Playing Malz into Adaptive Helm Users (3v3)

Hey mains, I'm having a lot of trouble playing Malzahar late game into strong tanks that can abuse Adaptive Helm on Twisted Treeline. My team usually runs the 2 solo 1 jungle meta and we fight a Swain every game (not a big deal normally), but the Poppy/Darius/Urgot/Maokai just run past my team and jump on me. I can't ult effectively because it doesn't do much damage and the other two beat on me and I can't kite back enough because then they just dismantle my teammates. There are too many beefcakes to ban out, so I'm not sure what strategy I need to adopt to get more wins. If anyone has any advice for 3v3 specifically, I would appreciate it.

Ideally go for a win between 15 and 25 minutes. You want to win before the opposing magic defense becomes an issue. You can also try matching their bruisers with bruisers of your own and have Malzahar help with CC through his ult and Rylai's; just don't rely on Malzahar deleting members. Something like Kled or J4 top, then a tank with CC jungle Sejuani, Nautilus, or Maokai.

ban better, or play more coordinated and execute a game plan, sounds like you are in a premade, so take it seriously, maybe even stop for a defensive option if you really will lose any fight you don't do dmg in because of lockdown by bruisers

Have you gone precision second tree and used Cut Short to do 10% more damage to tanks with 2000 more health than you yet? You begin with 4% more damage if they have more than 150 health than you which is nice too.
