Make his passive work the same way his old passive did- 4 ability casts to proc, and make the shield portion available for 2/3/4 seconds, increasing at levels 11 and 16, with a cooldown of 12/10/8 seconds, scaling the same.
(Feel free to critique these numbers as necessary- this is just a broad-spectrum idea of how to bring Malzahar back into favorability, both from the standpoint of 
mains and people who have to play against him.)
Let me know what you guys think!
Or just keep it the way he is. He's viable and at the game time not that hard to go against.
So shutting down most competition. I think Malz passive needs to be linked to only when his ult is. A free banshees every 25 secs with no mana cost or ability slot is broke no two ways about it. Move it only when he hits R. And make passive some aura buff or mana regen. It's heavier for game and the eventual nerf stomp
I want his ult separated.
Riot legit took Malzahar's tea cup and saucer that are completely fuctional individually, placed the saucer on top of the tea cup and then proceeded to tell him that he can hold more tea in the saucer than he ever could in the cup.
And did they forget to mention its super glued?
