It's like Picking Veigar without being able to reliably stun/meteor. It's an intrinsic part of their kit that needs to be mastered in order to be succesful. Ofcourse this is all void if you just play for fun, but keep in mind that you'll need to be able to do this if you want to play more seriously.
[COLOR="#cc8899"]I will likely master this on the korean server next year if I'm not back in the US at that time. While I'm overseas I will not be attempting to play competitively with the intent of being tournament-quality good. The same argument you made for why I shouldn't play Malzahar also applies to AD carries (last hit timing being less forgiving, kiting being more difficult), anyone with a skillshot (nead to lead targets more, predict, etc), any Jungler (smite timing being less forgiving when stealing/defending buffs/dragon/baron), anyone with the ability to shield teammates (timing being less forgiving) or even anyone with a shield of their own (again, having less time to react to skillshots/CC/etc).
Again, it makes it less reliable but not impossible. I'm not going to ignore a champion simply because ping makes them slightly less reliable. I wasn't saying it's even as bad as a 50/50 chance, I was saying that every now and then something of the sort will fail even if executed properly. I'm still going to practice it to mimimize that occurence, but until I master it as best I can under the circumstances I'm not going to implement it in normal play.[/COLOR]
