there are 3 things you have to worry about with malzahar over anything else

a-- predicting movement for your q placement (ideally you want to hit them near the edge if they have a spell shield type ability since it travels from both sides and will negate the shield then apply 1/2 the damage and silence time as well) b-- zoning with your e (malefic visions, also called the herpes) its a great farming tool, yes, but it can lead you to being overextended in middle or solo top (its viable i do it all the time) the idea is to get it to bounce through roughly 3 units, then land on the enemy while your voidling is at its 2nd stage (or 3rd). alot of people have trouble keeping track of their last hitting, and your deadly infection at the same time.

c-- zoning purely with your passive.. you should have a ling up every 2 waves at lvl 2 on (this is without clarity ofc, thats herpaderp).. when your ling is out on the field, your minion farming range is allmost doubled since your voidling has a certain "leash range" (thats what i call it).. if you get so far away from it while its attacking something, it retreats back to you. note that the ling is ofc attracted to whatever your DoT is currently on.. you can have more then one DoT in a wave, but if there too close to eachother your minions will get confused until it passes and just run between the infected. his minion in general is largely ignored, but it deals high damage until almost late game. even then if you have 2 out and a since target with a dot, they will deal significant damage alone..

anyways, he was the 2nd champ i bought, my first being morg, and ive got probably 300+ games on him id say
