Riot, the nerfs on Malzahar are overkill

I know what you guys are trying to do with these nerfs, and I agree with you, but the voidling cooldown nerfs are too much. I'm a Malzahar player and as much as I enjoy getting 20 minute barons because voidlings can tank most of it if you rush CDR, it probably shouldn't be so easy for malzahar to do it. I think nerfing the max level cooldown is fair, but I think the level 1 cooldown nerf is overkill. I don't know if you guys know this, but you actually are supposed to put points into Malzahar's void spawn (W) before his Q. Voidlings are a large portion of malzahar's damage, and his laning is dependent on how good he is at using his void spawn. Making the cooldown 30s at level 1 is going to shoot his lane phase really hard.

Recommended change: I think Malzahar will still be viable if his cooldown at max level is nerfed to 20-22 seconds. So I think it would be better if the cooldown was just nerfed to be a 20 or 22 second cooldown at ALL levels. This way, you reduce his ability to abuse voidlings for baron while keeping his lane phase virtually the same.
