Mal' Damba aka the most annoying support

[-=♥=-Kickypoo-=♥=-]

When Mal' Damba reloads he throws his snake and it stuns whoever it hits, that however is not a huge problem what is, is reload spam, he can get behind you using f reload on you and get you in an infinite cirlce of mass stunning until it kills you, this is the problem. There are plenty of ways to fix it and it's anyones worst nightmare when Maldamba is playing Flank and you can't even manage to get away

they need to nerf wrecker and cauterize. Cuaterize especially since it's percent based. Level 2-3 cauterize can make a grover ult entirely useless. if they refuse to nerf at lest make his ult unable to be reduce past a certain point

Do you even realize how short his range is? just step away from him, his offense is terrible and his defense is even worse hes very very easy to kill, plus if that happens get resiliance, reduce the amount of time his stun has

I'm getting a lot of people saying go for res but that leavs you up for damamge when I'm playing support it makes it harder to sit on point with 2350 HP and two tanks on the enemy team in a competative game

Get resilience or just kill him from range. If the Mal'Damba is going for the stun-lock he probably isnt even that good because if the support is out trying to go for 1v1s then no one is healing the team.

Mal' Damba has a sneaky snake ability that makes him ruch in the derection your looking, as well as the classes I main (Ying, Ruckus, Skye) to not be able to deal great or even any damage at range and his gourd can heal his team, if he drops it on then, a pretty good ammount when tanks or stacking Rejuvinate

Mal'Damba is a good healer, yes, but he's not that strong. His gourd need to be combined with his RMB to even get near Ying's level of heal. His stun on the other hand, is stopped cold by tier 2 resilience. Remember, if a Mal is going to flank, that means he's not healing anyone and is a ripe target for any half-competent flank.

Also, Ying not being able to outclass Mal'damba at range? Lulz mate, have you ever played Ying? her mirror-laser thing beat Mal's cobra anytime. Combine that with shatter too, for added damage and a better escape skill. Mal'damba is certainly not bad but he's not too strong either.
He's one of the most balanced and fun champ to play as.

Ying's range isn't very far and neither is Mal' Damabas BUT if Mal' Damba is close enough to Ying for Ying to be able to hit Mal'Damba can stun lock, and with most people going Skye, Ruckus ect in the queues I end up in it's harder to survive all that direct damage with 2300 health as Ying making Haven better use of points when Mal' Damba is the only stun on that team. If Bomb King or Sha Lin were on the same team as Mal' Damba I would go resiliance but if it's just Mal' Damba and there's a Direct damaging character with fast fire rate like Ruckus Ying Victor Tyra and others you're better off getting Haven to last longer and avoid Mal' Damba at all costs, tanks are bullet sponges most people aim for meaning you're better off just going Haven and Mal' Damba doesn't have to flank to spam reload and he's still a hard target for flanks if you're targets are direct back line dps characters. So getting Resiliance isn't the most useful way to spend money all the time.

I agree that buying Resilience all the time is simply not viable, and I must admit that I rarely buy Resilience, too. That's not because Mal'damba is inherently strong or weak, but because I'm the type of player who evaluate the threat of another player based on their skill, not what champion they're currently using. Suffice to say, I met a lot of bad Mal'damba players that simply rush forward to stunlock me and then die because he miscalculated the odds of him surviving getting shoot at on the enemy's back line. That's the thing about game; the danger of any champions is based directly on how good their players are. A bad Mal'damba will rush, try to stun and die (Assuming that your damage dealer is at least competent enough to exploit his recklessness) a good Mal'damba stay back, heal, and find the best time to stun people (e.g, When a frontline is going back to recover)

Mal'damba have weakness, (such short range, longest reload time in game besides Buck, lackluster escape without card, healing that requires good aiming) that could be exploited by any decent player just like every champion in game.

Good day to you my friend :D

Pip is a jack of all trades, but he isn't great at any of them
