The passive on malzahar needs to state that it shares the same type of passive in a way with Banshee's veil since I noticed that when seeing if this would work using it with the malzahar passive, it does not and instead causes them to both be used which needs to clear up any confusion on anyone wanting to buy the item on malzahar since it's just a waste of money to buy it now it seems for malzahar.
Rather than add clairification to how those two interact, they should just have Banshee's Veil absorb the ability without causing Malzahar's passive to proc. -- AFter all, he would not have taken any damage or suffer a crowd control effect (Either one of those is a trigger to his passive) if the receiving attack is negated by a Banshee's Veil
Well it should be like this or it could be like this, if he takes a hit from an ability it should only use the banshee's veil but not use the passive, where as if he is hit with a basic attack the veil is in fact not used and his passive is but that is not the case and is only a big flaw in my opinion with riot not being able to clarify how the two interact with each other since it's really deceiving in a way when you think that the wouldn't interact this way but do and needs to be addressed.
Yes I know that people would say get a hourglass over a veil since he has a free veil now but that isn't always the case since as much as I like hourglass it's a situational item just like veil and in a match when vsing ap champions I do prefer to have a veil at times over a hourglass because of the benefits it gives in certain situations over a hourglass.
