Why is Malz getting what Kassadin is supposed to have?
-Edited to include the real point- Note: The Void Stone passive should have been on Malzahar to begin with, instead of Kassadin.
Why the hell is Malzahar's new passive EXACTLY what Kassadin's should be in the first place?
Ignores unit collision -> immune to CC
15% less magic damage -> reduced damage
I'm more upset that Kass is being ignored.
They need to rework Kass soon, so he can actually be an anti-mage to go along with this Mage update. It's sad enough Malzahar is one of his biggest counters already.
In the past, it was enough to simply take less magic damage and be extremely mobile. Now, there's enough CC, burst, and mobile picks to make that mean less. AND Kassadin no longer has his silence, so as it stands his Q can only effectively disrupt Xerath's ultimate, Nunu's ultimate, or Malz's/Urgot's if and only if the target's someone else, making him the least anti-mage excuse for an anti-mage ever. Every other assassin is better suited to that title, even with nothing in their kits that inherently says "pick me against Mages," since they have stronger early bursts and don't have to ult four times after waiting for Rod of Ages to stack to kill someone.
The game state has changed, and there's no reason to pretend the God of seasons 2 to 3 is still top of the food chain, and leave him completely untouched.
