First you ruin Malzahar so I can never again go Mid AP Malz.

Now, you completely ruin Aatrox.

THIS IS A GIGANTIC NERF TO ONE OF THE LEAST PLAYED CHAMPIONS IN THE GAME!!!

Please fire the employees responsible. This Aatrox rework is such a fucking mess that I can't imagine what went through the heads of the incompetent people behind it. I really just can't. It's baffling.

  • You nerfed the AS buff

  • You nerfed the biggest draw to Aatrox, his passive. Now the passive only procs when Blood well is full while fighting enemy champions.

  • You nerfed Aatrox's pushing towers ability. Aatrox can no longer fill Blood well and get the free attack speed buff vs Minions, as it drains in only 4 seconds after being filled....... because no enemy champions to attack nearby.

  • Aatrox's ONLY harass ability in lane, E, has been nerfed. You increased the health costs of it.

  • You nerfed the life steal aspect, as now I am FORCED to buy HP items to benefit from it.

  • You nerfed the amount of damage W did.

Holy fuck this is TERRIBLE game design.

What's so wrong about AP Mid Malzahar? It's true that support role is a more popular choice, but there's still nothing "wrong" with him. Old Malz's W moved into his ult, passive moved into W to make it more manual (stronger, in fact, and less situational) and he got a neat passive Banshees that he really needed due to his lack of dealing against ganks.

As a Malzahar main who has been roughly digging into Malzahar since the times that Dominion walked this earth and was played more than actual Summoner's Rift

AP Malz is fine with the rework. Was it a nerf? Yes. Is he unplayable? No, you're incredibly misinformed.
