Malzahar was indirectly nerfed with the patch V4.20. Quicksilver Sash not only is cheaper, but is now significantly easier to build early game. You can buy a Null-Magic Mantle which will already reduce Malzahar's early game damage a little, and Quicksilver Sash's ridiculous price will no longer be that much of a problem. Good for AD champions like Talon or Zed should they have to face a Malzahar in lane.

While Quicksilver Sash does not entirely cripple Malzahar (after all, Malzahar isn't only a suppression machine) it is still a nerf because people will now have an easier time countering his ult.
