Well, if I see someone with GA I'd rarely engage 1v1. If anything I'd just kite him like I usually do against TF pushing my team.

I use my W more for zoning the enemy or if the enemies are cc'd/clustered. I use my R more when chasing, as I already mentioned. If an enemy tower dives an ally, I can R him under my turret and get an easy kill, for example. But I can see how R easily makes you die if used incorrectly.

My final build usually goes:

Sorcerer's Shoes > Archangel's Staff > Banshee's Veil > Rabadon's Deathcap > Zhonya's Hourglass > Void Staff.

Sometimes I throw a Athene's Unholy Grail in there just for fun in case I'm facerolling, even though I don't really need the mana reg.

On another sidenote, I've been playing Malz a bit like a standard AP carry, focusing on offensive masteries. Would you recommend utility instead?

Thanks a lot for your replies so far!
