Snow Day Malzahar hits the slopes

Riot·12/12/2014, 9:24:45 PM·1 votes·49,418 views

The Poropocalypse is nigh! Snow Day Malzahar is shredding the Snowdown slopes, blanketing the world in icy slush as he goes. And with creepy void poros loitering at his side, it’s clear that visions of sugar plums aren’t dancing in this prophet’s head.

Hit the Snowdown slopes with Snow Day Malzahar, available until 2 AM PST on January 6 in the League of Legends store for 975 RP.

Anyone notice how Orianna is shielding Malzahar in her pictures, but he's attacking her in his? Rude

Why not make a poro-master Syndra ? Spawns poros for q, can toss and launch them, then the a barrage of pure fluffiness for the ultimate!

I don't know if it's just me but this skin looks kinda cheap compared to other snow day skins. Really wish Malzahar would have a vu. Classic model just doesn't match the art. Vizier could be interesting because it's him before he was possessed right? Idk what color would represent his power pre-void but I think the voidlings could be illusions or visions. Shadow Prince model doesn't really bring anything to the character, use the Djinn model for it. Also add sand particles and have shadowy nightmare voidlings? Make a true Djinn skin. Genies/Djinns are a really interesting motif, could easily be a legendary. Go full on Jafar... smoke legs while moving ... (blue wind particles and scarab voidlings?). I'm sure a truly unique design could be made. Overlord is pretty good, thought the yellow eyes on his helm are really cheesy, particles could be purple/white?

AWESOME, this skin will probably make me break my 1-champ-1-skin policy, that's how awesome he looks. HO HO HO drool grin flail around

PLEASE, tell me this one shoots/throws/sneezes snowballs or at least a white enrgy thingy as normal attack.

Thank you guys soooo soooo much for this skin! As a Malz main (whoa-what? never saw that coming!) I've been anticipating some more attention to his person for quite a while now.

I love the design of this skin, however I have a few concerns involving both his (e) animation as well as his infamously terrible hood. The bubbles don't really flatter the image of what a name like "Snow Day" typically implies as much as it would "McFlurry Malzahar". I noticed that Malz has a parka hood which he isn't really using. I would be a lot more amiable in tolerating his hood if he shared the same mechanic neon strike VI and night hunter Rengar with /t (taunt) and would pull up his other hood over his diaper-cap-thing.

Keep up the good work, looking forward to a full VU...I'm still buying the skin despite this.

While this might be the best Malzahar skin out while also being nicely priced, I feel it lacks the awesomeness that the other two skins have. It seems like you had the solid idea of transforming his minion into a poro and changing his W to be a really cool blizzard, but besides that didn't know what to do with him. His Q is just recolored with some frost particle at the end, his ult is recolored with some snow blobs around the enemy, and his E is probably the most disappointing part. What are those blue blobs supposed to be? I like the frost wind particle effect at the end, but the blue blobs are disappointing. They could have easily been tiny snow flakes that grow in size, just how the blobs change size. I know you probably left the blobs there to be similar to the base skin particle effect so everyone knows you are against a malzahar, but I think people know malzahar enough for you to have changed it up a bit (just like how you are changing dragonslayer braum because you think everyone knows his skills now). Ultimately, like I said in the beginning, this is a good skin that is definitely worth the price, but I have a feeling that it could have been a better skin with a bit more love.

Okay, I get that poros are cute and that Riot can milk them for hundreds and hundreds of moneys from their supporters, but I can NOT be the only one who thinks a Voidling purely made of ice would have looked about 5000-times-better than a poro voidling. The purple is not cute paired with the blue/white/grey of the ice feet. I feel like this skin was perfect until I saw the voidling. Riot, just because we love poros doesn't mean they need to be in every darn snowdown skin now. Please consider this.

NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO USE THIS SKIN!! Whoever does is corrupting and enslaving innocent poros and using them as pawns in battle AND LETTING THEM DIE!! Even poro rider sejuani's poro doesn't die. Snow day Malzahar is a most foul and cruel creature that should be camped the moment he sets foot upon the rift.

Quit complaining about what is, by far, the best malzahar skin yet. If you don't like it then don't buy it and go away.

Can this be a screen shot instead of a skin? I think of it as a screen shot cause of the back round.. The champion who is beast.... and the reason why this awesome Malzahar skin should be a background is cause for my computer witch it powered by Gnar running is that for my background is of Corki .... So this would be an honor if you could put this as a background for everyone... You'll hear from me again about the next summertime or winter time skins... One more quick suggestion.... Would you please put a Pool Party Zac and Zilean skin for us??!!

Oh i forgot to put 3 more suggestions, Here they are! *Instead of a Pool Party Zilean we could do a Ahri pool party skin?!?! **Could you please nerf Katarina ?? ***This would be too op>> BUFF Riven Thank you got looking at this commet<3 Biggest fan ever Malphite Malphite Malphite Malphite Malphite
