I've been rushing Trinity instead of the standard sunfire cape route, and I've been htinking of trying it in a ranked game or two. He's admitidely not the best at controling a teamfight, but he can be pretty powerful. With the bruiser metagame, I think it might have some success. Are there any highish elo players who play malphite a bit? | ||

If you can be pretty diligent about last hitting, it's really easy to harass your opponent out of the lane and get really farmed. A really farmed malphite does surprisingly well.

Are there any highish elo players who play malphite a bit? Ulti is too long of a cd , im 2.2k + and i have 300 games in which ive seen malphite only once. He was solo top , rushed deathcap and sheen. Instant killed people early to mid game with his ulti/ignite combo but late game it lost them the game because he was completely useless. | ||

There is essentially no reason to be playing him over Rammus and Amumu, both of whom do what he does, but with more flexibility. | ||

I don't know, I think he's definitely not the best tank, I don't think that anyone is going to argue about that, but I think he fills a different roll than Amumu as a "bruiser" sort of champion. I think that Jarvan is probably more comperable to Malphite in terms of his role in a team as a walking initiator that does decent damage. Jarvan obviously is probably a better bruiser tank because of his team utility through banner BUT on a slightly tankier team, I think malphite might be a good choice. | ||

Ashe obviously , i started playing ~3 months ago and it was just at the time alistar was buffed. So i always used to check alistar is maplhite on steroids. | ||

I build him pretty much pure tank after philo / HoG but pre level 10 or 12 ish he can still be pretty terrifying. After that his damage falls right off obv but you can become pretty invincible, initiate like a boss and really mess up the enemy's AD carry(s). Plus he's like twice as fun to play as every other champion imho. | ||

YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!! ULT -> E -> Q No but it doesn't work in a serious game ofc, but saw this AP malphite in one game it was HILARIOUS! He'll do his combo and turn right into a golden statue, funniest shit ever. | ||

Its sad though what state malphite is in atm. He was my first main, and I hardly play him now because he's so underwhelming. His ult is pretty nifty, but that's not enough of a reason to play him | ||

Now you hardcounter melee dps AND ranged dps thanks to your -aspd, %+armor and %+damage. I'm pretty sure nothing can 1v1 you with Randuins PD BT. | ||

Ha, not long after posting this, I saw some compelling Malphite play by Empire's Darien playing solo top Malphite in their third game against SK at the IEM Kiev qualifiers - seems to have gone double Doran's Ring + Sorc Shoes before transitioning to tank items with Sunfire Cape & Warmogs. There's a clip of him on YouTube of him exploding Ocelote's Xerath, and you can watch the game at http://de.twitch.tv/esltv_studio2/b/300439704 from 1:20ish onwards. | ||

I ran a few custom games on him in the jungle, and his clears are easy and fast now. Malphite has two AOE attacks for camps, a decent cc nuke, and an excellent ulti for ganking. Your thoughts? I went like wit end -> atmogs and pretty good if you hit late game. His problem is the early game isn't that good but he's pretty best late game. His w with 200 ad is hilarious in team fights. | ||

In the current jungle, Malph is a legit pick. I go Frozen Heart as first big item. | ||
