Malphite Quality of life buffs please?

Astral Duck·Jun 17, 2014·1 votes·170 views

So I'll start this off by saying, I don't play a whole lot of malphite, I wish I did play more of him but he feels so weak in lane but I get why, he has a huge knockup, as debuff, ms debuff but maybe we could just give him a quality of life buff, make it so minons don't stop his passive. "But won't that make him OP?", possibly but we'll never know unless we try right? If you think having his sheild regen going on through minions attacking him makes him op, make it scale. IE - 5% -> 7.5% -> 10%, would love some feedback on this.

Honestly, Malphite is not anywhere near as bad off as this is making him sound. He has clear disadvantages in lane which are offset by the fact that he is next to unstoppable in the mid to late game. He really doesn't need a buff in any manner, especially with the incoming item changes that will make Doran Blade buying lane bullies slightly less powerful in top lane. Besides, not every champion can be great in lane, otherwise there isn't any depth to the game. If you play smart in lane and conserve your mana for actually "need to use" cases, you'll do just fine, and can even win lane against lesser experienced players or those that don't play against Malphite frequently.

As opposed to an ice cold one?

Don't be offensive to others for no reason. Otherwise, you should leave the Community Beta Forums.

Also, it's spelled you're*

Again, insulting people on a public forum for no reason.

the one thing malph would need is a buff to his manaproblems...he just gets outsustained by every popular toplaner.

Thing is, that item is not good on Malphite...

People have said that about every champ, never mind that it would free him up to build Thornmail over FH and save 700 gold,

Why would an Armor tank build Essence Reaver? Especially after his mana cost buffs.

Because my original post was in response to the guy saying Malphite needs mana? so i pointed out a nifty work around, that lets him by other stuff for cheaper, and he still auto attacks allot,

Look, if you're just going to downvote whatever I say then there's no sense in discussing any further.
