Please Change Malzahar
He's too annoying to lane against Mid.
Its just continuous spell spams that you can't out-trade. His shield makes it so that most of the time it takes too much effort to trade back if he keeps good distance.
"Well he'll push so just tell JG to show up"... well I shouldn't have to rely on the Jungler to be able to lane. Also, just because my Jungler could show up doesn't mean his couldn't. And very few mages even have the advantage on him 1 vs 1 so 2 vs 2 is still up in the air and probably in his favour.
He can out-push anyone and then past level 6 he will somehow 100-0 you with very little counterplay. The only counterplay is if you backed earlier than him to rush some MR to gimp your own damage... and then he'll push and go roam and get free kills with his point and click Ult and snowball anyways.
If you stay, he's guaranteed (if in good hands) to 100-0 Ult you to death either because the JG came for a free Gank for him or he somehow just 100-0s you. Either that or you backed and he stayed/roamed and then gets 1-2 levels up on you. And for the rest of the game you won't be able to 1 vs 1 him until you catch up.
Please nerf this champion. He's way too un fun to play against.
js on and it builds into an assians weapon. Mal is easy to beat in and out of lane. pretty useless in a team fight as well. If anything he needs buffed. His spells are so slow if you get hit, its because your bad. His one true chance to kill someone is Ult and a single item counters that
