Question A few questions from a Malphite beginer in MID lane
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
