Malz Reworked - Vote to Revert. Thanks but No Thanks
Hi RIOT,
Thanks for making him a god, but no thanks. Can we please go back and pretend nothing happened?
Hi everyone,
Vote yes to this post if you want RIOT to revert Malz.
My 2 cents on re-worked Malz.
I main'ed Malz since season 2. This champ is my only reason I continued to play LoL. I upgraded my cpu, screen, keyboard, mouse, internet speed just to play Malz. All my 3 accounts are Malz-Only with over 3K combined games. I solo'ed dragon level 3 back in the day (youtube it). A malz-junkie. Enough said.
I love(ed) this champ so much, primarily because his farming method is so much fun - not just a "point and click", but rather a complex series of techniques - have to calculate E-jump, E-timing, and control his voidling with spells, to name a few. I tried playing other champs, but their farming is not for me.
In other aspects of the game, I knew about his strengths and countless weaknesses and limitations, basically a do-or-die champ; considered boring by many people. No mobility, slow af, self-locking ult, no escape, QSS, etc etc etc. But when it comes to killing an enemy, it satisfied my sadistic fit like no other - slow but complete melt, tank or carry, making me imagine the other player's agony (and cussing) in the other side of the screen during the 4 seconds. I would just load up on AP and MP all the way, f**k defensive stats and items, forcing me to be very careful with positioning, basically a psy.
Now - this champ just doesn't die. I can be aggressive af. When laning, I dont have to try evading the enemy's initiating spell for me to attack - i can just plow my way through and beat up the guy since my passive will most likely waste his first spell, making him vulnerable to rape. I got a Banshee in steroids for free from level 1 in exchange of ~30% dmg... and this ~30% dmg was the "overkill dmg" on the old Malz when successfully landing a full combo. Now, his full combo is easier to land (W+R is combined) while the 3 voidlings are having an orgy+bukake on the now easily approachable enemy. Its ridiculous to the point that i can't even play Malz anymore because even my teammates will ban him if we dont get first pick.
One thing i really like from the rework is the reduced delay on Q in exchange of dmg. His higher accuracy makes him more relevant in team fights, which was one of his biggest weaknesses and a main reason why no-one played this champ. This was a fair trade.
RIOT, can we please pretend nothing happened, consider a sunk cost the time and effort you spent reworking this champ, and please revert the old Malz? Perhaps you can recycle and modify the work you did on a new champ. To go from one of the most obscure and least played champs in the game to the most banned must tell us something here....
Thanks for listening.
Best,
SAAAA~!
