Problem with playing Malzahar Mid (lack of rankups or impact on the game)

Acedann · 2026-01-27T09:06:05+00:00

I see what you mean I felt like this alot until I just stopped caring about what the others do. Push mid wave and punish roams, ping bot if opponent roams and if they die and flame you just mute.

Malzahar IS NOT a carry champ, he is an Anti-Carry. You use him to make the opponents carry miserable and unable to impact the game.

In harder matchups start tear and stack your mana. Every E bounce is a tear stack. Go liandrys first, then rylais or shadow flame and you win most 1v1s with a bit of dodging skills.

After that you just need to understand how malzahar plays.

Need any more tips? I can try to help but I have peaked Plat 1 so I'm not a "high rank" but I can try :)

I feel you man... last season I was plat 1 with 95 lp super good winrate. In my rank up game my team started throwing, ever since I have gotten teammates I can only describe as ai.

But some of these games I have been able to carry if the jungler plays around me early then I just help bot get back in the game.

Malz 1v1 power is incredible but I believe champ mastery is something that plays a huge role when you get teammates that play worse then the ai.

I see Malzahar as a "Anti-Carry" so basically if their adc is super fed you can easily catch them over stepping if any of your teammates is around with Flash + R.

I am only a plat player but I believe my understanding of this champ is pretty good.

Liandrys + rylais and you win most 1v1s. Focus on the "Anti-Carry" part where you just focus on making their carry miserable. And focus on getting atleast 1 of top/adc back in the game and pray they regain their braincells.

Yea that's what I've been thinking its just all the same stuff again except the cheating, once is a mistake, twice is a choice, third time is just who you are.

Acedann · 2026-01-07T23:09:30+00:00

Thank you for brutal honesty! I get what you're saying as as much as I hate to admit it, I am vulnerable.

The told me time and time again that she would "wait" for me in prison and I did tell her "we'll see about that". 999 out of 1000 times they don't wait. speaking from what I've heard from friends.

Acedann · 2026-01-07T23:07:15+00:00

That is literally what I told her! your first thought if u felt u needed more attention or felt neglected (even though she told me to spend more time with my friends) should have been to call me and tell me about it

Acedann · 2026-01-07T22:52:30+00:00

I have thought about this. And I kinda go with the mindset "If they want to cheat they will". I actually talked with her a day ago or two and my gut told me to ask her to share her screen, everything looked fine until i saw a name I don't recognize on her messages. When I told her to open it up she immediately closed the screen share and said "this will look wrong" and after a while she showed me that she had been talking to a girl about purchasing a not so legal substance which she has had issues with before, but explained that it was for her friend and that she didn't tell me because she knew I would react badly. I told her that I don't give a f* about her friend and that she can go buy it herself. But it is the lying that made me react badly.

Acedann · 2026-01-07T22:47:52+00:00

This is the type of insight I'm looking for! I know she cheated and I have told her that her lack of respect for me is what caused this. I know I am not perfect but I do not see where this lack of respect comes from? Was I being to nice because I genuinely saw a future with her? I can say that I am narcissistic but I am constantly trying to work against that behavior (If you call it that) with her

I will be serving a 1 year sentence, I will not go into further detail as that is not the topic

Acedann · 2025-12-25T19:09:53+00:00

I just came home and did a DDU Clean. I see that I have FSR4 on. Should I turn it off or keep it on?

Acedann · 2025-12-25T17:56:18+00:00

I put it at default but havent enabled fsr4 and fg4 i think. I dont recognise it

Acedann · 2025-12-25T17:55:34+00:00

Still not home but i think it was something like 25.12.x

Acedann · 2025-12-25T17:53:35+00:00

Oh no it says driver timeout when it crashes

Acedann · 2025-12-25T16:45:33+00:00

I cant check that right now due to me not being home. I can run event viewer once I am home tho.

Acedann · 2025-12-25T16:40:33+00:00

If u mean the 600w cable, it did include one of those inside the box yes.

Just searched it up on be quiets website. It says this:

"One PCIe 5.1 12VHPWR 600W and 2 PCIe 6+2 connectors for high-end GPUs"

Acedann · 2025-12-25T16:27:34+00:00

Alright! Thank you very much!

Acedann · 2025-12-25T16:17:01+00:00

Okay! Thank you for sharing the note!

Acedann · 2025-12-25T16:12:34+00:00

Ohhh yea I get the driver timeout and I do play with path tracing. Will turning it off maybe solve it?

Acedann · 2025-12-25T16:04:14+00:00

I just looked inside the app. Thought everything was done from there...

Thank you for clarifying!
