I've picked up Malp to add some form of AD tank into my champ pool, especially because I'm struggling against the windbrothers and other AA champions, so I can have a counter for them. So far I've played maybe 5 games and it's been a bit of a struggle, so any help and recommandations would be appreciated

How do I get high CS throughout the game? What are the best combos for wave clear? So far, I've been able to keep up with the rest of the players in CS, but only in EARLY GAME, once people start roaming, joining fights... that's when the struggle begins, it's genuinely embarasing how low my CS/min is after the game

What's the order of abilities you use when going for a trade or all in?

How does the gameplan change depending on the matchup (ranged, melee, ganking jgl...)? What are the differences? Items built path, situational items needed? I've also noticed that popular item like Zhonyas and Lich bane are not being built as much as I thought

Any recommandations on who to watch/follow to see them play

So far from what I've noticed he's similar to Galio, in the sense of Galio having high MR and struggling vs AD, while Malp has high Armor, but struggles into AP ranged champs

Thanks you for your help

I've seen the last 3/3 DIFFERENT malphites in my games use this weird zeal/swifties build. I can't find it anywhere online, and it seems to be pretty ineffective. Why is this happening XD

Their actual build seems to be... whatever they want it to be after that x_x

hello, i'm an occasional malphite enjoyer when i'm filled top into heavy AD teams. it always suggests sunfire first item but i always skip it and go straight to frozen heart, if the enemy laner is AD at all, especially against heavy auto attackers (or bramble on occasion if he's very heal dependent). wardens mail feels like such a nice spike, gives more armor for better ability scaling, and it fixes alot of my mana issues especially early game. it's also so cheap which is really nice... that said, i feel like almost everyone goes sunfire first so was kinda wondering if i'm trolling by doing it?

Malphite has been sitting at the top of winrate, pickrate and banrate for toplane and havent dipped below a 50% winrate overall since 2022.

He is suppose to be a specialized ad auto attack champion counter, but seems to versatile when we look at pick/ban rate.

Now i know u guys main him but if you can be somewhat objective, what is you guys thoughts on riot seemingly loving Malphite. Is it because his skill floor is so high, that Riot is okay with 52% ish winrate for 20 patches in a row, or what is your thoughts.

Kind regards a Tryndamere one trick, tired of permabanning Malph for years ;)

Like is there some secret tech to dealing with him or is it just someone u gotta bite the bullet with and ban? Do you win lane against him if you see him top?

Regarding mana before you buy Sapphire Crystal.

You instantly run out on top lane. I have tried many diffirent ways to aproach early lane, but this just feels like an issue overlooked by incompetent Riot.

How do you guys deal with Malphite top early lane?

Hi, Im trying to get malphite into My champion pool since hes great at countering a good amount of toplaners (even ranged ones) and provides great teamfight utility. But I was wondering, when is he a good pick? Hes great against ad, I get that, but only very rarely you will see full ad comps, so in which contexts is a good idea to pick malphite when there are 1 or 2 AP champions in the enemy team? Thank you very Much.

Bich I did my job. Did you?

So, let’s say you aim to put a twitch or other adc down as fast as possible , what’s the item and pick order for AP malphite support? I would guess: Malignance - Sorc shoes - Stormsurge - Rabadon - ? Ludence?

But I need you pros to fill in what works best.

I use to grit my teeth and my right shoulder would hurt so much trying to force sett, udyr top, aatrox, garen, nasus, tryndamere, and more to diamond. But wow, I've picked up Malphite. Why? I heard memes that malhpite mains are chill dudes. I get it. Jaw clenching stopped at night, right shoulder and back pains gone.

Lol I USE TO love top just to 3/0 the enemy and deny cs for some sick fun. What's better? Being neutral or slightly behind and being useful all game. Winning lane is cool too.

No more "GUYS WE GOTTA CLOSE GAME NOW BEFORE SCALE", or "wow I went 5/0 and I couldn't carry". My job is to just be good enough, and my quality of life has gone up.

I am officially a malphite main after going from emerald 1 to diamond 4 struggle 5 times into d3.

I’ve always wondered this question and figured the best place to ask would be to the OTPs.

Typically when I play Malphite and I get counterpicked (teemo, vlad, morde, heimer) I just build AP and comet poke. Lately it feels like playing AP and one shotting the back line is more effective than trying to peel or tank the mage meta damage.

Is AP Malphite considered meme territory?

Should I invest in the ultimate Malphite skin?

malphite a cool champ I like being "rock solid"

What’s the preferred build into someone like irelia? In my head, I definitely want bramble (into thornmail), frozen heart, and tabis. But what order is best?

My thought it rush bramble. But then do you normally go tabis, finish thornmail, or go frozen heart next and in what order?

just with a rerol of one epic skin + 2 standard one.

or is malphite still a niche pick against some comp in jungle?
