There's not really any reason for Malz to jump into the fight, as you say. His abilities have enough range that he can use them safely, and if you want him to jump the enemy carry, then it won't work no matter how tanky he is. He has no gapcloser and his only CC is his easily interrutped ult. Any competent team wouldn't let you get more than half a second off, and then their carry is gone.
