Key Insights

  • Enemies hit by
    E
    also have their attack speed reduced.
  • R
    's speed is increased by Malphite's bonus movespeed.
  • W
    resets Malphite's auto attack.
  • W
    's bonus armor is tripled while
    P
    isn't broken.

Strengths

  • A well-positioned
    R
    can singlehandedly win a teamfight.
  • Excels with items that enhance his tankiness, crowd control, and magic resistance.
  • His gank assist and teamfighting become much stronger after unlocking
    R
    .
  • Naturally counters AD champions and scales directly with how much Armor he has.
  • Q
    counters champions with movespeed boosts, taking a chunk of the movespeed for himself.

Weaknesses

  • Forcing Malphite to use
    R
    defensively lowers his teamfighting potential since he won't have any playmaking capabilities.
  • Immobile (outside of using
    R
    to escape), leaving him vulnerable to ganks.
  • Struggles against magic damage-heavy compositions.
