An argument against rendering him UP beyond useless because I find it untrue that Sash makes him useless. First of all, it's very rare to be up against a team that all decides to get Sash; meaning, you'll always have SOMEONE to suppress.

In the case you are fighting people with Sash, it's not like your castrated - Malz still has 3 other skills to work with that still make him a viable AP threat. In other words, if you're playing Malz and centralizing his gameplay around his Ultimate - you're doing it wrong. Yes, it's a strong ability, but he has 3 other fine abilities to work with. If your still not convinced, ask yourself this: What am I doing when my ultimate is on cooldown? If you give up and play half-assed until your ultimate refreshes, you really should reconsider how you're playing Malz. The point I'm beating a dead horse with is that you can still do fine with his normal abilities if you know how to play.

This next argument, isn't really an argument but more of a new way to look at the situation when your opponent gets Sash. If a carry you've been pwning gets it because you've been ulting him all day, then consider that he just wasted 1440g when you could just start targeting someone else and now he's 1440g short of his usual AD or AP build that he goes. Of course, it's not really a waste of money when you get 56MR and an uber Cleanse but at least you made him use up an inventory slot where he could've gotten something else.

And lastly, has a shorter cooldown than Sash. With max CDR, you're comparing a 48 second cooldown vs. a 105 second cooldown. So, in terms of numbers, it's not impossible to make him burn his Sash CD and then cast it again before Sash refreshes.

And TBH, as good as Sash seems to be, I rarely see it for some reason.
