Malzahar support... crazy or actually viable?
i recently played a game where i thought i was going mid but realized i was support after locking malz. i switched to exhaust and just went with it. started with 
+pots. rushed 
then built 
. early laning was tough because without the mana back from E i ran out pretty fast. my adc was a quinn. we won vs blitz and jinx. we did it again to see if it would work and won again (vs ashe and lee sin). i will admit i wasn't really playing the support role the way i should because i never bought sightstone or wards. it was essentially a kill lane. i'd like to hear other people's on whether or not they think it's a good and which adcs might have synergy with him.
pros: high bases, can take tower pretty easily, % hp damage for taking dragon, voidlings can block skillshots, voidlings can tank dragon, long aoe silence, suppression, can clear waves if needed, zoning
cons: slow, no escapes, no hard cc other than ult, might take a few cs while trying to refill mana, can't really peel unless the enemy is spell reliant for damage, can run oom quickly before getting mana items
i'm sure i missed a few pros and cons. i kind of want to see if AD malzahar would work as a support. obviously, my lack of rank and the lack of samples (2 games is a pretty small sample size) are a factor and i would not suggest trying this unless you're duoing with the adc
tl:dr it worked twice. what do you think about it?
then you could use your e to replenish mana, encouraging your adc to last hit the infected minions, and if they miss no big deal, since the item is bugged and triggers off everything.
To help with your mana issues: simply take a 
first. Both updates can be good, especially when you get another mana item, like
