Maloch has been my go to hero in the few ranked games that I’ve played. He was the one that got me to plat the very first time. This led me to share some tips playing him. I hope you’d find this helpful.
Of course this is not the only way to play Maloch. You can do “fun builds” like AS/crit or CDR rush with boots but I just decided to go with the more stable build since most people probably want to climb ranks anyway and a consistency is vital for that.
Check Chaos Squirrel’s Maloch gameplay review for more insights.
COMMENTS ON THE SUGGESTED ITEMS:
Mail of Pain: Good against burst AD damage. This is some sort of a punisher item against AD assassins.
Gaia’s Standard: This is a good source of MRes if you need it early. This doesn’t have Medallion’s CDR but movespeed is good on Maloch too. Also provides additional sustain which helps since Maloch can’t heal from minions/monsters.
Rock Shield/Hercules’ Madness: Provides Maloch with additional Shield. Also gives some Armor and MRes. I’ve seen Rock Shield in pro play. Helps a lot when Maloch goes in. This could be a good pickup if you want to heavily engage. Herc’s is the same but gives some AD and you don’t have to worry about dealing reduced damage which Rock Shield has. You’d have to be wary of the item cooldown though.
Odin’s Will: Since MS and damage increase are both good on Maloch, this could be a good choice especially if you want additional armor, HP, and some damage. It’s easy to trigger the passive on Maloch since he’s in the middle of fights usually.
Hyoga’s Edge: A good counter for Superman. Also one of the items in the game that provide dual resistances.
These are just some items that can be used. You can even go attack item 6th if you’re heavily snowballing.
