After playing him more and more, I just can't help it. He feels so extremely dull to play.
Duelling is all about knowing which Heroes you can kill faster than they kill you, because you must impaired to lose favourable 1v1 as all you need to do is apply DoT and spam the shit out of Wraith Strike.
Team fighting is practically the same, you just try to spread the DoT with Tormented Souls and jump on favourable duel while spamming the shit out of Soul Rip to stay alive.
I feel like there is no playmaking, the difference between good and bad Malthael is knowledge of favourable 1v1s and when to engage. With the way his kit works, you can't make any plays other than going all in and sticking to target like a glue.
I don't know, maybe I am wrong. I like him as character, but the gameplay is just not fun for me.
