My concerns about Malzahar (no more nerfs)

So I'm making this post mostly out of concern for my favorite champion Malzahar playing as Malzahar has been a fun time and playing against him is a challenge sometimes but isn't impossible i did see some nerfs coming again to my favorite champion because it may be from his very high win rate and a lot of cries form the community saying is passive is too op but i think its because yes it is a bit like freeitem 3102 that block 90% damage that lingers for 1 second that is more than enough time to properly chain cc or attacks to blow Malzahar up or focus him down. But in his defense disagreeMalzahar see alot of malzahar's burst is gone the base damages of his Q and E were utterly gutted with ratios of .7 so 70% of his ap so out right his early game is shot he shines more so in mid to late game where getting caught is more dangerous from what i heard the passive duration will be dropped from 1 second to .25 seconds which is huge along with a increased CD on the passive until its up again your just asking to make life hard for this champion he doesn't see much play its not as bad as Yorick but if riot wacks him with the nerf bat this hard its gonna make playing him in ranked so much harder and his popularity drop like a stack of bricks i think a more fair option would be to add the .25 duration in but scale it up to 1 second by level 16 making it scale with his ultimate since it wont utterly make life totally rough for malzahar along with keeping the CD at 6 seconds because that is more than enough time to engage. I dont want him to become the Mordekaiser of the mage rework because he really did need some love from riot and nerfs always the best answer. look at kalista shes been hit with the nerf stick so hard we hardly see her. galio has been used more as a counter malz in the mid lane so it hes not totally hes just good very the meta champion that players hard trouble with or champion that just get totally out of control and the best way to stop malz is team work the thing riot has been pointing out we should be using this is a plea for mercy on malz because it a bit much i dont want him to become near unplayable because pre-rework malz had the damage to keep him self safe now he doesn't have the damage so much so if nerfs are going to happen make them with in mind of the malzahar players who have a rough time with enemy teams that have strong teamwork I'm more than open to discus this further

Vel' Koz could use a nerf. Ziggs could use a buff. Do they have a passive with this much bonuses? I think not.

The fact is, Malzahar has an incredible kit and this kid is whining about a broken passive who absorbs a ton of damage/CC immune and gives 1s effect afterwards. The nerf isn't targeting the damage portion; just less downtime upon successful bubble pop for counterplay.

Pantheon says suck it up.

There was way to much here for me to want to read, I main Malzahar and no matter the nerfs that come his way he is leading the pack for me.

Most mages don't even get the luxury of having a Banshee in their kit, so quit your whining.

That is such a stupid arguement... Velkoz ''Most mages don't even get the luxury of having true damage in their kit, so quit your whining'' Ziggs ''Most mages don't even get the luxury of having global pressure in their kit, so quit your whining'' Every champion kit is unique, naming a specific part of a kit and complain other champions don't have such a tool is just stupid.
