The malzahar nerf

Let me start by saying i played A LOT of malz back in season 3 a lot in season 4 and a little bit in season 5. i played malz and the pbe wasnt the most impressed but he was fine. then they nerfed him on pbe and now hes really bad. lets start with his moves.

• passive-really strong nice addition, gives him time to get his combo off, stops those instances where annie or someone would use a move right as you ult and u get stunned out of your ulti.
• Q- they did some good things like make it less mana no delay and cut its cd by a third, however they cut the base damage and ap ratio by a pretty big chunk, so now you have to land multiple to make up for the nerfs. which is fine but makes his kit wonky trying to use q's while focusing on farming so for the most part you will just get 1 q in so overall i see this as a nerf. only time it may be a buff is extended team fights.
• W- this at first to people who never played malz may look like hes really strong but do not be fooled more dudes does not = more power. once people realize if they dont fight malz with 10 dudes up then this move will have no use. all this move does is give you an on use minion for most situations. you almost will never get 4-6 minions hitting an enemy unless they misplay.
• E- this nerf imo is why malz is terrible now. i havent played him tank or ad yet, but im pretty sure that is where we will see him in a patch or two if we see him at all. this nerf is huge, at 20 minutes i have been finding my self not being able to clear out caster minions without using another move. now rather than using an e on the wave and harassing your enemy you have to use your whole combo to clear.
• R- this move is just his old w with a stun. theres almost no reason to stick your neck out for the whole combo since your e and q do no dmg. basicly when ur catching someone out instead of one shotting them you are ulting and hoping your team follows up.

all in all he got all of his moves nerfed for that passive.
