Malzahar E discrepancy on League Fandom Wiki.

Malzahar

On this page, Malefic Visions is said to do 220 + (80% AP) over 4 seconds at max rank. However, if you look at the damage it does every half second at max rank, the page says 25 + (10% AP). Every half second for 4 seconds means 8 ticks of damage go off. But if you add up the ratios and flat damage 8 times using the damage every half second, it comes up to only 200 + (80% AP) over 4 seconds. My question is which one is it really in game. Also, does anyone have any insight on Riot regarding Malzahar? Are they gonna re-rework him? Are they gonna revert him to s5 Malz? Are they gonna buff the AP ratio or flat damages of his Q because 210 + (65% AP) is really pathetic compared to most mages if you look at their ratios. Does anyone know, game-sense wise, how effective adaptive helm is against malzahar. Like does it just render him completely useless like QSS does? I really enjoy this champion, but I am apprehensive of maining him again due to his weak base damages and ratios and how it appears adaptive helm destroys him.

I wouldn’t worry about adaptive helm too much, definitely keep an eye out for it, but don’t worry about it too much

I have played Malzahar since VS event in S7, and up till now I have only seen it like.... 3 to 5 times total, implying its a usually forgotten item, and if you ask anyone for an item to deal with Malzahar your gonna get QSS more often than Adaptive Helm

What you need to remember is that his Q refreshes malefic visions, meaning that you can potentially have malefic visions do 300% of its damage by timing your q and ults perfectly. Not to mention that the silence is potent on his q, and it is essentially a spam ability later in the game. But yeah he is actually pretty weak rn ngl.

His Q feels fine late game, it's spammable, has decent damage and it's an AoE silence at the end of the day, it's probably the most easily accessible silence in the game.

Malz's weakest point is early game, his starting mana sucks and he can only push or poke, he can't really do both unless someone lets you bounce E onto them.
