Jax and Yasuo maybe, but Malzahar can just buy a Zhonya's Hourglass against Fiora. Activate when she ults and he will take no damage at all and will win trades. Not to mention, Malzahar isn't as squishy as other mages, so he can't just be obliterated. There was a time that a Fiora actually all-in'ed me as Malzahar and even used her ult and Ignite. However I still managed to survive and then use W, E, and Malzahar's ultimate. The result was that I killed her. I got surprised of that, but it was very incredible.

As for Ryze, Malzahar can do 2 things to win against him: first, buy a Banshee's Veil. Second, take advantage that Ryze has a shorter range.
