Your ult by itself will kill very few enemies, particularly since they have MR if they built QSS. And your Q has a delay so anyone moderately competant should be able to dodge it- particularly since it strikes horizontally. If they build QSS the only thing that will hurt them is your ult and your Q, (and the voilding but late-game he isn't doing much anyways) because they aren't standing on your W and your E is removed by the active, even Anivia can survive the damage from just your Q and your ult.

Removing 3 out of 4 spells from a champion for 1 item active equals death, particularly if one of your spells makes you stand perfectly still to be hit- no two ways about it. Your ult by itself kills nobody, not to mention they're free to counter-burst you if you keep it up after they QSS. Luckily, almost nobody builds QSS, otherwise Malz would be used a lot less than he already is.
