For anyone curious, Malzahar is so strong right now mostly due to a tank meta where tanks buy lot's of armor and health, but neglect magic resistence to a large extent. This make's him, as both a natural tank buster with his w and someone who has high synergy with liandries> Rylais, deal tons of damage to the tanks that most midlaners struggle to kill because of the huge amount of hp they tend to have.

It's more so a problem with just how much damage tanks are doing with Iceborn Gauntlet and Titanic Hydra and what not, because they can more or less just outburst a lot of mid laners that they should be dying against with their low mr builds, but Malzahar punishes this extremely well, and is pretty safe in lane to boot with how few counters he has.

Here's to hoping the tank splitpush meta ends soon, cause some games feel like you're playing an extremely poorly balanced tower defense game with all the zz'rots and nigh unkillable tanks running around.
