That would be a reasonable explaination. Mal lacks any escape utility. I think every mage in LoL has at least a spell that will allow him or her to escape (i.e. Heimer with his stun nades or Ahri with her Spirit Rush and Charm).

Ryze - Snare

Lux - Slow/Snare

Cho'Gath - Knock up/slow/Silence

Swain - AoE Snare/Slow

Kassadin - free Flash/Silence

Orianna - Slow/Knock up

Lulu - MS buff/Slow/Polymorph/Knock up

Rumble - Slow/MS buff

Karthus - Slow

I would continue, but don't want to bore people. :-/
