For Malzahar's runes, we want a combination of Ability Power and Magic Penetration to maximize his damage. Magic Penetration Marks are the best choice for increasing the damage of his spells, while Flat Ability Power Quintessences provide a strong boost to his early and late game damage.

Malzahar is at his weakest during the early levels and can be vulnerable to ganks due to his lack of mobility, so Armor Seals and Magic Resist Glyphs help him survive the laning phase and give him the extra defenses he needs to scale into the game.

When playing Malzahar, you ideally want to stay at a safe distance and constantly cast your spells, which is why we want to max out the Offense tree. The bonus Cooldown Reduction, Ability Power, and Magic Penetration all work extremely well with Malzahar, increasing the damage of both his abilities and his Voidlings.

We don't gain as much from the Defense tree, so the remaining points should go into Utility. The extra mana regeneration and faster Recall help you stay in lane longer, farm more efficiently, and reach your core items faster.

• Null Zone (W) is an AoE area for a short time
• Summon Voidling (P) creates a voidling after a number of casts
• Nether Grasp (R) does not have the null zone around the target
