malzahars biggest counter

Towers. I kinda understand as to why its balanced that way, but the simple fact that his kit's damage is loaded onto voidlings which in turn get one-shotted by towers renders malzahar useless in laning majority of the time. It's why you barely see him mid anymore and why people brought him bot lane because he is now better at teamfighting than 1v1s which is sad becuase his identity was mostly associated with 1v1's.

Now...it does make sense as to why voidlings get one-shotted by towers and its becuase his diving would be op. Just the thought of the voidlings getting away with 2 to 3 tower shots when they do so much damage is scary especially with their movespeed. However, a characters counter should not involve hiding under tower. If we want to see malzahar return to mid then we need his damage on his q and e brought up AT LEAST. Hell I wouldn't care too much if they removed voidlings altogether and replace it with something else becuase voidlings are what is ruining him.

Options: A. decrease damage and movement speed of voidlings, except they are no longer oneshotted by towers. this will allow him to be more effective in diving but his damage wont be broken. B. completely remove voidlings from kit. As this ability is what is really breaking malzahar. C. decrease damage and movement speed of voidlings, but keep them oneshotted by towers, however compensate by buffing the damage/scaling on q, e and maybe r. D. just freaking revert to old malz.
