Why Masteri with Attack Dmg and Revolver befor Rabadons

This build relies heavily on Malzahar's Bases (some of the highest in the game) to carry him until he grabs his Deathcap later in the game, as his ratios are all extremely high as well.
Since I don't have a variant of this build that allows for extremely fed/farmed or extremely underfed/farmed, this is your standard, easy build. It relies on durability for damage.
I hope this helped you out, if you have any more questions you can always email me at chrisaipc@gmail.com, pm, or post here again.
(P.S. if you had read the Runes section, you would know exactly why the AD Mastery is there. (Probably changing it to the minion damage mastery for that purpose.

Waiting for the counters part~
I've been owning most Malza counters (Kassadin, Talon, Galio, Diana, LB) most of the time, if you want I can help you with that to minimize your work. xD It's all on early harrass and push.

Quoted:

Hai ^^ I am here to review your guide, as I have spare time right now :3

Runes:
1) is the ONLY marks you should ever take on an AP mid. Ever.
2) Greater Seal of Replenishment is outscaled by fairly early on, so you should switch that. Greater Seal of Vitality is an optimal choice as well, but then again, most seals are personal preference.
3) You really should include alternative runes. Makes it easier for your readers to see the options mostly available to the champion. Also, include a runes section so your readers know why you are running the runes you do. is pretty good on , especially since he can inflict the "permaslow" with . It allows you to catch up to your opponents to unleash hell. But then again, if they are getting away, you are doing something wrong.
4) is a better option for glyphs imo. It mitigates their damage by quite a bit, which is what you want.

Summoner Spells:
1) + is a MUST combo on an AP mid.. is more situational..

Masteries:
1) Take your 3 points out of and put them into for easier last hitting.
2) In your spells you take . And in your masteries, you take . If you are running , take that point out and put it into . If you know you are running , keep the point there. But you are just wasting a valuable mastery point by taking it when you are running .
3) You should include a "Masteries" section so your readers can see your reasoning behind your masteries.
4) Remember that you can change your masteries out pregame so you should include that.

Guide Itself:
- You have separate sections for each of your skills. You should group them all into one chapter and separate them by line dividers. This makes it easier for your readers to read it :3
- "Pros / Cons" usually come after your "Introduction". So take your two staves pros and cons and group it with your "Positives / Not Quite Positives" to make it more organized.
- Your item choices... EXPLAIN THEM PLEASE! If you don't explain your reasoning, why should your reader take the items you recommend when you don't even have a reasoning to it?
- I cannot tell you how annoying it is to see a lore in a guide. Seriously, we are hear to learn about how to play the champion... not how he came to be.
- Your "Fus-Ro-Dah" section talks about himself. TBH, you explain too much about yourself in your "Introduction" section. We are here to learn about , not you (no offense intended). Move your Fus-Ro-Dah section into your Introduction for easier reading and summarization of the champion.
- No alternative items. You need to include situational items for those times you are having problems. IE; you are getting focused down before you can blow off your spells. will solve the situation (most of the time - not guaranteed). Another example would be getting if your enemies aren't stacking magic resist to replace your .

Cheat Sheet:
- You only have 6 slots available to you. Remember that.
- You grab far too late.
- When a reader is about to go in the game, they want to be able to quickly glance at the cheat sheet to know what they generally need to build to do well. With your cheat sheet being all crazy, they can't really do that.
- If you are planning on getting , you should get it straight right after you get . You generally want to build in this order, but as with all builds, you build according to the situation:

I hope I helped. I will come back and vote if I see some improvements :3

Thanks for taking the time to review this! As you can see, the guide is not nearly complete, I still have a lot to add. I'll PM you when I make big changes, but I tried your recommendations in game, and I've made changes based on what I thought was better about your build, masteries, and rune setup. Thanks!

Thank you all for viewing A Shout at the Soul, but I must ask something of you before you comment.
This guide is not finished, and a lot of the criticisms I've been getting are about sections I haven't completed yet.
DON'T WORRY, I'll post them ASAP. I would love it if you guys would start pointing out things that could be improved about the current portion of the guide, rather than point out that I've left out a section. Thanks!

<3, SomaQL

There are two real reasons I included the build.
#1: This is mainly for beginning s. This build gives them leeway with catalyst the protector's high level sustain, and allows them to spam more in teamfights.
#2: 's mana pool with the build is awful. HE cannot sustain himself in longer skirmishes, or in fights directly after baron, because he just doesn't have the mana. gives him chasing power, but the build is also viable in many situations.

Okay. But recently a more popular item for is the .. This has the same passive of the catalyst, but also a nice other unique passive
