Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
Except for rare builds, Qiyana deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Malzahar deals primarily magic damage (93.48%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Malzahar, ranking 5th (versus 52nd for Qiyana) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Qiyana player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Malzahar player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
