It was done to make malzahar less of a one combo grab and delete button. Plain and simple. His old ult plus his E and maybe Q and W would just mean death for you in the relative early game and well into the late game if he thrived. And what slow? Malzahar has never had a slow in his kit, unless you gave him rylais in which it's just as easy to apply now than it was before, you just have minions instead. It's acutally HARDER to play malz now. Sure he's safer, but his damage has been funneled into his minions, which can be killed. Your spell, can be killed. You couldn't kill his spells before, you had to clense or die.
