Malzahar pentakills are always lame, because you just spaceaids and walk away. Not cool. Pick a real champ, that takes skill.

All champions take skill, just because the mechanics behind his abilities aren't complex doesn't mean that they don't require any thought.

In the 1 time that I did get a penta on malz, it was a 1v5 after all my teammates died in a fight in the jungle and it was no cakewalk. Not to mention that it is rare for a malz to even get a triple kill since he's better at supporting teammates in fights nowadays.

I'm sure this just sounds like blind fanboyism to you though so whatever.

Click to target ability that spreads when the target dies. Real skillful bro.

You're forgetting that it does next to no damage by itself until 25-30 minutes in since it's damage and ratios were nerfed and that once it gets placed, his new semi-reliable source of damage (voidlings) won't attack anything else. Of course he could ult you and his voidlings would try to run back to attack you... for 2.5 seconds.

And of course he could just put malefic visions on you as soon as you get close, but if he does that then he lost the ability to farm with anything but his slow aa's, he won't get any mana back which is hard on him since he has high ability costs, and if you walk away from him and his voidlings, they won't be able to reach you anymore.

So no it isn't mechanically difficult, it's a point and click, but that doesn't mean that there is never any thought when he uses it.

Edit: damn this came out longer than I thought it would but if i simplified it to "There's skill involved bro" then I would just sound stupid.

Reply to my own post to refer to late game Malz kept short:

Relies on DoT to kill enemies, usually requiring his ult which can be countered by an item or an ability.
Very slow so once his new passive gets proc'd by an aoe slow or aa he gets melted.
Can defend against a whole team as long as they don't focus him down.
Can reliably keep one person (Usually forced out on a diver or assassin) out of a fight for 2.5 seconds.
Can deal with tanks easily when he gets a slow(Rylai's)
If the enemy team doesn't know how he works, he can usually get free damage.
