Malzahar Mid duo tips

  1. Malzahar & Rell - Rell's engage and movement-speed link can bring Malzahar into range and hold enemies in place long enough for his E/W damage and point-and-click R to land. The pair works best when they coordinate the target and Malzahar is close enough to follow the engage.
  2. Malzahar & Maokai - Maokai supplies the engage and lockdown Malzahar needs to secure Nether Grasp(R): Twisted Advance(W) or Nature's Grasp(R) can root a target, then a nearby Malzahar can follow with suppression. Malzahar players say he benefits from allies who initiate and close distance to help him reach a target.

How these matchup statistics are calculated

Counter and synergy statistics use Ranked Solo/Duo games, exclude matches shorter than 600 seconds, and group results by patch window, region, rank scope, and champion role.

Pairwise pages use a rolling three-patch window and compare observed win rate with a log-odds expected win rate based on each champion's role-adjusted baseline; listed pairs require at least 1,000 games.
