Malzahar (How to make him a mid laner again)

TLDR: Revert all of the voidling nerfs that gutted him and make it so that his ultimate can be Cleansed.

So I was a malzahar main since the rework from the mage update. Not a one-trick, but I was a malzahar main. I had around a 70% winrate over 120 games in high diamond. I stopped playing him completely when they gutted voidlings because all of the skill in that champion was knowing voidling tricks and how to manage voidlings. Now that Malzahar is not even that viable as a support anymore, I'd like to mention how Malzahar could be made a mid laner again. The first step is to revert all of the voidling changes, which are what completely ruined him as a mid laner. I wrote a few essays explaining all of the different things you could do with malzahar and how the voidling nerfs were not only ruining his viability but also his complexity.

Now, obviously something else has to be nerfed so it's not like we're just making him OP again. But how can we possibly nerf Malzahar in a way that he can be viable and require skill to play, but not be over powered? The answer is actually really simple. All you have to do is make malzahar ult a stun so that it can be countered with QSS. Anyone who was any good at malzahar knew how to do more than flash and kill someone with ultimate. Mid laners aren't supposed to build QSS. It doesn't build into anything for them. The only nerf malzahar would need it to make it so that his ultimate can be cleansed.

Keep in mind that all of those voidling nerfs would still need to be reverted if Malzahar should have any hope of being viable again.

1. Make voidlings the same static cooldown instead of something you stack up
2. Give them actual hp again, not the three-hit thing
3. Change the damage to how it used to be (Give them back the 3-voidling attack speed boost, but take away the AP damage buff that was meant to compensate)
4. Give back voidling speed when chasing a target that malzahar was ulting or someone who had malefic visions
5. Give back minion auto last hitting when at a certain threshold health as well as voidling multiplying when last hitting a minion or auto attacking a champion

This puts the skill, complexity, and viability back into mid lane malzahar without busting him. The part that was toxic was the part where mid laners had no counterplay to a malzahar flash ulting them. With cleanse available as counterplay, you'll need to actually know how to play Malzahar to win lane and win games on him. (Oh, and those "tricks" I was referring to. There was at least one trick on my list that I never saw an LCS pro do. He wasn't a very easy to understand champion or easy to play to his full potential)

I would like to start playing one of my old main mages again, so I'd appreciate it if Malzahar could be fixed in this way.
