I don't built triforce Malphite ever, but I guess if you were going for it, it makes some sense. I'ma stick to my ArPen Marks and Armor Quints though.

do you get any damage items on malph then? cause without triforce of other dmg stuff you basically have 1 spell rotation and then you're more or less ignorable.

I usually have Sunfire and Frozen Heart and just sit on their carry's face and E him on every CD to keep that attack speed in the fucking gutter. I dunno, it might be different for me if team comps were different than they are right now, but atm, I feel like teams are incredibly high damage and low durability, so I don't feel pressured to deal damage when I have something like kass and trynd as my solos and would rather just be an unkillable rockman up in their ranged carry's grill keeping them at 0.4 AS.

Smash, you don't get Wriggles? It just seems like the ideal item for him during the first twenty minutes of the game.

You should consider wriggles, at least give it a try. You'd be surprised at how much faster the jungle is especially for malphite. Wrigglers with some boots takes off about a minute 20 seconds off jungling speed maybe more.

I don't understand the point of wriggles when your cleave damage from w and ground slam will aoe kill all the creeps at once. Getting wriggle procs on one minion at a time is only noticeably useful on the buffs, but malph does enough damage anyway that it doesn't justify the 1600 price to me and delaying your godly tank items. The sustain from wriggles also seems unnecessary, as your passive will absorb most of the damage while the dshield (what I like to open on jungle malph) and philo stone will regen the rest to top you off again.

Imo, with the new jungle you either go double gp/5 or wriggles. You don't go both. If you grab double gp/5 and wriggles you delay any real items for far too long unless you're hoggin lane farm all day. I mean, going double gp/5 and wriggles could probably work if you're trying to be 100% a support-role jungler but that's not going to work in solo q. I doubt it'd even work in arranged play since you're not gonna do damage, which may be okay, but you're also gonna be squishy as fuck.

yeah, I think I'm convinced now double gp/5 is better than wriggles after a few games. lol

It's just that most of your jungling speed comes from Ground Slam + Brutal Strikes, so Wriggle's wouldn't help that much. Malphite is slow to clear buffs but you can to start giving them away pretty early on so it's not really a big deal.

Malphite does a pretty good amount of damage, not just from his abilities. Being a tank, you can often get quite a few number of auto attacks in, and having wriggles really helps malphite. It increases his damage on his E, and makes his auto attacks hit harder. Personally I'm indifferent to going the gp10 route, though I've done it before, I just feel I'm really weak in the mid games, as opposed to opening wriggles first.

instead of wriggle's you could spend that 1600 on glacial shroud and a ward and you'll be better off. at least IMO. I get the wriggle's appeal, I just happen to think you guys are just wrong.

if your problem is feeling weak in the midgame then getting a wriggles is not helping you lol.

gp10 items are super strong on junglers, especially gank-heavy junglers. Even if you're going to build tanky DPS later (which can be really fun on Malphite thanks to his W) Wriggle's is a questionable choice unless you really need it for buff/dragon control.

Not all janglers need Wriggle's. In fact, it's a bad buy on some, like Rammus, Amumu, and Malphite.

Idk how attack speed reductions stack, so should Malphite's E already lowering attack speed influence my decision to get a randuins or frozen heart? I've been following my general Maokai build of double gp5 -> situational defensive items (usually aegis, glacial shroud, or a negatron, or sometimes i skip this) -> shurelya's and randuins. Should I alter my build path?

So far, I've felt nearly useless pre-6 as a jungler. Was I just being needlessly afraid of ganking, or should I be trying to just farm or counter-jungle or something? I wanted to play Malphite mainly because he seemed better suited to my follow-the-enemy-AD carry style I use on Maokai, but his ganks don't seem nearly as strong.

Also, is top lane Malphite primarily a counter pick to attack speed-dependent champs like Tryndamere? When else would you pick him to lane?

Attack speed reductions stack multiplicatively (with one exception). So Ground Slam + Randuin's Active + Frozen Heart = 74% AS Reduction (A 2.5s AS carry will drop to 0.65s AS). For reference, minimum attack speed is 0.2s.

The exception is Randuin's passive debuff. It subtracts 35% attack speed from the affected enemy before the multiplicative effects are taken into account.

It's fun. :3 But hardly efficient. Stacking GP10 puts Moose ahead.

It used to be good, but with new jungle, you don't have enough disposable income.
