"If you are experienced with Malzahar, you learn that he is one of the very few champions, or peharps the only champion that can push the lane and stay safe at his tower."

Ziggs, Xerath, and Syndra are a few that do this while being more viable than Malz.

"This is extremely effective if your opponent is a LeBlanc, for example."

I'm not certain this is true mostly because it takes a few levels before E can swallow minions whole, and if you need to stay in range of the wave to push it, a decent LeBlanc will eat you alive. That match up was made easier because Leb no longer silences but she still has burst, a snare, and ambiguous dashes.

As for QSS, come late game the champs who would buy it are probably not going to be safe ulti targets in the first place unless they're crappy at positioning. Ulti is still best saved for diving bruisers who pack tenacity over cleanse abilities, or assassins. I mean, if a Kalista just decides to duel you well out of range of her team, then by all means pop ulti, but that's your enemy's own incompetence defeating them, not a tactical use of ulti.
