Tips Against Malphite in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Frankoloko says “Easy match-up. Malphite counters AD champions, not AP champions. You beat him at every stage of the game. Farm and poke until level 3. Start going for big trades level 3 onward, you win these insanely hard, as long as you hit your abilities. Level 6 he is just a free kill as he can't really use his ult to escape and there's basically no way for him to beat you, he simply lacks the dps at that point. In team fights it can sometimes be game-changing to ult him so he cannot ult your team, obviously though make sure he actually has ult up, and if he already ulted, he is pretty much useless in a team fight, so ult someone else if there are better targets.”

Sc00n3z says “Malphite's armor stacking and passive shield (Granite Shield) reduce the effectiveness of Illaoi's physical damage. His crowd control (Ground Slam and Unstoppable Force) can interrupt Illaoi's abilities and lockdown her in fights.”

smrgol says “It's an armored rock that can knock you up instantly idk what to tell you try to swap with mid or predict his ult, flash and punish. ”

Zagreus16 says “better to take grasp here so you can sustain his Q poke but you can go conq and trade him easily if you can keep landing your E on him. Rushing black Cleaver is a must for him”

CrimsonL7 says “He just beats you to death, you will never have the damage to kill him lol. Just farm and try to scale for team fights. (You can kill him pre first back but after that its rough) ”

step1v9 says “Permaban. Seriously just permaban. Even the worst player can counter you. Don't take grasp into it. I don't care what build Timmy in silver tells you to go just permaban it.”

Lukenzoo says “He runs out of mana pretty quickly but be careful of his lvl 6 ”
Lukenzoo's Yorick guide by Lukenzoo | Yorick Player
LDaL says “Problematic matchup because of his passive and w( both grant him shield and armor). Can go tank and ap. If tank - you can try to kill him before 6 and first defensive item. After that you need bork at least. The only dangerous from him in teamfights is his ult, he can easily engage. Just ignore him and focus enemies carry( he doesn't deal much dmg). IF he going for your carry, try to protect him after his ult by using w in front ranged champ and focus him. Ap more dangerous but easier to kill. If he get 2-3 items, very likely he will one shot(if you doesn't have any magic resist items) or your carry with his full combo. So try to time your tornado after he ult so you can ult himright after. Get core item and you destroy him.”

Raideru says “Let him q you on the first two levels all the time to waste his mana and also poke him with q, after lvl 3 look to hook him in when he throws q and short trade him or all in him depending on your hp, he can't really do much to you because you just outsustain his q poke and you win most trades, Wave will be on your side most of the time because of his q agroing the minions so ask for ganks or run him down if he dares to q you while he's deep in lane”

Azzin says “If he goes AP just buy banshee's 2nd and you'll never die, otherwise play this like any tank matchup, push => proxy => invade/roam”

Tips Against Malphite in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Demonsedge90 says “It's easy to poke Malphite at a safe distance (before he reaches level 6) while he farms in lane, just be mindful he will poke you down with seismic shard whenever he has it off cooldown. Though should he begin to walk up too close, knocking him back with scatter the weak combo can help. Once he gets unstoppable force you have to be mindful that at any moment you could be knocked in the air and rendered powerless to fight back. Once that threat has diminished be sure to watch out for ganks since Malphite's gank setup with junglers is very strong. For counter play just poke him safely and coordinate with your team to stop him.”

GreenReapers says “Take First Strike or conqueror. D-shield for his Q+Comet poke. He outdamages, outpushs and outtanks you at the same time. Stay safe. If possible get the Junglers help. Might be worth to sacrifice waves for a good roam. Generally when playing against tanks, you have to think of them as walking piggy banks and play with the gold advantage you get from first strike and staying safe (-Onzed).”

TwTv Akai_Tv says “[PTA] Malphite is really hard to play against as he just stacks armor and pressures you alot by being able to ult you anytime. If you play vs Malphite in lane take PTA and take E lvl 1, Malphite will look to Q you to proc comet, when he does this you AA him and E in right away to proc your shield + PTA + avoid comet for a really good trade. Malphite is not that tanky before his first base but be careful after he has his first armor items.”

sick204 says “Respect Malphite's tankiness and engage potential with his abilities, especially his Q and R. Use Yasuo's E to dodge Malphite's abilities and minimize damage taken. Be cautious of Malphite's passive, which grants him a shield that absorbs damage and regenerates over time. Utilize W to block Malphite's Q in trades and team fights to reduce his engage potential. Engage on Malphite when his ultimate is on cooldown or when he's low on mana, as he can be vulnerable during these times. Consider building items like Blade of the Ruined King or Mortal Reminder to deal with Malphite's armor stacking.”

Foxirion says “Malph’s ability to engage and disrupt the enemy team can be a major threat to Swain, as it can disrupt his positioning in fights.”

Laimaudeja says “[I would use the First Strike page in this lane, with the Precision path, and start Amplifying Tome.] Malphite is pretty hard to poke out due to his passive, Doran's Shield and Second Wind. Try to get as much gold from him as you can using First Strike, and try to maintain dominance over the wave so he's unable to roam with his ultimate.”

Enderspider says “People like to counterpick this into naafiri for some reason, but not actually as big of a counterpick as it seems. You can't really kill him but he can't kill you either. The thing is, you kill his team much more effectively than he kills yours so realistically not that big of a threat. Simply farm up and stay alive and you will win out. This applies to most other tanks too, dont be affraid to pick naafiri into a tank because it simply means you get a farm lane.”
