It's good when you picture yourself buying Malady, but it's not as pretty a picture when you're on the receiving end. Reminds me of Zhonya's Ring, which essentially was split into Zhonya's Hourglass (defence) and Rabadon's Deathcap (offence) because it was simply too much for a single item slot. A champion that would use it as a core item (as would any champion who needed AP and armour) would have an immense powerspike with only this item. The same happened with Malady. AP, attack speed, damage on-hit and MR shredding on-hit in a single item would be a dream come true for champions like Xin Zhao, Warwick, Jax, Fizz, Kog'Maw and the likes. Even Shyvana, Gnar and Varus would benefit a lot from it.
