Simple Malzahar Fix - Support vs Midlaner

I dont think the ham fisted change really addresses the issue with Malz support and screws over the Malz mid super hard with the triple nerfed crabs. The major impact a support malz has is his supression ult so the other side cant trade or respond when its 2v1 during laning. After laning malz just becomes another AP mage with lesser items

FIX: **Make his ult's duration increase with other abilities. Something like 1 second base then +0.5 seconds per each of his other abilities recently on the target so you need a full E Q W R combo to get the 2.5 second suppression rather than just a flash ult which is going on now for pure CC. **

No mid malz ever opens with R since they want max E refresh and damage, and they also want crabs wailing on the target for as long as possible (doable while supressed) so those who are able to get a full combo off should be rewarded. Having a delay on W (cast and spawn) is so stupid to nerf mid Malzahar's all in combo potential. With this fix it'll reward those who get full combos off and ramp up properly just like with Darius' ult.

Fast Crab spawn blocking skillshots isnt even a problem since it's trading an ability for an ability so why get rid of it?

I am for it if they were to also shift some damage off of the voidlings and put it back into visions and increase voidling ap scaling. Though honestly his passive just takes up so much of his power budget too, I wish they could change it to something else so he would be easier to balance focusing on his midlane not support.

His passive is pretty easily popped on some champs while others it eats up an entire ability. Just need to pick wisely since most champs have a solid counter.

IE. Morgs pool - a single tick of it takes his shield off
