@Riot, can we get an opinion on how Malzahar is gameplay wise right now?

Needs a rework. His Ultimate is a click suppression and he's way too reliant on it to get kills (if his ult isn't interrupted, the other person essentially dies and they didn't get to avoid anything.) QSS is not a good counter since you have to spend 1.5k to rush it, which is putting you far behind Malzahar, who doesn't have to rush a purely defensive item.

Turn his puddle into his Ult and buff it. Make it grow quickly in size the more damage it deals or something.

Make his new W create a void-portal at the target location and then fire a skillshot toward Malz that stuns and damages the first enemy unit hit. Now it's possible to avoid the CC and Malz gets an actual escape tool.

For added fun, change up his passive a little. Every 24 seconds Malz summons a Voidling. Using a skill lowers the cooldown by 6 seconds and using an auto-attack lowers it by 3. If two Voidlings are already active when the passive is triggered, the oldest Voidling gets healed and has its duration increased by 7 seconds instead of a third Voidling being summoned.
