If Malz' Ult were a stun, would that be a buff or a nerf?

Pros: Drop the stun, use your rotation, and GTFO. Can't be interrupted.

Cons: Now gets broken by Cleanse and reduced by Tenacity.

What do you think, GP&B? Would this be a buff or a nerf over all?

That entirely depends on whether or not the ability still required him to channel it. If it does, then it's an outright nerf since the enemy may take Cleanse to invalidate a significant portion of his kit.

If he is able to move and cast during the duration of the stun, then that may be considered a buff, depending on how Cleanse interacts with his other abilities.

It'd be a nerf. And a fairly significant one. He'd become vulnerable to Cleanse and tenacity while still being countered by QSS. It would be a huge nerf really.

Edit: Just noticed that you suggest it can't be interrupted and he can just use it rather than channeling. That might be a buff. It's hard to say.

It'd make him much more powerful versus people that don't take countering items (QSS, cleanse, tenacity items) and weaker against people that do. Not sure if that's a good thing - champions that are OP if not counterbuilt and weak when counterbuilt aren't a lot of fun.
