people will stand in the middle of the pool if they are forced to. making a melee choose between defending their turret/farming or staying out of W is pretty nice, his Q is easy to land if you know what you're doing, and when you land it, it does more than enough damage to make up for anytime you missed it. His E does a lot of damage on top of being difficult to notice since its a pretty long T for the D.

His ult can basically kill a carry at the start of any team fight at any point in the game if malz has a nice amount of ap and lands his other spells. If you get hit by a Q and E while in his W and being Red, you're dead. Period. If they have a QSS, they just wasted an entire item slot SOLELY for malz's ult, which isn't even where most of this damage comes from, and if you're buying it early game, you're the one that QSS is countering.

when you put W down in the middle of a team fight, you're forcing melees to stand in it or stop dealing damage/stop tanking. if you're team is smart they're stun people inside of it. It also deals tons of damage to drag/baron.

no one outlanes me in mid.

no one. malz pushes harder than you. and once his Q gets leveled and he has some ap you're not pushing anything he's near. his Q will melt entire minion waves. his E will mow down minion waves while giving him mana back. you just can't stop him.

i personally have no problem with people thinking malz is weak, it just means he won't be getting nerfed anytime soon even though he melts the crap out of everyone.
