Its pretty much over for us.
Anyone who did main Malz and appreciated the different applications of his kit aren't being heard because the player base was too small a group for Riot to care about.
Anyone who didn't main Malz only thought of him as a walking one man suppression and believes he is better now because they aren't being blown up for positioning badly due to his passive. It lures people into the false belief that they are good at Malz and that Malz is stronger than before when they would have otherwise died a whole lot more without the passive.
Unfortunately the majority has won this round.
