Nerf Malphite R

There is absolutely no reason why every time I come back alive as an ADC, that Malphite can 1-shot me using his Ult and then his "smash" (whatever ability that Is).

Absolutely no way to avoid it. Can't cast my ult during it. Ridiculous. I know it's his ult but it almost feels like an abused situation when it leads to a 1-shot if it lands. I can't think of any other skills that when they land lead to no way of getting out? Even Amumu has an incredibly strong ult but it doesn't insta-kill you. Fiddlesticks as well.

I am seeing a repeated number of Malphite's doing this in games now. Nerf it.

Honestly he needs a rework. He needs less power on his ult and more power distributed across the rest of his kit. He is outdated.

It's a skillshot that's really easy to dodge. Play Xayah, keep an eye on him, and ult immediately when you see him start dashing at you. Or flash to the side. Or dash away. Literally anything. It targets a small circle and knocks up everything in that area.

Looking at your op.gg, you seem to be a Kai'Sa player who rushes attack speed instead of getting Stormrazor first, causing you to deal no damage in the early game. You also start Doran's Shield, even though that's a really bad item to start on an ADC unless you're terrified to death of your lane opponent repeat killing you, which you never should be if you're on your main champion and know what you're doing.

Here's a thing you can do: mark Malphite with your passive, and then when he ults, ult ANYWHERE in his range and I guarantee you his targeting will push him past your repositioning from your ult and he'll miss. It has a small range, only hits the circle and not the path along it, and it's literally his entire champion. If he's building full AP and you're dying to him, which would explain the 1-shot, I really don't feel sorry for you considering that you play one of the single best ADC's in the game at countering him and still fail to. You clearly don't understand the game at all.

I just had an AD Malph on my team and once again, broken. Almost the same score as the AP Malph that caused me to write this in the first place. And a lot of his issue (in this case his success....) came from his OP Ult.

Malphite is far from being overpowered. He is one of the old simplistic champions out there. His ult is almost the entire champion. Compared to any more recent champion, his kit got nothing. The descriptions for abilities nowadays are literally paragraphs long...

You can keep your flash for his ult or play a dash champion or even a champion with some kind of invulnerability, like fizz, xayah, sivir, etc. There a lot of counters. You could also play sylas and a better version of him...

item 1054 is a good start on Corki as he needs some sort of survivability in mid.
