Safest pick
Which champion is currently the safest pick in the game ?
I'd say Malphite. No matter what you do in lane, there will be one button pressed later and we all know what happens. And also, if you max E, you can just wait for enemy to push the minions into your tower, and farm decently without risking anything.

.
when there are abilities like spell shield and black shield that can render his grab pretty much useless and then he's been countered to the point where he wouldn't be the safest pick IMO. Probably the safest pick IMO is
given that he has enough mobility to do almost anything he wants and get away with it with very little counterplay unless he messes up.
