^Its not only that...they arent hyper countered by qss...Sure skarner and ww get countered as well...but skerner cans till perma slow and destroy you with his abilities...ww can chase a low hp carry,can still heal and stuff like that...malz not only gets all his damage reduced by a lot but uses his main damage ability and the only relying one...his E has a way too short range for malz no escapes and need to kill its target to be effective...unlike swains or cass's for example which are powerfull and spamable as well(talking about cass i know swains isnt that spamable but it deals a lot of dmg and amplification).

Another problem is the unreliability of his spells...nobody will stand in his W for more than 2 secs...his q is easily avoidable even in teamfights and his R even if you dont have qss can be easily stoped by a cc.Cassiopeia even without ult can destroy with her machine gun of fangs...ryze as well..brand can aoe the enemy team dead with his spells and has a way better tank melting spell which is a passive and can be aplied many times...THey may not have escape mechanisms like ahri or gragas but they can unleash all theyre spells and at least they dealt quite some damage.Karthus is usefull even if dead...can ulkt the enemy and help even from base...anivia can turtle farm,disorganise tf and has her passive for salvation.

Afk farm?Yes! but so can all the ones you mentioned as well,especially morde which shares same problems as malz,,countered by qss and no escape mechanisms but hell...morde can 1 shot the carry before they can even qss and then proceed to 1v4.

The saddes part is actually that riot doesnt give a damn about him...same with most champs that are underplayed...simply because they arent profitable and not many ppl spam and tell them to rework or buff.ANd even if theyd "look at him" it would take more than 3-6 months.

Thats all i ahve to say...i jsut wish i can pick malz one day and make the enemy know that "Oblivion awaits them"Literarly.
