If you move close enough, then you can reactivate this ability and retrieve your dagger dealing 50/75/100/125/150 (+40% of ability power) physical damage to him/her slowing his/her movement speed by 20% for 1 sec and cause him/her to taunt nearby resurrected minions for 3 sec. Your basic attacks reduce remaining cooldown of this ability by 1 sec. You will be considered disarmed disabling all your on-hit effects from items and active abilities from items while your dagger is inside of an enemy target.

LORE

"Passages from the Book of Ancient Evils" Page 55. There is a dark place without time, hope or happiness. There slumbers creatures of great and horrifying power. They live in a world of chaos and evil, thus they serve only chaos and evil. Architects of this dark world could be called by many names, but none of them would be true. That world is nothing like our own and we, mortals, shouldn't be a part of it. However, if the times comes when we open ourselves to this dark and hostile world... then all will be lost. ................ Page 93. There is beings beyond our understanding and they lurk in our fears. They consume our souls, our hope and dreams, and leaves nothing behind. These creatures should never be names and their names should be forever forgotten, because in those names lies power. Such power like our world have never seen before. If someone dared to speak the names of these beings, then they will answer in a worst way possible. ................ Page 165. Of all dark beings hidden in the world beyond, there is six most evil of them all. They rule their world not by force or by word, but by their unimaginable powers. ................

Notes of dead scientist who tried to make an artificial portal to the void

  1. There is strange magical power leaking into our world. I discovered that it have a strange interaction with dead tissue. The only problem on testing it is the time required to gather enough of this magic.

  2. I discovered that this magical power's concentration in the same area is almost always the same, however its amount should be steadily increasing. The only conclusion would be that someone is consuming this magic.

  3. Experiment failed. Maybe it is impossible to gather that much of this dark energy into one place without right conditions.

  4. Yes, i succeeded in making a small portal into otherworld. It seems it have some kind of life forms in it. Took some samples and then closed my portal. More testing is required to determine type of life forms from that world and if it is possible for humans to live there.

  5. What have i done... This, these creatures shouldn't be... That world shouldn't be explored. It should be destroyed. That monster... His voice. Oh god, his evil voice. I still hear him, i still hear him even right now. He is calling, he... That monster. He want me to say his name, but i don't want to. He makes me do thing. He makes... he makes me do things to myself.

  6. I am destroying all my life work. It is evil. I... i must be forgotten. No one can know what i did. What... it... no... NOO... it made me do it. I can't live like this. This is my final will and if someone is reading it then please, please... don't do what i did. Don't look in the darkness... Never... Don't say his name... His name...

Ritual Of Summoning Malzahar with others members of his cult finally managed gathered power required to open the gate to the void so large, that any void creature could come to Runeterra at any time. Ritual started and sacrifices of living people began. One after anther dead person fell to the ground and void powers grow stronger around ritual site. Soon the most powerful of void creatures could been summoned, but Runeterra wasn't ready to surrender without a fight. Kassadin and other Preserves managed to interfere with the ritual and stop the gate from fully forming. As cult of the void fled ritual grounds with thoughts of failure a single void creature managed to enter Runeterra. However, because ritual wasn't complete, so this creature was summoned incompletely, so he had to hide and live in the flesh of the dead. As this voidborn was taken with cult, the cult knew nothing about that they summoned, but Malzahar seen a vision of distance future where this being took over Runeterra. Gol'Dahal, one of the six pillars and creators of they void, also called the voice of the void and the whisperer of the the void was in the hands of the cult. Even in this incomplete form he still is a god to them. Now the cult of the void have a new task: find a way to completely summon Gol'Dahal to Runeterra.

Still, as he is incomplete, so his name can be heard only by the voidborn, and only Malzahar had knew what kind of creature he really summoned.

My guess for the two words is God and Allah

Now this I can definetly have fun with. Love the idea of his kit. He could be an excellent seiger/split pusher, and his combos can be top notch. I guess a combo would be Q, W, E, Q, R. I do have a question though. Wouldn't ripping out a dagger from someone cause at least a minor slow?

JaymzIsUS9/23/2015, 6:10:55 AM2 votes

I like this, and his passive is not really as OP as it seems balancing out with the rest of his kit, the rest of his kit doesn't seem friggen insane or anything, his passive would totally be his highlight ability, making it justifiable for being so good i think. this champ seems real cool dude i like it a lot

Gol'Dahal: "You sand-brained idiot! You can't even beat a miserable armadillo! I refuse to give you one more iota of my power until you finish summoning my new body!"

Malzahar: "Your body is but one of many summoning experiments I am conducting in the Voidodrome, Gol'Dahal. See? I'm still refining my incantations on the fools. This next ritual will be infinitely superior to these two failures."

I find it interesting that he builds AP yet all his damage is physical damage and not magic damage. It just seems like an odd feature on a excellent concept for a champion. I love the ability bouncing off the terrain. I would be interested to know which champions ability counts as terrain though. (Jarvin's Ult, Anivia's Wall, Azir ult) I would love to see an interaction in lore with Malzahar being similar in role, design scheme, and purpose. Both are anti-assassin/anti-carry effectively eliminating a single target with some AoE affecting the entirety of the enemy team. Well Done.

I get that you want a mechanically difficult champion, but thematically, reviving minions, bouncing energy, and stacks just feels overloaded. AP bruiser is fine, but what's supposed to be unique about him?

Lady Hammerlock9/24/2015, 10:38:53 AM1 votes

i guess the offset to his pretty overloaded skills is that most of them deal physical dmg

also this is what i found

Gol'Dahal=God and halal

It's a nice concept, each skill having some fun mechanic to play with. There are a few places where you may have mistyped something- most notable is where the Ult passive says it deals true damage, and then says it deals magic damage.

also, other then his Q, it seems odd for his skills to deal physical damage. especially when they have AP scaling.

These are my thought on your champ, and I hope we can do this again next month. You are a great competitor :3

Regonas, you never fail to disappoint. I have some changes for several abilities, if you'd like to hear them. Make the passive have a 50% chance to resurrect, last 10 seconds. This would enable you to utilize your W more, while making it less of a hassle to deal with. The E, make it just give you flat Attack Speed, and steal their Armor(Because all of your abilities do Physical damage(even though they skill with AP)). This makes him have some form of assistance for the team as well as making it easier to duel. And for the ult, have the stun go for 1/1.5/2 seconds to enable him to have some more utility. Overall review: 9/10 I love the scaling (AP scaling on Physical Damage), and the way you can utilize your passive. These are just mandatory changes, not required
