There seems to be a bug with the [W- Void Swarm] ability. The voidlings basic attack on any jungle monsters triggers the kill effect, so there spawns like 5-6 voidlings on each jungle camp, giving him not really a hard time in the jungle. I think this is not intended, because it doesn't work on regular minions, only on jungle minions giving malz the ability to solo rift herald at lvl 4-5 or solo kill dragon early.
updated W - Void Swarm
Summons a Voidling. The first time a Voidling attacks a champion, large monster, or epic monster, or assists in killing a unit, Malzahar spawns a new Voidling with the same remaining duration. When 3 or more Voidlings are active, they each gain 50% attack speed.

LOCKED OUT Additional Voidlings won’t spawn if the current Voidling has less than 4 seconds of duration left.
TARGETING Voidlings prefer to attack targets afflicted by Malefic Visions or Nether Grasp, gaining 100% movement speed when moving toward them
removed THINK FOR YOURSELVES! Voidlings no longer prefer to attack champions that Malzahar has basic attacked
In other words: Not a bug.
Malzahars Voidlings won't stay around for longer than 12 seconds (from the moment the first one spawned.) Solo Dragon looks pretty easy, but then the 12 seconds are over and he just stands there trying to kill the Dragon but barely dealing damage to it. He WILL take a lot of damage from doing Dragon, so if you ward it you might just get a free kill :^)
That is not a bug this is how malzahar works now:
We've had this several times on the PBE whre you could also solo baron as soon as you got 40% cdr. Which is why his voidlings damage to monsters is reduced to 75% to balance overall damage output.
Last I checked (when they all first went on the PBE) this how it worked. I don't know if they changed it, but if they didn't this is how it was meant to be. However you need to have AD, so it compromises his damage.
