malphite could use a new q

Critmaster Garen··2 votes·366 views

its boring.

i mean the movement speed steal is ok ish to stick to a target, but otherwise the mana costs are so high and the damage so low that its barely even there.

what if it could get an armor scaling and turned into a skillshot that damages and slows every unit it hits? and while the shard is rolling, it could be steered similar to how sions ult can be steered.

or malphite himself curls up into a ball and rolls a fixed distance (also skillshot) and slows and damages every opponent hes rolling over. with max health or armor scaling damage.

or maybe it could just have something that interacts with the rest of his kit. for example the damage it deals is increased by the same % as the attack speed slow % that currently affects the target it hits.

just spitballing here.

NO! You'll ruin my best support champion! Rly, Malph has no gapcloser other than ult. He needs his Q.

its not like i want them to remove it without giving him something else.

he needs something that interacts better with the rest of his kit imo. or at least in a more interesting way.

Changing his Q to a roll just makes him like rammus, and both of them are already the go to champs with full ad opponents. making it into a skillshot would criple him, cause if he misses, he has no speed steal, and his Q is his initiation pre 6, plus making it into a skillshot makes secured targeted kills into "you missed, i lived, you suck bro" as for damage, hes a tank.. hes not supposed to be mega damaging, he already has way to much damage to begin with, ( i love him for that <3), and his Q isnt his main damage spell, his E is. making the Q hit harder makes him even more anoying to kill.

for example, if the enemy picks fiora, i pick malph. Why? because she has to get in my face, my E makes her AS lower, and since im tanky, i get a thrnmail and a raduins, and there goes her damage, i win my lane. and since he has a pretty good(in my opinion) ap scaling, he can outdamage most top lane champs.

hey, its just 1 idea. if you have a better one, im all ears.

the roll skillshot wouldnt be the same as rammus though, as it would basically be a standart skillshot, while rammus roll is an ms increase. it would only be similar in theme.

look, im not saying his q is bad. it just feels like the most uninteresting part of his kit and would be better if it had more interaction with the rest of his abilities.

a % damage increase equal to the attack speed slow would make a e + q comb pretty cool for example and the damage portion actually noticable.

it just feels like it could use a slight change to be more interactive and give it an hp or armor scaling to work better with the rest of his kit.

Just a question, do you play malph a lot or do you base this on visual play? Cause the Q is (in my opinion) a Necesity in his kit, malph is one of the slowest champs in the game. and hit Q Speed Steal (thats what i call it, fix if it has official name :). ) makes him either stick to champs, or get a burst escape from champs, add in some item 1330 enchantment, and hes actually a non escapable fighter. i DO see your point of view, but its unnecessary (in my opinion) but if others like it, then its good to them.

you're not forced to delete the ms steal, but you can give him something else. What if he crates a dorsale that slows and block for 2 seconds?? he should manipulte the earth.
