"With a 30 second cooldown"

The cooldown scales inversely with levels. I think its 23 seconds at level 1, 6 seconds at level 18.

"in lane it's close to useless if the oppoenent doesn't know how to play League"

Unless the Malz player penalizes his lane opponent for getting in AA range with Q>E. With shorter spell cooldowns and lower mana costs, Malz will trading more frequently in lane and this new passive helps immensely. The new Malz player will be much, much more aggressive to take advantage of the new passive.
