Malzahar - General Playstyle:
Laning Phase: Focus on farming with your E and using your voidlings (W) to push the wave. Avoid trading without your passive shield up. Use your R for guaranteed ganks or to suppress key targets.
Mid Game: Push waves and look for opportunities to roam and help other lanes. Use your R to catch out isolated targets.
Late Game: Stay with your team and use your R on key targets in teamfights. Your E and W can be used to quickly push waves.
Malzahar - Advice on Farming:
Use your E on minions and let it spread to clear waves. Your voidlings from W can help in quickly taking down minions. Remember to last hit to ensure you get the gold.
Teamfighting as Malzahar:
Stay in the backline and use your abilities to zone and damage enemies. Use your R on high priority targets or to peel for your ADC.
Dragon and Baron fights as Malzahar:
For Dragon and Baron, use your voidlings to tank and help in taking it down faster. Your E can be used to deal consistent damage to the objective.
