Well this build has many good aspects, but there are much too many bad choices in my opinion so i have to downvote


First of all, i would like to thank you for your comment and your detailed critique. Nevertheless i don't agree in every point with your opinion.

Quoted:
1. I strongly dissagree with 2 of ur mastery points.
U don't use PORT so Spartial Accuraty is not needed.
Greed is not worth the point. In a game of 50min it gives 300g, i dunno it's not enough to my mind.
u could put these 2 points in Awareness or in the +Buffduration Mastery (dunno name right now)


This was a helpful hint, thank you very much. The point in Spartial Accuraty was just a literal error, it certainly makes no sense. I've never made much thoughts about greed, but as you say, 300 gold over the game is not worth this mastery point. I've already changed the setting!

Quoted:
2. Ghost
pls learn to play with flash, it's clearly the better one if used correctly.


As i've written in the guide, this is a personal decision. Of course, Flash is the better spell to escape a gank. Ghost may also help you to run away, but the reason i prefer it is the offensive potential it has: It is useful to chase enemy champions, to tower-dive for casting Malefic Visions on low health targets, to initiate a gank from the bush and much more..

Quoted:
3.Morrellos Evil Tome
It's one of my favorite items, but it's a bad choice for Ap Carry Malzahar on a 5v5 map.
Malzahar nuker -> Cooldown is of no use exept for ur Ultimate (sure kill ability)
It's cheep and good in early game, but if u want to carry (be badass lategame) this is not the best item to buy.


You already told all the reasons why i buy this item: It is cheap, it greatly improves your ultimate cooldown and it is good in early and midgame. Sure, this is a lategame carry build, but think about this: You need kills to get enough money for the expensive lategame items! I tried a lot of other builds and i never understood how people can buy all those expensive stuff the suggest in their guides, even if they are farming like hell.

If you follow my guide, you will have an extremly powerful, aggressive Malzahar at about 30 minutes when you complete your Rabadon's Deathcap. Because you play on the midlane, you will have an advantage in experience, gold and items and probably may be the best champion in game at this time. Your ultimate deals about 1000 damage now, giving you the opportunity to chase and kill almost every enemy on the battlefield and to support the top/bottom lane.

I would really recommend you to try this build a few times, it really depends on the timings! If you don't like Morello's Evil Tome in lategame and have some extra gold, you can still sell it and buy something else.

Quoted:
4.Rylais, is without a doubt a good item, but if u suggest it pls mention that Malzahar has no way of using it's full potential becourse every spell will only reduce for 15%.


Yes, this should of course be mentioned. Nevertheless, it's a good item, and 15% movement reduction while beeing enchanted with Malefic Visions are still very useful!

Quoted:
5.Malzahar should have at least 1 def item. while full dmg build are good in lower elos u will get focused down if u should decide to take VoidStaff over Banshees, ur 500 Health from Rylais won't save u, thats not even 1 Hit from an AD Carry.


I totally agree with you. As i've written in the item section, i recommend one or two defensive items if you get killed quite often, depending on the type of damage the enemy carries deal. If all is going fine and you don't get ganked, i can see no reason why i should buy a defensive item.

Anyway, thanks for your comment!

I think that you should really get more mana to malzahar because malzahar is a champion that need lot of mana for his spells...so i could advise you to get away the rylaiàs crystal scepter and use rod of ages...for health and mana at once....and i really don't think that malzahar need cooldown reduction..the cooldown of his spells are OK.
You should get one more Rabadon's deathcap from getting morello's evil tome.
That's all from me and -1
