Why is malzahar underplayed

Now insult me. Now you're fucked. On February 12 TigerKarl wrote: Actually i'm fine with everyone falsely badmouthing my favourite champion. Before I start I'm not pro or anything. I've simply played him a lot. Around games so far. I randomly picked Malz up after watching a friend play him. I like the damage he does, especially single-target. Unless I get fed I rely on landing my Q and E a lot and always remember to slide my W under the team fights.

The pet is really handy and I've played AD malz for fun but haven't made a habit of it. If my team is having a hard time I'll buy a rylai's but that seldom happens. By that point I'm getting focused hard and hugging zhonya's like a long-lost friend. I've started learning syndra because I like the CC and burst damage she affords me although I'd never hate malz. He was my first ever ap and I enjoy him a lot. Been trying this guy out a lot recently.

Probably sitting around 10 games played so far, so not the most experience ever, but I feel like I have a feel for how he works. Does no one think he would be good in this current meta? He can wreck one person super hard when they dive on his carry, and there are plenty of divers in this meta right now: Xin, J4, Vi, Zac, Akali, Zed, Kha6, and more.

Granted Lux can hit 5 people with her ult potentially, but the damage Malz can put out is silly when you have a good amount of ap. Just need to watch out for ganks sadly. Also, it is incredible how hard this guy shoves. I've played Viktor before, so it isn't as strong as his push power, but damn Malzahar shoves. Finally, does anyone like tear on him? Been forcing tear on so many mages lately, and I actually think its pretty good on him.

Then I realized how fucking good his kit works as a support. It's really the cooldowns which weaken his kit, which is no problem for a support because cdr is so cheap on support items. How is his cc stronger than zyra? Zyra has a snare with a billion range that moves outward, a slow that is basically impossible to miss, and an aoe knockup that is great counterengage on an entire enemy team.

Underrated champions in current meta. Modified 14 Jan Feature. Jungle Kindred Kindred has a solid early game The meta for Season 10 and patch Taliyah Taliyah packs a lot of magic damage Enter caption Taliyah is the perfect jungle pick when your team needs that extra bit of magic damage to add to the comp. Mid Lane Wukong Wukong's ultimate is a game changer Wukong can easily dominate a lane, especially against squishy champions.

Anivia Anivia scales super well Enter caption Enter caption Anivia is in a very similar stage as to what Ryze was in Season 9. Heimerdinger A lane bully, Heimerdinger is very annoying to face in the bot lane.

Heimerdinger is very difficult to lane against Support Taric Taric brings a lot of CC The recent Guardian rune buffs with lowered cooldown is what paved the way for Taric resurfacing as a viable support pick. Nami Nami has a strong laning phase Nami received some love from Riot this patch. Provisional Ranked is Upon us. League of Legends patch Edited by Kuldeep. League of Legends. Pretty sure all the mages above do more damage than Malzahar.

Only exception being Morgana, who has more utility anyway. Karthus's wall is way better CC than Malzahars silence or his ultimate where he stuns himself aswell. Malzahar deals tons of damage, for example his full burst at AP is about 1k higher than Brand's. He will never get his full burst out.

The second he casts his ult, he will get jumped on by the bruisers. The point of Malzahar is that it's perfectly fine for him to actually ult the bruiser he is being jumped on. Share the link.

From: adept89 Another reason you didn't see Malz often is since he's a sustained damage champ, as opposed to Annie, Kass, and Anivia all being bursty. Burst seems to be more popular.

Karthus is underplayed for the same reason. I figured it'd be pretty tough, but he turned out to be a horrible Malz. Log In Sign Up. Keep me logged in on this device Forgot your username or password? Don't have an account? Sign up for free! What do you need help on? Cancel X.
