POCHOSAURUS12 says “Careful with R for ganks, is a good setup. If he go for comet try to dodge it with your Q. Abuse him early game.”

Wafflerush says “This big lump of rock isn't too bad to deal with. He will more than likely start with a barrage of Q pokes in the beginning. Save your W to block them and you will be saving yourself a lot of health. Your autos are already slow, and his E will make them feel like it takes business days to land. Take shorter trades with him and when you can get a grasp proc, try to catch him with a Q when he tries to pop you with one.”

TheMild1 says “Malphite is a free lane. He will have no damage to kill you and won't be able to stop you from taking plates. ”

Dragonlord1022 says “Fleet Footwork and Cut Down Second Wind and Unflinching D Shield start → Refillable → Phage/Null-Magic Mantle → Cleaver → Mercs/Swifties→ Steraks → Tri Force Malphite and Irelia are the two Gnar counter-picks I see the most often. - Play bushes or river level 1, don't tank a Q for free before first melees are getting low. - First sequence (until first back): - Play every Fleet Footwork auto until Malphite first back to abuse his mana. - Bonus points if you're able to force him to use abilities for CSing. - Don't allow yourself to get hit by anything but his Q. I.e., E out if he's going to be able to W or E you, and don't walk into range if you don't have E up. - After first sequence, play safe until Black Cleaver. - In general you can win on Mega timings, especially once you have Black Cleaver. - A good Malphite might try to proxy on you and find good rotations onto your team early. - Ping his rotations. - Don't try to stop the proxy if you don't have help. Malphite will live a long time vs AD champs and has both move speed and hit ult to get out. - (Typically) Don't try to follow. If you're away from a tower and Malphite just turns, you can easily lose. - Mentally prepare yourself to flash Malphite ult when needed; it's more than possible from mid to max range if you're expecting it.”

DemicleasTTV says “Q MAX DO NOT GO WARMOGS BEWARE his early has lots of poke, after first back he doesnt matter anymore and is a gnat, push and play for poke + plates. He should never be able to kill you if you play somewhat safe BEWARE WHEN FORCING PLATES HE MIGHT ULT THE WAVE”

Saneryus says “Pseudocounter Many people think malphite counters kayle but they just don't know how to go about the MU. I've NEVER lost a malphie MU once I knew how to play against. This is a MU where you look to just scale to level 11 and autowin. How to get to 11 against malph? It's simple and I will explain. What is malph's gameplan? He max Q and just spam Q's you inlane until you're low enough for him to ult and kill you. It's a really straightforward playstyle which you can easily counter. For new players, I recommend the ULTA-GIGA-BICHBOI fleet page as this will help you with any small / minor mistakes you might make. Once you're more experienced on how to go about this match up, Fleet into Celerity and GS because you don't need more than fleet. Make sure to have double HP scaling shards against malphite. Adaptive shard since you're not autoing malphite. Farm up against malphite and that's it. IF you are going to get Malphite Q'd, it has to be for a reason. Either for a CS (preferably canon) or damaging him. Don't let him Q you for free, it has to be for a reason. Rush Gunblade 1st item against malphite and you will have enough sustain in lane so he can never threaten you. DShield. Barrier/TP or Flash/TP. I personally go barrier/TP because this makes it virtually impossible for him to dive or kill you ever. Fleet Poke (adaptive into double HP scaling). ”
PokeRoyal2007 says “Just like Poppy but way more STUPID. He doesn´t really have to do anything, unless you get a gank that leads to an early kill, it´s unplayable. One of my three bans. ”

Claude Rains says “Pre 8 you dominate him, regardless if he goes AD or AP. Make sure you get small resistances that he can't just R and run you down after 6 when youre pushing. Besides that he will lose the all in, sustain (AP) is your friend.”

Tips Against Malphite in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Augstlol says “DODGE HIS ULT with e then you good . he is an ult bot avoid grouping in tf”
EZREAL JUNGLE 1V9 by Augstlol | Ezreal Player
L0ganJG says “Malphite is pretty weak in jungle. He only really ganks by walking up to your team or ultimate. Ultimate has a long cooldown and walking into a gank isn't very good. Look to kill him with your team during your Q debuff or just ignore him. His attack speed slow can mess with your animations at times though, be aware of it so you don't cancel autos. ”
PeteMKT says “Você escolheu errado, kindred contra Malphite, ele foi feito para lutar contra personagens AD, ele construí muita armadura, seu dano e focado nisso. Fazer item de penetração na frente do gume ”
Build diferente para os kindred by PeteMKT | Kindred Player
heybeyoo says “You only can kill malphite before he buys steelcaps and sunfire later on you cant do anything and you will die on one ultimate. Even if you jump on someone else he can ult you and peel them - thats the best you can do for your team.”

Amothertruckingunicorn says “Unstoppable ult but Malphite by natures gets nuked by your plants+liandry”
Zyra Jungle 16.4 by Amothertruckingunicorn | Zyra Player
Hazardist says “[[malphite]] is another tank matchup where you may struggle to deal with him alone given his [[Crowd Control]] and mobility, but he's also unlikely to shut you down due to his lack of damage or durability depending on his build. Don't use [[realm of death]] on him if he's already engaged with [[unstoppable force]], as he would already have spent his most important cooldowns outside of it anyway.”
MiniBlue says “Rock Solid. He'll win you if you don't know how to deal with his engages and ambushes.”
MiniBlue says “La piedra va dura si lo juega perfecto, te ganara si no sabes lidiar sus iniciaciones y emboscadas.”
ludenbergangel says “Can be extremely tanky, extremely bursty or both at the same time. He can just run away with Q and his R is devastating. If he has no R hes kind of a walking melee minion. If he's going to R you, you can react with E to soften the blow. Focus his carries and avoid landing R on him”
ZeriZeriZeri says “Malphite is a permanent ban. He heavily reduces Zeri’s damage and attack speed, drastically lowering her impact in teamfights. His engage and crowd control make it extremely difficult to play fights safely, and once he reaches key levels, he completely shuts down Zeri’s strengths. Overall, Malphite removes too much value from Zeri to be worth playing against.”
