I really like AD malzahar, but when playing him u should also consider his negatives. some cons i can think of are:

-total lack of sustain. voidlings don't work w/ LS or SV. and u don't AA much in a fight.

-Sustained damage, not as bursty as AP malz. thats why u have to build him tanky.

-VERY mana hungry if not played in dominion (or proving grounds, i think... there is increased mana regen there too).

-low teamfight presence. AoE damage is low, taking out the carry is not easy. the AoE silence is still awsome though. generally much better in 1v1 or 1v2 scenarios.

-0% mobility.

thats all I can think of. his pros:

-among the fastest and most safest pushers in the game, as long as your voidlings are not focused by the enemy laner, and they shouldn't. voidlings are not as squishy as u might think.

-damage output with 2 voidlings out is HUGE - once u have 2 voidlings out, use your ult so your voidlings will rip the target's face off in ease.

-even though u don't build AP, all your abilities keep their uses. Q for silence (and stop captures in dominion), W got very high base damage (and somewhat low AP ratio) anyway, E is used to direct the voidlings, R to root the target in place.

-cool harass with E+voidling, which forces the enemy to run so your voidlings will have harder time hitting them.

-that new voidling's dance is OP.

hope it helped u know what AD malz is :)
