Am I wrong here? Is this a legit deal? To play a REALLY AP-centric champ as AD in this mode? I understand having a counter to MR or Armor in reverse situation, but is it really necessary? Seems like every time someone does this it's because they didn't get to play an AD champ and got out-rolled.
I also know champs like MissFortune or Ezreal are perfect for going either way... but champs like Malzahar?

AD Malz is about objective control, not necessarily killing people (although I believe that triple is mine). Voidlings scale off AD hard, and will aggro neutral camps.
Buttered Butter1 votesYeah, my buddy did it and was alright with objectives, but the other guy didn't really do anything.. ended with 2/12/3. I'm just not sure it was the best approach vs. all Sona. We really needed to be able to melt them from a distance. Seemed like this white-hit range was kinda short too, but maybe I'm wrong on that.

It's definitely not something you can just pick up. Mana management is hard, and you have to resist the temptation to go balls deep for auto attacks. It's all about pushing voidlings out and marking targets with malefic visions. That game my CS was pretty garbage, but the few times I did this as lane Malzahar I had the most CS and towers by a large margin.
Sona sounds like a bad time no matter how you play it though.
