I just ran into the ultimage VI counterpick... Soraka

If you Q in, she drops silence under your feet and you can't ult... if you ult in she drops silence under your feet and you can't E or Q... I got wrecked every team fight as Vi, and just sat around auto attacking because she very easily throws off every Vi combo that I am used to using and it takes a second or so for the brain to process that the spells I am clicking are not going off... I imagine she would be VERY strong vs yasuo as well if you just drop silence under him as he ults.

I very much like this new soraka silence, well done Riot.

In addition, unless I'm mistaken, dropping the silence under a Vi who is charging her Q cancels the currently active charge.

(Mwahahaha... Yes I do have a ward over that wall!)

Most threads I see involving sorakas equinox, it usually involves how toxic it is.

would the same tactic work with malzahar and his 3 second silence or would it be less effective because it's delayed and more obvious?

her having a silence is nothing new, its just now the silence's potential has been nerfed significantly. With old soraka I dont know how many times that point and click 2.5 second silence completely screwed someone over when they went to cast a spell, do a combo, or try to flash over the wall >:D i especially like doing it to people who sidle up to a wall for an obvious flash over it. big fat NOPE! :D
