++AIDS =Ridiculous HP Shred I know because I tried it and it was hilarious to watch(A bit sad too because I know they're going to nerf him) Not that I really care, I'm just pointing it out.

He's always done that though (in terms of actual % hp shred), Liandries has more AP now but I doubt its enough to powerspike him into being overpowered (especially since getting more damage does nothing to fill in his weaknesses; if anything it only exaggerates them more since he'll push faster now; sort of a strength and a weakness all at once to be honest)

He's still easy to camp, given that he has no options outside of 1V1's, and his only hard CC roots him as well (seriously, theres a reason Malzahar doesn't see pro play; his ultimate, while strong, becomes a liability to him when people know what they're doing)

As someone with plenty of Malzahar experience, his options during a gank are to either run and PRAY he gets away without any hard CC, or turn and try to burst one person down before you die.

not like these items interact in any different way than before, but yeah, malz op. make his ultimate be a slow instead of a supression for balance.

That would ruin Malzahar, it would need to at least be a stun (the purpose of his ultimate is to hold his target in place for his other skills to tick, and for his voidling to attack you)

A snare or root wouldn't work because any CC will disrupt the channel, stopping his ult entirely (which should understandably be a problem since you would essentially make his entire method of doing anything in duels, laughably easy to stop)

while he's stuck channeling? I Doubt that will be changed.

I don't really see anything happening to him for a while. Especially since he's been off the radar for quite a while. And it's champions like these that Riot hoped Would benefit from the AP item changes.

It's also important to know what Malz is good for. Dueling. His Ult leaves him Vulnerable, but Reks in a 1v1. And now that more options exist for a mage to split push. I would most likely pick him as a top lane split pusher.

Yeah, because Runeglaive is not OP in him right now...

On topic. Malzahar is in a good position, beign a beast 1v1 and nothing more, beign shuted down by champs like Lux he will never see the OP tier.
