it's crazy how many casters that rely on an hard cc as an escape get hard countered by THE MIGHT OF LOKFAR when it approaches..

I'd say Leblanc right? As Orianna, it's not so easy to win versus a Malzahar, but I'd imagine Leblanc's distortion would easily dodge the Q, and burst Malzahar down faster.

I'd say, like most mages, he's weak to Kassadin. I just played a game where I was laned up against Malz as Kassadin and went 5/0 in the laning phase and ended with 14/1.

I'm a few weeks late in saying this, but major props to Hieronymous Bosch, 2nd poster in the thread for a completely accurate and inspired mini-guide to Malzahar. That is precisely why he fits my playstyle, and I have a lot of fun with him even if the rest of my team gets rectally punished.
