It's just that if you kill him he still can deal a lot of damage for the 6 seconds (was it 6 sec?  ) and if you don't he will pentakill your team anyway because he deals huge DPS and magical DPS is always annoying (banshee doesn't protect from it as well and he can hit tanks if nothing else is in range without regretting it 3 seconds later when carry comes in range)BTW page 700 wooow, we sure do tlak a lot here  | ||

Tell me malz players, do you feel skilled when you r click on a champ and set up the easiest gank in the history of ganks? So have a teammate use an interrupt? It's not like a competent team would ever let Nunu get a full ult off, so why would you ignore the Malz in a practically identical situation? | ||

But I think maybe the shield lets him stay in the middle of everyone longer? And the CC keeps enemies in it? I don't know, lol, but I've heard janna + karth is good from other places too =/ | ||

The only thing I can imagine: Janna prevents Karth from getting picked off before the fight even starts. | ||

EDIT: I guess Anivia and Cass come close in terms of DPS Actually Cassiopea deals even more damage but her slow isn´t as good and is a LOT harder to place. | ||

Doesn't help that even a moderately fed/farmed karthus does like half a carry's hp bar in one ult and veil usually gets popped during the course of a team fight before he ults. So have a teammate use an interrupt? It's not like a competent team would ever let Nunu get a full ult off, so why would you ignore the Malz in a practically identical situation? Nah, malzahar is currently the most OP AP caster even in high elo, BUT in addition to that hes a low elo dominator.

The only thing I can imagine: Janna prevents Karth from getting picked off before the fight even starts. That strategy is so good. Have insane AP as karthus, die at the start of the battle, deal imba deeps without being able to be CCd out of doing it, then revive-teleport and clean up. So good | ||

By "punishing people for playing risky" I meant that the most exciting part of this game is getting into duels/skirmishes where you out micro your opponent and just barely kill them before they kill you. I don't mean risky in the sense of stupidly pushing your lane or things like that, but getting kills and ending up at low health. His ult means you can't risk getting a kill when it might result in you at low health since he can hit r and you are dead. | ||

There are many other, more relevant abilities in this game that take no skill to use (hell, there are arguably entire champion kits that take no skill to use--Malz and Karthus aren't that at least), a lot of which aren't ults. It's pretty clear that this sort of thing is not a priority for Riot, and I'm not sure what your complaint is attempting to accomplish at all.

Warwick's QWE kit also isn't as strongly augmented by his ult as Malzahar's (i.e. how Malz's R makes Q almost a guaranteed hit and locks them into W). | ||

Ryze is in the same spot as Zilean, strong, bannable, but not really game-changing like Karth/Jarvan/Eve are. They win a lot of games, but they're just strong picks imo. Karth is like retarded game-swinging. | ||
