The voidling would die before killing any of the minions, his job is to tank occasional skillshots and deal dat AD damage.

I think if there's a "something Malzahar" that's is not fully viable, it's jungle. He would be a very safe, fast jungler, but he would have 0 ganking power until level 6, will probably be vulnerable to counter jungling and is so good in lane it wouldn't be smart to put him there.

He wouldn't have to back a lot, since the voidling would take the brunt of the damage and his malefic vision would load his mana back to full, and his call of the void+malefic vision would deal good damage, with a free madred's bloodrazor under the form of null zone. But then your ganking power would be utterly void until level 6, a bit like warwick, and ninja ganks with a voidling would be impossible.

The more I think about it, the more I realise many many champs are more viable in the jungle than previously thought; but many of them still remain much more efficient in lane; that's the case for malzahar.
