he is one of the few champions that have that aoe silence and it helps him trade without getting blown up
its also pretty hard to land but it feels rewarding when you do
maybe the length can be tuned down because 3 second aoe silence is pretty crazy but please keep it instead of adding some mechanic like it cancels channels or gives some wierd passive stack x.x
JhomasTefferson1 votesThey really just need to nerf malefic visions. I swear, its near nid spear damage and range in a point and click.
Mongoose1 votesits only 320 + 80% ap
with a kinda short range so if you arent silence just lay everything you got on him and he gets rekt
Not Katarina1 votesAoE silence is the last of my hatred. I only want them to change his R. Suppression is so ughhh.
Lord Boltrix1 votesWell, that is Malzahar for you, he is reliable in that he can hold the mid lane against most comps, and he punishes people who try to all-in like Yasuo and Fizz. People's issue with him is that you can't tower-dive him without screwing yourself over, in which case he is no different from Morgana. That issue is a low-elo mentality where everyone wants to be a LoL hero, and get the sickest kills. The issue is that he can't burst you 100-0 unless he can get at least his suppression on top of his pool, in which case it's your fault usually for being so close to him... it's not like he has any sort of mobility beyond... well, floating.
He sort of functions like an anti-assassin assassin, in that he will focus the guy who tries to get in and kill your squishy members, but after that he doesn't contribute much to a teamfight beyond a bit of poke and maybe some zoning with his pool, unless he can land that silence. However, he has very lengthy cooldowns even with CDR, which is what limits him in a teamfight beyond locking down one person and then being reduced to less than reliable pokes. He's not broken because he has clear limitations and he only functions as an effective duelist, and the issue is that duelists are either very good in teamfights or very bad at teamfights, and Malzahar falls into the latter.
Simply put, people who play Malzahar like to play safe and conservatively, they only move to kill on their terms, as long as you don't give them the chance, it just becomes a farm lane.

Malzahar will also lose lane nearly every time vs somebody who outrages him. As a malzahar player, nothing annoys me more
