Stop crying about Malzahar nerfs

First of all, the nerfs aren't even that big. They're a COUPLE less % on his least useful spell. Gutted, right? Second of all, the last nerf he received in his entire patch history was patch V1.0.0.120:

Null Zone.png Null Zone Base damage reduced to 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8% of the enemy's max health from 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9% of the enemy's max health. Ability power ratio reduced to 1% per 100 ability power (0.01) from 1% per 80 ability power (0.0125). Cooldown reduced to 14 seconds from 16.

Otherwise, he's literally only been buffed or bug fixed.... So when I see a huge upvoted thread about Malzahar being nerfed "again", it just leads me to believe the stereotype about yall being sheep even more. Stop being stupid.

The nerf does nothing to solve whatever problems he may have. The nerf won't even exist until he hits level 14 for the vast majority of Malzahars. Most games will end before Malzahar is even level 16. However, it is a VERY significant nerf to his late game. Typical squishies have 1800 hp without items at 18. At 18, 5.24 Malzahar loses 2% max hp damage per second. That's 36 damage per second, 180 over the full 5 seconds. Most non-ultimate abilities lose 20 damage at rank 5 when nerfed. He's losing 25% of the live base damage (40%>30%) at rank 5.

Honestly it's really a nerf to AD malz, which I will accept if they ever fix his damn voidling interactions.
