How To Better Balance Malzahar

Hello There Im your Average Bronze Lol Player and I Dont actually Get too mad With The Champ Designs they Make but to Be Honest I feel as if they Messed up with Malzahar The Reason is that they made His original passive into an Ability and Gave him a Free Spell-Shield with Damage Reduction like Really Riot Giving somebody a ability thats better than an item worth 2450 Gold just isnt Right and i know it may have a long Cooldown in the Beginning but having a get out of Jail free card up everytime makes it to where you can do actions that usually are punishable for no penalty at all. Second the amount of voidlings he can spawn is just way to much from what i saw the Total is Around 5-7 depending on how much time they have remaining now heres my idea on how to Better Balance Him

(Switch His Passive and Voidspawn Ability) Now I know That spawning Voidlings was his Original Passive was his Original Passive but all we have to do is make a Few Tweaks.

(New/Old Passive) Void Swarm: After Using 2 Abilities Malzahar Spawns A Voidling creature That lasts For 6s if it Kills a Unit or a unit is killed with Malefic Vision it spawns An additional Voidling with a refreshed lifespan with the Same effect as before (Max 3 voidlings) if a new voidling were to appear with 3 already on the Field the oldest voidling is to Die Immideatly. The voidlings Can have the Same stats as they currently are as it isnt that bad damage.

W: Void Shift: Malzahar enshrowds(covers) himself with the powers of the Void Blocking all incoming damage and becoming CC immune for 1s he can move while this Ability is in effect CD 20/17/14/11/9 You can tweak the Cooldown Numbers its not really that big of a deal

These are the Changes i Feel would still make malzahar a strong Champ But also a Healthy one as it makes him less of a let me clear all the jungle camps and dragon at lvl 3 while Taking minimal damage to a more of a ok I can Kill the Smaller creatures to spawn more voidlings but i still may take some damage after they Dissapear and it wont make it impossible for other champs to farm as they wont have to face 6--7 voidlings at once These are my Suggestions and I Hope I get some Feedback on if these would be good changes from the community or a riot employee

Sir. respectfully... No.

Rework his W into a SINGLE voidling that reserves mana (30,26,22,18,14% of max mana) and is as powerful as 3 voidlings put together. give it tibbers AI. let it be controlled with alt+click.

Then undo the base stat nerf (340ms, 550 range) and rework his passive, the very thing that makes him broken, into a spellsword slow that scales with levels and changes voidling priority.

With this malzahar loses his god tier jungle (would still be pretty strong though) and gains a less frustrating and more varied lane phase. Or revert the rework. Please rever the rework entirely. he was actually fun pre-rework.

But Having it Be one voidling just makes it boring and easy to play against like just focus it down in lane and then focus malzahar i just think Having 7 of them and being deployed at will makes it a Bit too much and having the Shield as an ability would require you to react to something rather than not having to do anything and block free Damage
