Made this guide recently after facing a Malzahar in lane, thought it might help a few people out if they are having trouble vs him.

Yeah I needed to group sooner that game, the enemy team had a jungle Irelia that was wrecking the rest of the team.

Something people should take from this also: You kept poking him even if its just an auto. It keeps the passive on cooldown as long as he is taking any form of damage.

Yeah, definitely an important thing to do, during this game I actually ulted him with the rockets at one point and the passive came up right as the first rockets connected so he got the damage reduction and survived.

That had to suck when his passive came back up right before the rocket salvo hit. =/

Yeah he would have died if it hadn't, it was right at the exact second before they started to connect.

From what the enemy team was saying after the match that was apparently closer to the Malzahars reaction in voice chat to how the lane was going.

Hahaha! That is hilarious! I think they might have been expecting a "free win" possibly due to his win-rate for top. What's funny is the play rate in Plat+ for top is 1.05%. At least that is what it says on champion.gg for Malzahar.
