I laned against him as Twitch in bot lane one game (normals lol) and was just suprised at how I could basically deal no damage while his shield was up. I went to his LoL info page and learned about the damage reduction but it doesnt say how much. Does anyone know the math involved?
Also if Riot could put this math on Malzahar's info page it would be great.

Here you go. Great source of information.
blackfootedfox1 votesThank you! It just struck me as odd when I was Twitch, I almost reported it as a bug because I thought it only blocked cc.
Void Nargacuga1 votesYour welcome. It does block damage up to 90% but it has some serious down time. 30 seconds at level 1 and it only gets shorter when he hits 6, 11, and 16. And the fact that it lingers for 1 second is something to keep in mind. Though if you keep him taking some form of damage it won't start ticking down till its up again.
Valexfor1 votesVoid Shift phases out Malzahar, making him immune to crowd control and taking 90% reduced damage, lingering for 1 second after taking damage or blocking a crowd control effect.
From the wiki. I would suggest you to go to the wiki when you need to check some numbers, like in this case since the info on there seem to be quite accurate. At least from my own experience ^^-
