I rather ask what you're whining about. Malzahar has a silence, is ranged, has an supression same duration and again is ranged. Avatosh has to get in melee range to activate his ulti. Without any dashes it's hard for him (just like Udyr), secondly Avatosh has no defensive boosts so he will drop fast.

About W: a 0,5 snare is pretty much nothing. You can still cast skills/spells and autoattack.
