Some depressing stats about Malphite

MOuHahaHAhahaaaa··4 votes·4,658 views

I play malphite since season 2 and i have 500k mastery points on him. That doesn't necessarly make me a good player however i'm experienced enough to know what my champion has been in the past and what he is know.

I'm able to compare his old state to his actual state pretty easily and since his mini rework the character struggles a lot in the top lane.

After seing the new PBE changes live it seems that it won't change a lot concerning the laning phase.

Here are some depressing rock solid stats

Malphites loses its lane against 40 top laner champions.

Malphite only wins its lane against 11 top laner champions.

https://blitz.gg/lol/champions/Malphite

which makes him win it's lane only against 21.57% champions in the top lane.

Don't tell me that there isn't a problem.

He is in a desesperate need for a rework or just revert the old changes you made to him in his last mini rework when you removed the tiamat passive to make it an active and removed and the ad scaling on the w (yes he had a 40% ad scaling buff).

Combining his old tiamat passive and the old ad scaling buff with the titanic hydra would help a lot malphite. Yes the old malphite had a permanant tiamat passive which could cumulate with the tiamat object passive. You could proc the tiamat effect 2x per hit. And malphite kit has been build around this mechanic. That's what made him a respectfull top laner. You combined this with some armor and there you go. Removing his old tiamat passive was the worst decision riot made with the character.

the new changes in the PBE will help but it won't be suficient for him to have a decent top lane winning rate...

His actual kit won't allow him to duel properly except if you revert the changes you made to his w in the past.

That's the only efficient solution you could find waiting for the rework.

Tanks are not supposed to win lane so this metric is not relevant. Malphite has one of the strongest team fight ultimates in the game.

Moundo is still able to win its lane, Ornn, Sion too why malphite couldn't do it ? each champion which is a toplaner should be able to trade fairly and to win its lane. Malphite is in a state where in most of the cases he cannot duel without getting destroyed in lane.

Sion isn't nearly as useful late game and none of them have the sheer reliability that Malphite has

Who is losing to Ornn in lane these days?

MMMM no. Why do people start asking for reworks the moment a champion isn't meta? Malphite is an easy to play tank champion that scales of armor. He's pretty unique and fun, and not every champion needs to have deep yasuo - level mechanics. He obviously doesn't do very well in lane considering his mana costs, and outside of lane he's unable to function properly because of the dominance of vayne and kaisai. The meta just doesn't suit him right now, but he's a perfectly viable top laner, and buffing him is just asking for a repeat of a galio situation.

I have been playing malphite since season 2 i have 500k mastery points on him. I think i can compare my champion before the season 6 changes to his actual state... He was way stronger in lane before his first mini rework...

He probably was.. but that's not what I'm saying. There's a 90% chance riot is going to fuck up his balance if they buff him in any way. If you look to the past every champion that's like malphite (low play rate/mediocre winrate) riot has tried to buff, they over buff and then they overnerf the champion, and the champion ends up worse than when it started out... Riot just "give up" on low popularity champions, and unfortunately malphite belongs to that club.

To summarize, no matter what changes riot makes to malphite, they will probably fuck him up and he will end up in a shittier state than he was before they started making changes, so you should just pray riot doesn't touch malphite.

He’s getting some changes on PBE. Although it’s not a rework, it’s definitely something.

Malphite is a lose lane win game champion. He will always have one of the most game changing team fight ultimates in League.

They were losing lane because they're meta slaves who didn't take Klepto, like a Big Brain toplane genius such as myself. Statistical-data doesn't mean jack for a champion barely anybody plays on a regular basis.

Dont bother mate. Riot hates tanks. Riot doesnt want tanks to be able to win lane even if they play it right because of their "teamfight" presence.
