If you are talking about ranked matches then it's a matter of just banning him or insisting on playing as his counter pick.

How would they know that you are choosing Malzahar top? Malzahar is a mid champion choice. If they still pick Ryze and get those champs to see you mid or top you get the person who is actually supposed to be in that lane to switch with you. They can only guess where you will go.
