How a strong Malzahar player plays

  1. 1

    Shield Wave Control

    He uses his passive shield to block your poke, and when the shield is almost ready, he steps forward to pressure you, preventing you from stacking easily.

  2. 2

    Level 6 Flash Ult

    After level 6, he looks for a flash R to lock you down, combining with his jungler or Ignite to kill you. Keep distance to avoid his flash engage.

  3. 3

    Voidling Stacking

    He uses W voidlings to stack and push the wave, forcing you to farm under tower while chipping your health, delaying your passive stacking.
