The one that was designed to get stronger with each condition applied to him.

The one whose skills were conditional and meaningful.

The one that didn’t have the mace auto attack as an elite upkeep skill.

the old mallyx had some flaws however.
UA was bugged or simply too strong, mainly in pvp, and also condi cleanse basically makes mallyx useless in group play.

The new changes are in the right direction. If it’s weak then it will be buffed.

He probably doesn’t play revenant and now that Mallyx can’t fight back against conditions is loving the idea of steamrolling us.

Mallyx was the underdog that nobody took because they were blinded by shiro’s “coolness”, but I absolutely loved it, never left my bar. I always though Shiro was plain and boring. If they dont revert the mallyx elite change, now it’s gonna deserve its underdog position as it’s literally the worst legend of them all. Embrace the Darkness’ condi copying made it worth trading shiro off, now you’re better off spamming autos with quickness than taking the condi legend, how stupid is that

I did play revenant, a lot, actually. And conditions are a joke in mallyx as long as you take demonic defiance. The elite consumed too much energy to really be useful anyways, I felt, and unyielding anguish was simply a skill to troll people with but never actually put out enough pressure. Now UA is a great skill, especially against d/d eles. Sure the condi copying nerf did hurt a bit but mallyx is still very strong against conditions because of the crazy amounts of resistance it can apply.

It wasn’t just to troll people it was great for preventing stomps on teammates while reviving them as well as landing clutch decaps in PvP.

Something tells me you didn’t or at least didn’t use Mallyx cause this legend was amazing. You could chain pain absorption and embrace the darkness for an expencive but secure stomp. It could totally counter entangle and a shoutbow or even a d/d ele with all the conditions and boon ripping which was so satisfying.

Entangle counter was ridiculously funny.

totally agreed, posted on this on several other topics:

- It has clear strengths in certain sitatuations but clear weaknesses in others.
- The synergy between pain absorption, the resistance trait and the elite was great, but also allowed strong counterplay by boonstripping and spiking the rev after pain absorption was used.
- The Elite allowed pain absorption to both have a defensive, but also offensive aspect to it, which is now removed, making it purely defensive, so less versatile, less fun and simply easier to use.

You took great synergies and interactions and versatility and dumbed it down and pushed it again in a direction where everything is simply an all-rounder. This creates very stale gameplay and a rigid and boring metagame.
