Malzahar the Prophet of the Void
A zealous seer dedicated to the unification of all life, Malzahar truly believes the newly emergent Void to be the path to Runeterra's salvation. In the desert wastes of Shurima, he followed the voices that whispered in his mind, all the way to ancient Icathia. Amidst the ruins of that land, he gazed into the dark heart of the Void itself, and was gifted new power and purpose. Malzahar now sees himself as a shepherd, empowered to bring others into the fold… or to release the voidling creatures that dwell beneath.

MetaBot Tips

- Malzahar has a much early late game win rate than their late game win rate. Take advantage of this by playing aggressive early on and trying to snowball through kills.
- Malzahar has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
- Malzahar has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
- Malzahar has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.

Playing Against Malzahar
- When Malzahar hits a spell on enemies affected by Malefic Visions, the Visions are refreshed.
