What is Malz' "niche" supposed to be now, exactly?

Can't be a support with insane pick potential

Can't be a midlaner that melts tanks

Can't be a laner with an existent laning phase

So now he's relegated to being an afk pushing bot that waits until he gets a few items to delete everything?

Ofc he's overtuned right now; nerfs are on the way. But after those nerfs tell me: WHAT is the point of picking Malzahar?

People never realized how good he was pre-rework. He was perfection

To be a solid Counter pick to Yasuo? Edit, to be a lane pushing 1v1 duelist who goes mid , his kit still rewards that.

I mean he still does the role he was always best at, a support that plays mid with the ability to delete one or two people. I've never really played Malzahar where I'm looking to hard carry from the very beginning, if that happens it happens, if not you're still useful in all phases of the game.

I've always played Malz like a complete lane bully, push the wave from the back, keep them trying to farm under the tower while you're harassing them away, and pray they get it tired of it and try coming at you.
