lvl7 Malz who has been playing Malz since S2. I agree 100%. He was much better before, the new design is either broken as shit, or is a worthless piece of shit that gets all his damage canceled by one AoE spell. His primary damage was NEVER his minions, it was his E for DPS his W for AoE and his Q for burst. Riot, stop changing champion identities to no longer function the same way.

all his power got put into W which gets obliterated by AOE.

i was made post just like this and some ppl downvote.

is there any chance to force riot to undo this stupid rework ? Plz bring back old malzahar. and make malzahar great again

They fucked up because they put pretty much all of his power into his passive, then nerfed it repeatedly.

I feel like if his passive was so much of a problem, then they should have given him a new one. He was nerfed patch after patch with no compensation.

It's like Riot purposely goes around to crap on Mage champs.

He's basically the mage version of illaoi, that's how much people hate fighting him.

RozairSep 4, 20167 votes

his damage output is unrelyable and takes forever and has too much counterplay. Run away, then come back and melt his face

Handy Sandy Sep 4, 20163 votes

All champions have counterplay.

Too much counter play is bad.

Too much counter play is bad.

click and point silence + suspend, high dmg voidlings that do crazy dps, a silence and a safe laning phase all while having a shield that blocks an ability.

GULAG 4 USep 4, 20161 votes

I didn't say malzahar had too much counterplay.

ArkaleSep 4, 20163 votes

The silence is a skill shot, and voidlings don't do much damage until there's 3, but yeah his kit is broken in good and bad ways for the person playing him.

He either needs to be thoughtfully reworked, or reset to his old kit.

Really? Cause whenever I face a Malz, I find a lack of counterplay. Wanna trade? Nope, cause his passive soaks it up and he plays REALLY safe until it comes back up, so you can't interact with him in lane. Then, post six, you can do NOTHING against him. Wanna trade? Well, he's just going to ult you, and if you survived that, his little cronies are going to chase you down and finish the job. And those things HURT too. I personally hated pre-rework Malz, but I hate this one more. I feel like it solved none of the issues that he had and if anything, created more problems that Riot is going to have to look at down the line.

Basically malz turned into a duelist mage. He can duel anyone who doesnt have zhonyas/qss/AoE. I have seen him quite a bit as a niche top lane bully against certain melee champs.

He's all right, I guess, but I prefer the old Malz. Something about the new one just hasn't clicked with me.

'perfectly functioning'

Lol.

This proves you have no idea how to balance a game. The new version is just as bad as the old one. Take off the rose-tinted glasses. He needs a total VGU.
