Malzahar

So I just had a game against an AD Malzahar . What surprised me most was the amount of damage his w did building AD. I personally don't think an AP caster should have so much damage building AD for what seems to be just that one ability.

It does % max HP damage, so it will deal a lot of damage no matter what he builds. I think the tradeoff for losing all the damage on his Q and E makes up for his W still doing decent damage.

First off about Malzahar's Null Zone (the purple void pool on the ground) it deals damage with this setup as long as you stand on it:

  • Magic Damage Per Second: 4 / 4.5 / 5 / 5.5 / 6% (+ 1% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health
  • Total Magic Damage: 20 / 22.5 / 25 / 27.5 / 30% (+ 5% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health

My guess is that he was also running http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/7/71/Deathfire_Touch_mastery_2016.png/revision/latest?cb=20151103094525 .

That is a MONSTER of a keystone on him and should always be used with him. Anyways on to why it probably dealt so much damage.

Deathfire Touch:

  • Dealing ability damage to enemy champions applies a bleed, dealing 1 (+ 3.125% AP) (+ 7.5% bonus AD) magic damage every half-second for a duration based on their type.
  • Single Target: 4 seconds for a total of 8 (+ 25% AP) (+ 60% bonus AD) magic damage.
  • Area of effect: 2 seconds for a total of 4 (+ 12.5% AP) (+ 30% bonus AD) magic damage.
  • Damage over time: 1 second for a total of 2 (+ 6.25% AP) (+ 15% bonus AD) magic damage.

Considering that it has a decent bonus AD ratio its understandable why it dealt so much damage.
