Try to play jungler, the role that requires the most cooperation from your teammates, and you'll quickly understand why. When you ping a gank, come, sit in a bush and use the sweeper assuring you're not seen, and in 10 seconds your laner does nothing but stay where he is and wait to kill 2 caster minions, to then rush the enemy under tower (who previously was extremely overextended), die, and blame you for his own stupid death... I swear my laners have a 10 seconds reaction time while the enemies always react in less than a second. That will instantly make you regret relying in any way on your "teammates".

Because the worse a reputation a character has, the more people who don't understand the character will just automatically assume the character is dogshit and actively contributing to the failure of their games. This translates into more flaming at best, and games where the team assumes you've thrown the match for them at character select at worst. Can't forget, outside of just having little experience, most people assume there's little of something for a good reason.

I always found his pool to be super awkward, and now that the game is even more mobile than it was 5 years ago it would be almost useless without some way to lock enemies down in it.

@@Delimon007 And back in those days rylai would have been serviceable at that. Now, almost every champ released in the last 2 years has a dash of some sort - which of course are not affected by slows at all. The main point of his pool was to stick under someone just as you ulted them, otherwise it really didn't feel like it actually had much impact or did any real damage. It wasn't something like Morgana's pool where standing in it too long could accidentally kill you, it did a bit of poke damage, but not enough to really care about. As an ability, it was quite underwhelming. At max ranks it could do quite a bit of damage to a tank who was stuck sitting in it for the duration, but because it was a tank they had the MR to shrug the worst of it off. It felt like something you just threw down for a bit of extra damage rather than something you planned around the uptime of. It never had much impact on the game, and really does fit much better as part of the ult.

I agree with most of this, but there are some caveats: - Malzahar is not considered stunned or suppressed during his ult, so you can still use summoner spells and active items to alleviate the fact that you can't move, such as Barrier. - While Quicksilver Sash does indeed end the suppression, it does not end the damage or pool. If you do not have a stun and Malz doesn't stop channelling, you will still take full damage. - The voidlings have a priority system: Nether Grasp -> Malefic Visions -> Champions Attacking Malzahar -> Any hostile target

Ironically, two of the main points in the video, area control and burst, was something he used to be incredibly *great* at, back when Null Zone was still his W. It let you cast a fuck-off huge circle that dealt % damage and, when coupled with Rylai's, delivered a minor slow, so the standard procedure with ol' Malzy was to chip with Q, W, and E until they got low then all-in with the big W-R combo and 100% them in a second. This made him an absolute nightmare to defend turrets against because he could shove your lane in your face and then keep you away from the turret, whittling it bit by bit. The drawbacks were that he was vulnerable and slow and his mana costs were harsh, but he was rewarding to play. Even having QSS back then wasn't such a hard counter because Null Zone could still let him contribute. Those were the days...

Now imagine Kassadin, which if it's not the most nerfed champion in the history of the game, he is one of the most nerfed champs. His passive was heavily nerfed and it worked in conjuction with his w, his q deals like 2/3 of the base damage, the silence was removed and the ratio to ap was lowered by 10%, from 0.8, to 0.7, his e deals basically half the damage it dealt before and the ap ratio went from 0.9 to 0.8 but the worst of all is his ult which can only stack 4 times instead of 8 and as a result it deals much less damage while consuming EXTREMELY ammounts of mana at 4 stacks. His w is a new skill which he didn't had and deals a good ammout of damage although since it's a melee skill, you most likely won't be able to land in most of champs because his survivability was the most nerfed thing they ever did. Kassadin back in the golden days was a tanky champ because he was melee and was anti-mage. Kassadin was a fighter back in the days, nowday he is a squishy assassin that can be 1 shot easily or even completely unplayable depending on the enemy composition. Not to mention that kassadin is basically one of the most useless champs at early game. If you don't go with tanky runes you literally won't be able to do anything in lane, unless the enemy is a fool or a noob.

Malzahar was one of the first champions I bought back in season 3. I rushed Chalice of Harmony and Will of the Ancients. It allowed for infinite mana sustain and also 15% spellvamp. As a total noob, I was so proud of this theory crafting. I basicly spammed E on the wave, allowing me to get last hits without auto attacking along with healing me up in lane. Basicly had infinite health and mana sustain in lane along with easy csing. I think that was the build I used to get into silver along with AP WW mid (also rushed chalice for infinite mana sustain with Q). For those who dont know Chalice used to give good mana regen along with a passive that increased your mana regen by 1% for every 1% missing mana (like Veigar's old passive). The item also gave some magic resist and only costed 800ish gold. So you could basicly never run totally out of mana since you would regen as crazy when low on mana. It also built into Athenes which was one of the most popular mage items at the time, as it gave some AP, some MR, cdr and mana regen. I mostly just built chalice first for sustain, then proceded to build other items. Edit: I realise this doesn't seem that insane by todays standards when everyone can go manaflow band and ravenous hunter to achieve similar results. But back then lane sustain was everything. Very few champions had healing and spells costed a lot more mana. People bought mana potions back then even! Damage was lower overall which meant laning mostly came down to trading resources.

I completely agree with everything you said. Malz was my first main in the game and you are right about all of his weaknesses. That's why I had to stop playing him to rank up any further. They need to do a minor rework on him for sure. His Q should at least slow if not root the target as well and his ult should allow him to move around while it's being channeled. These two changes alone would make him much more viable.

Yeah, the main issues imo are that the champ has no self peel abilities, and that his W, which you need to dps, gets destroyed even when people are not trying to do so on purpose, it's just ridiculous. Let's not mention that now everyone has insane tenacity so the R does like 1 second cc only and the fact that the games almost always end before Malz scales.

2 simple changes that I think would greatly improve his QoL is: 1: Revamping his E from fully dps to half of the dmg dealt at the initial cast of the ability, and the other half will be dealt as dps(like Nasus's E but single-target). 2: After disconnecting with his victim of Nether Grasp, roots that target for another 1 second but lowers the duration of Nether Grasp by 1 second as well. This way it would feel so much more rewarding to cast his E on his target first then R or precisely predicting and casting his Q on a target already has his E on it. Sometimes using his E first then R will be too risky against targets like assassins with deathdance who can survive his DoT then burst him down back, since his E's total dmg takes 4s to finish while his R only lasts 2.5s.

Hope this makes sense. One of my favorite things about playing as malz is that i can stop full enemy team pushes in their tracks - sucking away all their momentum and letting my team counter attack. Basically acting as an anti siege champ. My passive shield negates at least one engage opportunity. Holding off them gaining the initiative. A decently powerful E cast on a minion pretty much garuntees wiping out their wave meaning they have nothing to soak up fire from the turrets. And if all their attention is towards taking the turret and fending off my teammates they tend not to notice my E spreading around and dont take care to avoid it and end up with me draining around 1/4th their hp for free. If any of them try to move up the dive us i can R them into submission and the pool left behind can deter them from fully moving the places they want to. My Qs unique firing angle lets me easily poke a their backline and silence them so they cant pull their tricks to support their frontlane or at least get some free damage on the squishes. And my W lets me create a new albiet temporary and weak frontline they have to wade through before they can make their plays. None of this happens immediately, but he can definitively turn a push into a drawn out grind that an enemy team might not be able to sustain themselves through.

He does none of those things and one of the biggest reasons is that his passive is dog shit for doing his job and the voidlings die if you sneeze on them. Instead of riot nerfing the support build by lowering the base damage and upping the scaling, they just neutered them instead. Dumbest shit ever and Riot proves time and time again that they either don't know how to balance, don't care, or are doing this garbage intentionally. Kinda funny to think how they used to say they wouldn't touch the meta when that's all they've been doing since season 1.

Great video, I still miss the "old" malzahar before he's mini rework in season 6. In summary, he use to be like a burst mage. A rotation of his basic abilities destroy 2/3 health of an adc and his r was 40% of his damage. I feel at that time he had the choice to keep his ultimate to discourage assassins or burst down an enemy. After patch 6.9, riot gutted his damage to give him more defense, so he can have this very specific identity of anticarry.

A control mage is more about an ongoing effect that will have immediate consequences for disrespecting it, such as heimerdinger turrets or anivia ult. Sure, Malzahar has his ult puddle, but it's really not that much of an area denial as other abilities. A battle mage is any mage who has shorter range and focuses on dps over burst, which fits Malzahar perfectly.

Malz is one of my favorites, so cool vid! I wonder if this change would benefit him: His W is changed to make it so the voidlings always spawn directly in front of Malz, no matter what. The actual ability becomes a similar ability to Yorick's mist. If it lands, the voidlings (possibly also Malz himself?) a burst of movespeed. If it misses, the voidlings just attack the nearest valid target as normal.

I think it's kinda tragic, Malzahar is one of the few champs whose mini-rework was a direct nerf. Getting rid of his minions health in exchange for a 1 hit health bar killed any alternate builds (AD Malz). Making his W part of his ult took away his ability to screen people away or do AOE damage. I'll never understand why they reworked his kit when he was just fine if a little strong (AD Malz), but thanks to power creep a champion who was kinda strong 2-3 seasons ago is now shut out of most games by 200 year champs.

Malzahar is one of my most played champions in the entire game, so here's my take: - His voidlings are more fragile than a modern day teen - His ult being QSS'd is as depressing as getting ulted by him - His E does a surpsingly little amount of damage and pushing waves is almost entirely due to the fact his voidlings deal bonus damage to enemies with E on them - His passive gets procked by every ability, whereas the spellshield from banshees only procks on CC - His voidlings reset the jungle camp "attention bar", making it impossible to jungle now (He was really good, especially at getting dragons) - His W is one of the strongest abilities in the game at taking turrets - His ult does % max HP damage on the enemy, making him a Trundle level tank killer - Fighting Olaf hurts the soul If I had the option to, I would make his voidlings tankier, revert w back to passive and puddle back to W, and then change the R completely while keeping his 1v1 potential.

I'm assuming you're missing quite a few champs, it took me roughly 5-6 years of playing to unlock every champ, this was also back when blue essence and hextech loot didn't exist and you had to buy all champs, at full price using IP (Influence Points, which you earned like 30 every match), if you don't mind a boomer asking, how fast can you get champs using the Blue essence system? The IP system was horrible as you can probably imagine. Also, just some advice, don't dismiss champs just because they don't interest you and be willing to revisit champs that you used to dislike. Over the past year or two, I've gone back through the entire roster and fell in love with so many old champions that I used to just ignore or hate playing. Skarner, Nocturne, Twisted Fate (I ended up maining him for like 2-3 years), Volibear, Trundle etc... are just some examples for me personally. I NEVER touched these champs and randomly I did and now they're in my main champ pool.

This is an old video, but I LOVE malzahar. He fits perfectly into the hypercarry meta league is focusing on, because if the 15/0 katarina is the only threat on the enemy team, if you play it right, it's gg because she can't do anything. Malz' e is also understated; with double burn and aery, it can 100-0 squishy targets late game. I've killed people I haven't even seen because it's spread from one body to another. So even if you can't walk up and R (because, as you stated, it suppresses you as well) you can keep throwing out e's and q's and slowly burn the entire enemy team down, like brand. Save your R for divers or cleaning up the 1000 stack nasus after everyone else is dead.

He needs a buff tbh.

There's one more point i kinda think you should mention but the fact that there are champs that do his job (anti carry suppression etc) a lot easier. for example i actually had a friend who mained mid and he picked up malz cuz he said it was "freelo". he was doing fine until he saw the real weaknesses of the champ so he just switched to annie cuz she basically does everything malz is supposed to do. she shuts down carries with her passive plus the general point and click/instant casting of her abilities make her very easy to maneuver along with having a pretty substantial shield she can use on both herself and allies which gives even more utility. she might not have a qss tax but she does force the enemy adc to buy at the least a hexdrinker or else they want to just get flashed r wq combo that annie is iconic for. plus unlike malz who is a very reactionary champion annie can actually engage along with having her utility be aoe unlike malz's single target "outplay" button. but ye a lot of times a champ isn't played not just cuz of fundamental design but also because at times they feel like the worse version of another champ.

Wonderful video as always. Just a small info to keep in mind, traps in yugioh do a LOT to advance the game state. While regular traps are pretty outdated due to their clunky mechanic of being slow, hand traps are very popular and can definitely shut down a deck and win games. Shutting down the opponents deck is one of if not the most important mechanic in yugioh, just as it is in league, think of it as cc- the more you have it your teamcomp is probably more efficient. Even the mirror force you showed was very popular for a very long time even in the previous decade (don't know if it got powercrept in the most recent meta though). Just a small nitpick where I think you didn't make a fair point.Yes, I know I'm a moronic nerd ape xd. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

something that not a lot of people consider about malz too is that on his R, its the pool underneath the suppressed person that does the damage, not the eyebeam, this is important because if you read the ability, it says it does something crazy like 75% max health damage, but that is if they stand in the pool for the full duration, which is longer than the suppress, and if the suppressed person is hooked while you are surprising them, they will still be suppressed but you will be doing 0 damage

Before Malz was reworked, when the pool aspect of his ult was still on his W and his voidlings were his passive, there were two ways of playing him: max E first for better waveclear and easy apply point-and-click, or max Q first for better poke damage since it was longer range and the silence shut down any counter for a short time. Maxing Q was my preferred method most of the time, so I was very excited when I heard that his rework was reducing the cooldown on it to like 6 seconds, and then rather puzzled when most people ignored it. I don't play normals any more, but in ARAM he works perfectly fine, possibly even better, maxing his q and turning him more into a poke mage with some uncomfortable DOT abilities if you get close enough. I know his E has better scaling now, as well as better mana conservation, so maybe it works better in lane, but his Q is absolutely more reliable in my opinion.

If they'd just remove the voidlings and replace them, he'd be fine because they've gutted them way too hard. Let's be real, Malz's loss of playrate in the middle of S7 was 7.11's changes which shifted his playstyle from a powerful ramping battlemage that would swarm enemies with little hard-to-kill voidlings to a toss-and-forget mage. His E and Q were buffed from 70% to 80% ratios while his W was gutted to the point of no return since they went back to normal 200 health, were executed by any champion AA or turret shot, regardless of how much damage the hit would do, and of course stray AoE in team fights kill the voidlings far too easily. So his W has been near worthless since then. Then he gained some traction once people noticed his Q and E plus R to guarantee the Q hit would kill them even if they could QSS the R since the Q and E did 160% ratio. Add in Liandry's and they were fucked. But his Q got nerfed to 65% in 8.2 after the 7.24 nerf to his R to 80% from 110%. His kill potential dropped a lot outside of ganks, QSS was easy to pick up, he wasn't very thematic anymore. What was there left to like? He wasn't overtuned and murdering his enemy laner instantly anymore, he didn't have the ramp potential he used to with voidlings, and he really doesn't have the range to bully anyone. He essentially became a worse version of Annie.

As someone who mains Malza (in low levels because I don't play ranked really) I agree with most of what you said. Malz is slow as butts and, while he has nice dmg, he is too dependent on his ultimate. But I wouldn't say he is weak without it. A late game Malz's with full effect build (dot and other effects so Liandry, Demonic Embrace, Rylai, Morello) malefic vision (e) alone can sometimes deal up to half health to squishy targets without your voidlings or q or r. Also Rylai is nice for a small version of cc. Also I'd say you don't have to smash buttons with him, at least I found that Malz DOES have a good combo he can utilize. Since his damage depends on his e and w more than his q in my opinion, I always keep an eye on how many voidlings I can spawn. To maximize the damage the best course of action is e->q->w->r->q->ew. This is because you put put your dot, you refresh it instantly with q (while also silencing and proccing electro), spawning voidlings as they reached their maximum of 3 stacks with q, ulting so they are placed in one place and again refreshing your e, q BEFORE the ult finishes so it catches them slightly by surprise and silences them again AND refreshes your e again, and w or e after depending if they are close or far because your w counter is already at 3 again. Its important not to forget that your ult can also refresh your e duration. Although this looks like a lengthy combo it really isnt, e is instant, you put out your q, and by the time your q lands you can press w and r. It is faster than one would anticipate. I also think that without ult you are good to go if someone attacks you, if you can keep a bit of a distance you can deal solid damage with your e,w and q but you'll be caught in the long run sadly yes. For lane pressure his e is fantastic with his w and you can use him as a poke mage if you get your e on your target and just use your q (which has a lot bigger range than one would think) to refresh the duration. Also many players underestimate the "bounce" or spread radius of his e and will stand into it when it kills the minions. I agree with everything you said by the way, don't take this as nitpicking please, only as my opinion. He is a great champ with many flaws and one that shows the signs of the old game, can't solo carry, etc. but I think he is a very fun champ to play with. Also I'm kind of surprised you didn't talk about his passive seeing as, from what I ofthen gather, it is one of the most infuriating parts of playing against malz and a tool that lets him get away with way more than he should. Great video, I'm looking forward to the next ones :)

As a Malzahar main, I like him the way he is, spawning your voidlings before a fight is a safety net as the enemy will have to kill them before attacking you or just wait for them to die, and really, Malzahar is 100% playing around timings abilities and positioning, playing him with a Kindred jgl for example you would look to get the enemy wave to bounce, then she ganks has her slow and all that so you can follow, if you land your Q the enemy basically had no flash, if you have to you can R but if you manage to save it you autoshove the wave and roam with your R then reset, latter on in teamfights you act as a safety net and a spellshield for Kindred, cause silencing the enemy tank before he can CC Kindred basically gives her a 2 seconds spellshield during which all targets are voulnerable cause of the lack of a way to pin her down, if anybody ever manages to get a dive off you just R them. Malzahar is pretty easy to get fed with after your 1st buy, has great roams and ganks and there's the midngames, people either not coming near you at all or people rushing thei abilities so you don't deny them the cooldowns. I think this champion is focused less on traditional mechanics if you exclude his Q being a weird skill shot to use and to use optimally (unpopular opinion, an average league player will be able to bring Akali to M7 and get a penta with her faster than they would be able to optimise their use of Q and R in a fight, on top of that, E and W is harder to land than most skill shots just cause of the lack of safety that comes with them) and more so focused on timings mindgames and positioning, I think changing him to make his W easier to connect and changing his E to spread on multiple targets at once would make the champion less skill demanding and would strip its players of skill expression, just like making akali even more noob friendly (bitch can use E forward 1st charge of R W and 1 shot the backline with the 2nd charge of R 1 AA/Q and the items and runes damage then E away) and make him obsolete in the process.

I play Malzahar because it’s fun getting liandry’s anguish, demonic embrace, rylai’s crystal scepter, and morellonomicon and then watch as the enemy gets super crippled with a single E that they accidentally catched. I remember that happening to a blitzcrank that was 1-2 levels below me and he lost half his health from 1 E

The changes you mentioned for malz are pretty interesting and have lots of potential. However thats really become my problem with champs in league now. They're eathier heavy cc or they're heavy mobility with very little in-between. Malz was the first champ i learned how to play so this really hits me home.

Here's is simple fix make his voiding pop or explode when they attack when they die like seeking little attack bombs. That would be epic

Malz is one of those champs where he’s rarely played... for a reason, that damn ult
