Malzahar Build Guide by Anastasios

Keep up the good work :)

Really nice guide :D
I'd say one the guides that will go up in the past few days.

I will start off with few points;

-I think you should take Sorcerer's Shoes a bit earlier or mention that you can take them a bit earlier in items section It's hard to pull off those items, unless you get kill or two. Boots are required to be little bit more unpredictable with the abilities.

-Guide could maybe have some use for line dividers, possible banners to cheer up.

-I think that Thornmail and Frozen Heart really no go for Malzahar, even tough you mentioned they are unusual.

-Core and situational items could be possibly seperated from each other, so readers won't have to start looking back, which was the core item again :D

Everything is explained really well and in-depth. Really liked the way how you have included much stuff from different points of views and explained situational picks.

Rating: EDIT: 9. Rating edited due mistake of my own and quick fixes. Therefore you get also +rep and extra credit :) Well done.

I always forget :(

I would say your guide is Great! It was close to an EPIC! guide but, I felt it was just a tad short in some parts(i mention later). I really did like your masteries and rune sections those were very well done, the item section was nice too. though i'm not so sure how good the wota is on malz(i don't generally play him nor do I see him played a lot so explain it a little more why you get it over more damage)

• explain why you get catalist so early but don't build it into a banshee vail until later.
• good layout
• I thought the summoner explanation was ok
• I liked the mastery explanation, im not a fan of havoc but, i don't play malz so IDK how helpful it is compared to mental force.
• mention voidling scales off AD a lot of people don't know this! Well I saw it but it was in the explantion of the spell not you mentioning it!
• Consider Greed for utility, i find it really helps.
• Very good rune section, I liked how you had a lot of flexibility.
• I would add in the tip where you proc summoning void before going into the lane in the spell section aswell. Also the getting multipul voidlings out trick.
• When you mention ali in your ult section i think you spelt something wrong.
• Very good explanation of all the moves.
• Nice combo section
• No mention of QSS? why XD
• early, mid, late game sections were good, id consider giving team fights it's own section same with warding.
• I like how you got a lot of basic pointers for the laning match ups, maybe go a little more imdepth with each to improve the guide.
• Overall nice guide.

Great guide I really liked how it was very easy to read! If you want to improve it, I would go more in depth with the laning match ups, give team fighting and warding there own section and maybe even make a little map with wards on it. Mentioning the call of the void procing thing a few more times would also help, I would also mention that they scale of AD a few more times aswell.

I was impressed by your singed guide, and this guide impresses me just as much. Malzahar is my secound favorite AP mid,( Katarina is number one(not by much though), in case you were wondering ) and this is very similar to how I build him. thanks for some of the minute details about his passive, some I haven't noticed before. Awesome guide, here, have a green banner thingy.

+ I like your lane match up list!
+ Your guide looks good!

- I would prefer AP/lvl or MR/lvl Glyphs
- I don't think Rylai's Crystal Scepter is a good item for Malzahar, if you want hp you should better buy Rod of Ages imo
- I like to take Demolitionist on my AP carries. It works really well with Malzahar because of his pushing power, as well

Well not so much tips, my ratings:

Appearance: 8/10
Cheat Sheet: 7/10
Contents: 9/10

An overall 8, good job ;)

2 low Ap

Getting past the fact that you have some sort of fetish with Malzahar guides, the AP displayed on the cheat sheet is not the actual one, as it doesn't take into account the 35% increase from Rabadon's Deathcap and Archmage . It is actually over 500.

Cheat Sheet: 7.5/10
In-Depth: 5.5/7.5
Knowledge of Champion: 6/7.5
Chapter Sequence: 2/2
BBCoding: 2/2
Spelling/Grammar: 0.5/1

Total Score: 23.5/30

Cheat Sheet: You should really take Butcher and Demolitionist > Havoc . Also, you have NO defense early game. Long-Ranged poke will be your downfall. You have no defense in your masteries either. Imo, defense masteries (9) beat utility masteries (9).

In-Depth: Talk about using Malefic Visions to push and when not to push. You should explain why you take no defensive runes and whatnot. You should also talk about feinting your ultimate and really using it when they waste their stuff. Rod of Ages beats Rylai's Crystal Scepter only because you cannot benefit from single target nuke slows. More lane matchups?

Knowledge of Champion: You should say that Ignite procs your passive and it can summon a voidling. This can make you have two voidlings smacking at the enemy champion while he is suppressed. You should also mention Brute Force gives slightly extra damage to your voidlings.

Chapter Sequence: Imo, it is good.

BBCoding: Great job!

Spelling/Grammar: You have capilization mistakes all over and few spelling mistakes.

Edit: Ignite no longer procs Malz's passive :(
Feign* not feinting... Fail me.
Capitalization* not capilazation....
