| Matchup | Threat | Games | WR | Gold @ 15 | Gold Diff | Tips | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Katarina | Even | 324 | 46% | -547 | -1,113 | Do not hit the wave early; instead, use your E on her when she goes for last hits. If she pushes, trim the wave to set up a freeze. You can punish her roams very easily because of your waveclear. After level 6, if you haven't fallen behind, the lane should be over for her. | |
Skill Priority![]() E Malefic Visions Malzahar infects his target's mind with cruel visions of their demise, dealing damage over time. Using Malzahar's other spells on the target will refresh the visions. If the target dies while afflicted by the visions, they pass on to a nearby enemy unit and Malzahar gains Mana. Malzahar's Voidlings are attracted to affected units. ![]() Q Call of the Void Malzahar opens up two portals to the Void. After a short delay, they fire projectiles that deal Magic Damage and silence enemy champions. ![]() W Void Swarm Malzahar summons Voidlings to attack nearby enemies. 46.2% WR 305 Matches Summoner Spells![]() ![]() 47.1% WR 153 Matches Skill Order![]() Call of the Void Malzahar opens up two portals to the Void.

![]() Syndra | Not Favored | 293 | 46% | -277 | -720 | This is a tricky matchup. You need good movement to avoid being controlled. Try to bait her spells as best you can and spawn voidlings to match her push when her abilities are on cooldown. Her stun can buffer through your ultimate, so be careful. | |
![]() Orianna | Not Favored | 282 | 48% | -285 | -374 | It's hard to get priority against her due to her numerous waveclear spells, but you are very good at keeping her in lane. You can bait her Qs with good movement. Be aware of her gank setup. | |
![]() Yasuo | Hard | 258 | 50% | -319 | -645 | Avoid pushing into him in the early levels and try to keep the wave on your side. The matchup gets easier after Lost Chapter. If he doesn't build QSS, he is very easy to gank and shut down. Be careful, as his tornado can buffer through your ultimate. | |
![]() Akali | Easy | 245 | 48% | -198 | +74 | Space carefully against her Qs and let her push while you poke with E. After Lost Chapter, the matchup favors you, as you can always get push priority and you counter her mobility in fights. Never underestimate her all-in potential. | |
![]() Viktor | Very Hard | 234 | 42% | -225 | -609 | Try to avoid taking too much damage early, as he is very strong. Match his push as well as you can. Position your voidlings so he has to choose between clearing them or poking you. If he wastes his E, you have a window to push. Be careful of his ultimate, as it cancels yours. | |
