I'm surprised no one has talked about this yet. Malzahar has a Texture update on the PBE and in all honesty he looks a bit off

Here's his current model, as you can see, his hood has been changed to look like he has the three eye thing from his voidlings going on, I think that's pretty cool but it looks a lot different than his splash art, where you can clearly see his face (or eye) and the three eyes actually being a hole in his hood covering a mysterious glowy thing.

Also, his skin is more corpsy now, that's cool though, Malzahar seems to have pretty big guns that kind of slip through too much with this skin tone, I think a bit less purplish would look better and talking about purple...

His passive covers him in purple, which looks nice but it happens in all his skins, so in the end, all the skins looks purple and a bit too close to his classic one.

TL;DR: His hood currently looks like he has diamonds attached to it instead of it being three holes. His skin goes by unnoticed. His passive homogenizes all his skins.

Splash art for reference: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B86WOfVvnp4/VxZ6GKAKkfI/AAAAAAAA58U/qfVCtcy0GE4Ow0Ft1huFYGwSM0rnbW9zwCLcB/s1600/Malzahar_Splash_0.jpg

Can anybody confirm that his passive isn't purple on snow day malz? Pictures?

I think making an actual hole in his hood with an eye beneath it would require too much work(at least in regards to what they wanna do with the mage rework).

After all this is just a small texture change that only applies to his base skin,they don't want to spent much resources on updating his model.

I think it makes him look closer to the splash but there are things off with it. Plus I miss the designs he had on his clothing, without those he looks kind of plain.
