Give Malzahar VU

He needs a full revert

I want the scary I-will-blow-you-the-fuck-up-if-you-dive-me prophet back

I want flexible (AD or AP) builds back

And I want my evolving Voidlings back

Seriously Repertoir fuck off

a Full revert would be better!

Full revert IS the answer.

Right now, the only build is powerful voidling damage when your R is attached to the enemy. Basically, it's just the old armor pen Malzahar build recycled into AP.

Literally, they took a champion with 3-5 different playstyles, and picked one, and gutted the rest. Old Malz Q felt like actual BLADES, cleaving through your enemy with some nice DPS if landed and built properly. Old Malz W worked great for damaging tanks, and forcing enemies to reposition in order to avoid getting melted. Old Malz E worked great for DOT, and applying Rylai's slow to close gaps on speedy champs, additionally giving high DPS due to Liandrys synergy, or slowing champs so voidlings could catch them. Old Malzahar passive allowed for carefully timed voidling management, and allowed players to utilize R to summon a voidling, or any other ability, AND SCALED WITH AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STAT THAT MADE YOU LEAVE THE AP MANA COMFORT ZONE TO FULLY UTILIZE IT. You could build entirely around any of these concepts, creating a versatile, and fun champion to play. His abilities aside from E were all easily avoidable, and if you avoided his W his R would not burst you down.

Sidenote, Cleanse and QSS should be flip-flopped in their effects.

New Malz is just wet tissue paper slaps, unless his voidlings are out. And then wowee, 3 gold minion spam just feels like a chore to clear out, and super annoying. Playing against new Malz just feels like a chore. Is his W up? Clear voidlings. Else, do whatever you want. You're basically just the janitorial crew cleaning up Malzahar's voidling poop between minion farming.

And NO, the solution is NOT to buff his Voidlings. The current function of voidlings on W is unfun to play against or to use. Revert.

YES THANK YOU. His splash looks so badass but his model is potato level. And some slight mechanic changes would be welcome too

I do miss putting a portal at their feet

and Vlad.

Maybe a full VGU like changing his ult to a skillshot and maybe a few other things too. He doesn't feel like a champion atm

Yes, just let them pull out their magic "update champion instantly" wand.

Hold up, there is a Malzahar Discussion and I am not already a part of it???????

Things I think that they could do better with current Malzahar.

1: Voidlings, Die To Everything. Sylas Passive. Insta Kills them. Ziggs Mine Field kills all of them. Kass E kills all of them. Amumu W ticking for 1.5 - 2 seconds kills all of them. Literally everything. Voidling's HP should scale with Malzahar's bonus HP, since he normally builds HP anyway.

Current voidlings are 65 - 201 hp with 16-50 armor and 8-25 MR. Based on Malzahar's Level.

How I think the voidling issue could be addressed is as follows.

Voidling HP 40 - 160 + (20% bonus hp)

Base Armor = 10 + 2.5 per 10 minions killed Base Magic Resist = 5 + 1.5 per 10 minions killed.

2: Spell shield. Just get a rid of it, give him a real passive at this point. Yes I have utilized it plenty of times and very well to block CC or damage that would have killed a team mate, or to have vision against a nocturne and in turn use the ulti against him. It is a very under appreciated passive that feels more like a nuisance to play against than anything else.

A number of things I think that they could do with his passive. 1: Every fourth spell Malzahar summons a voidling that has twice the stats of the other voidlings. 2: When a spell stacks 5 hits on enemy champions, Malzahar gets an additional cast of the spell for no additional mana cost. Does not include ulti. (meaning that if you land a Q on 5 enemies, you instantly get another cast of Q. Or if you get E to BOUNCE on to 5 different enemy champions, you gain an additional E)
