Can we please look at Malzahar?

This is a champion with a passive shield so if I want to trade with him I have to somehow break it first, which he can punish with an E and auto. That’s an easy outtrade against me. Oh wait his E actually does a lot of damage because it’s an 80% AP ratio plus the Aery. Since I’m against Malzahar I’m basically forced to buy a 1300 gold item so that I can stop being camped and almost 100-0 in one Malzahar spell rotation because his Q (65%ratio), W (20% which is a lot considering how much they can hit me during his R duration), E (80%), and R (80%). But if he has Liandries that damage increases! So basically I’m buying a Qss to stop myself from getting one shot without counterplay but I’ll still take Atleast half of my hp in damage just from his other BS spells. His damage is just stupid high for a champion that plays so safe (hooray for passive shields), has stupid amount of pushing power because of EW in lane (AND FOR SOME FUCKING REASON SOME AP CHAMPS HAVE TO AUTO THEM INSTEAD OF USING A SPELL THAT DOES MORE DAMAGE THAN MY AUTO ANYWAYS #ryzeE #annie W FOR EXAMPLES), has little mana problems because his E refunds it for killing minions, and I’m sure there’s more BS to this champion. Ty for reading and I’m sure not all of you agree as I am only low gold (still better than 75% of players but hey). ANY TIPS TO PLAY AGAINST THIS CHAMP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!
