Recently picked up Malzahar. Lost my first game with him but then so far I have won every game with him except one more where Fizz beat me, but I learned. All of these were ranked, so im 9-2 w/l in ranked with malzahar. I even first pick him, because I dont feel a threat from any counter picking.

Build rod of ages first, then you need intense AP so dont waste time on a Liandry, just rush needlessly large rod items or if you arent earning enough, then rush blasting wand items like void staff. The AP ratio's on his Q and E are both huge.

One thing I learned in my last game was how amazing spellvamp is on malzahar. I built a will of ancients and stocked on a hextech revolver for 32% spellvamp. The E generates mana for Malzahar as it kills minions and moves on to the next minion. So I literally always had mana and recovered immense HP in teamfights!

Love malzahar!
