curse you Southlight!

anyway, holy shit Akali falls off late game. I carried my team through like 30 minutes last night, and then every teamfight became a shitstorm of Mundo Cleavers/Headbutts, Shen Taunts, and random Garen crap all coming my way as I tried to blow my load on Yi or Ashe. uhg, I was finally getting my team to a useful point too, but they had already taken 2 inhib towers by they time we could beat them in teamfights and fucking Yi ducking out with CANNOT BE SLOWED and BDing our inhibs was just too strong for us to ever actually push out.

I've just started using Malzahar cuz I think that he has some decent potential. Any advice or tips on using him and what match ups to avoid/capitalize on?

Mal has a problem in that he's very reliant on mass CC on his team; he can only stop one target, but it stops himself as well, so he needs to have the rest of his team stop everyone else or at least keep focus off of him. Also he doesn't do enough damage so he's pretty ignorable otherwise. He has no escape mechanism, no CC that doesn't also CC himself, and takes a while to get going (is farm-hero, except AP heroes that need to mass farm and only take one person out usually suck, see Veigar).

I think Ignite/Ghost is necessary on him (to maximize damage output), and most people I've seen rush Rylai so at least his stuff get a snare effect.

hes kinda like veigar except veigar has a big stun instead of silence and he can get his big nuke off and then gtfo instead of having to stick around asking to be exploded. he just doesnt ahve enough utility and he doesnt really burst which kills his survivability.

yea! you hear that Sivir!? You're abilitiy to kill an entire creep way in 2 seconds ain't got nothin' on my single target 80 damage/second ability that lasts for 4 seconds and bounces around when they die!


Are you mocking me?
It usually takes 4-5 seconds for Malz to clear a wave mid game. At what time of the game do you estimate Sivir to clear it in 2 seconds?
I'm not questioning your knowledge of the game, as you know much mroe than me for certain.

Edit: I'm not defending that Malzahar is viable at high level play or anything. Just his abillity to have the mid lane early is really strong from what I've gathered.

K well...If Malz isn't really very good, who would you guys suggest? I'm usually a Shaco player, but since he is usually banned at higher level play, I want to get good at a different champ to be viable. The thing I love about Shaco is his ability to get in, gank, and get out relatively unharmed. I want a champ who is great at ganking and has the survivability to be useful in team fights. Any suggestions?

Side note: I would like to try someone who isn't an assassin. If I want to play assassin, I can be Shaco, I freaking love playing him. But if there are other viable candidates...

Most junglers are good at ganking and very survivable. Mumu, Udyr, Rammus, WW, etc.

haha, yea, I'm mocking you, sry, it's all in good fun. Once Sivir gets a BF Sword, she will maul a creep wave in nothing flat with Boomerang Blade as they approach in a line and then like, 1-2 auto attacks, voila no more creep wave. I know Mal is a decent farmer, but the only people who can out-speed Sivir on creep waves are people with non-DoT AoE spells that one shot whole creep waves like a super fed TF/Janna vs. an approaching creep wave or old Pantheon vs. a large built up creep wave, and all of them are far more conditional with when and how they can decimate a creep wave while sivir just doesn't give a fuck and will kill the shit out of any sized and shaped creep wave in > 5 seconds at any point past level 7 or so.

I'd recommend Kassadin. To me, what makes Shaco really fun to me was his deceive. Kassadin's void walk is probably the second best escape mechanism in the game. This makes him an incredibly strong ganker that allows you to be creative in your play. Oh and people will hate you for your silence.

i am on the lucky end of there stick there (with MM atm atleast)
my skill level is probally around the 1300's. Maybe higher on a good day. But recently (also while learning udyr - so that might be the reason). I dropped from 1350 to 1198 in 4 leaver games, then a few games where lategame team falls apart. Luckily I am lucky and getting paired as the lowest elo 2-3 times a row now.
Feels weird being treated good by the queue

I was looking at him before, and I just read up a bit on him. He looks like exactly what I want!

southlight's probably top 5 Kassadins on the server right now, so you also have easy access to a good source of information on Kass.
