shreds through your voidlings before they can start to mass
he has a very slow ramp up period, where he is left fairly vulnerable to assassins if your team isn't very attentive.

AD malzahar is kind of the opposite of AP malzahar in that his damage is back ended towards the end of a fight not quickly at the start by pressing all the buttons.

On the other hand you were playing with only about 100 games played, as you get up against higher level opponents they will not let your voidlings go unchecked and because the meta is based around assassins and OP as shit burst damage or crits. You will start to have more trouble.

It's completely viable though, i've won plenty of silver and gold ranked games as AD malzahar (granted it was S3), but with the game constantly re-enforcing a meta which AD malzahar doesn't fit, i'm sad to see it continue to suffer indirect nerfs.
