Hi Riot. I think Malzahar's ultimate is really weak compared to other ultimates, especially considering the 1v1 suppression effect it provides isn't as useful in later stages of the game. Would you consider buffing him?

Jamaree4 votesIt's a point and click of one of the hardest CC in the game...it isn't allowed to do a lot of damage.
BeatzBoyFTW3 votesYou're asking to buff a point & click CC ultimate? Especially on a champion like Malz who has a 90% damage reduction & CC-immunity and having a kit where his AID voidlings does the damage for him, alongside yet another point & click E that helps to give a target?
Seriously?
ZephyrDrake2 votesYeah an ability that forces people to waste gold on an item they might not even use effectively otherwise it completely removes you from the game for a while definitely needs to have its damage buffed...[slayer-jinx-unamused]

^ Riot could also remove his base damage on ult, increase his E to 50/70/90/110/130+0.20AP per second, dealing damage at half second ticks, for four seconds or just give his E a 20/40/60/80/100% damage bonus against minions. Heck even increasing the spread range would be amazing.

"A mechanic no one likes", are you even reading or just spouting nonsense? My major suggestion is buffing his E in exchange for ult base damage being removed again. Because malzahar is not only the weakest dedicated mage in terms of base damage, he is extremely outclassed by almost everyone else in the mid lane, more power needs to be brought back into his kit in a way that keeps him in line with riots "soft support" approach to him. Changing his E to read like every other DoT will allow them to buff the ability without people like you whining up a storm, and changing the tick rate to 0.5s instead of 1s means that it will be much more effective at last hitting.
Truth be told, id also advocate for turning malefic visions into a 30/20/10s ultimate, making it ACTUALLY good, and then giving him a new E. Heres an example; E: Null zone (8s cooldown); Malzahar brings the void into the world, creating an area (the size of a nasus E) that reduces enemy movement speed by 20/ 30/40/50/60 base MS +1 per 10AP and reduces their magic resist by 15/20/25/30/35% +1% per 100AP. If an enemy with malefic visions dies within range of the area malefic visions will spread to the area, dealing 33% damage to all enemies within the area.
R: Malefic visions (30/20/10s cooldown): Deals 40/60/80+0.2AP per second to a targeted enemy for five seconds. If an enemy afflicted by malefic visions dies, malefic visions will spread to the nearest enemy or null zone. An enemy can only be affected by one malefic vision at a time.
