Can Malphite be given the Garen treatment?

His passive is impossible to regenerate if just one minion/monster attacks him. Can't he have it immune from interruption from minions and monsters at a certain level like Garen? Thanks

Are you going to nerf him in exchange? Malphite is already really, really good.

Malphite is broken as hell atm why would you want him buffed

No tank is broken when we have little shits like Fiora running around going "lol I shredded you what's armor?"

Kitten of EvilOct 13, 20151 votes

Malph is actually very strong against Fiora. His 10% of max HP shield is good to shrug off a couple Vitals procs.

MelledoneusOct 13, 20151 votes

Too bad Fiora can pop several vitals if you even try to farm. Omce she gets AD, your armor doesn't matter because true damage is her middle name. And nobody can duel her late game if you're melee. Thank goodness her ultimate is getting nerfed, but she's going to remain being a thorn in the side of tanks forever.

Isn't she dps?

If so then that's supposed to happen. DPS counters tanks.

You know who doesn't shit on tanks? Riven.

An AD burst instead of dps. That's why tanks are good against Riven, and not against Fiora.

RalanrOct 14, 20151 votes

Yeah, cause tanks counter burst while DPS counters tanks.

IcyPepperOct 14, 20151 votes

Exactly! With some exceptions, of course, for any match-up.

RalanrOct 14, 20151 votes

Yeah. Rock Paper Scissors doesn't always work, but it does for the most part.

I never said that Fiora was unkillable and won every game. I just mentioned that she shreds harder than the Shredder himself.

Maybe also max hp true damage

Flying Bok ChoyOct 13, 20152 votes

Yeh, Let's give everyone the Garen treatment. Malphite's ult should do true damage if you hit one person. Also his E should do max health true damage.

I would love to agree on that change but nooo don't touch Malphite, don't breathe on Malphite, don't even directly look in Malphite's direction. Him and Amumu are huddling in a corner hugging each other for comfort, and scared to death. They're trying to avoid Riot's death-to-tanks nerfs, and giving, nay, asking for buffs will only draw that attention.

Edit: spelling

Everyone who mains a champion is afraid of buffing them. I know the feeling -- my Anivia is huddled in the corner with them.

Ironically I don't main them though I kinda should. I'm suffering from the after effects of Sion and Sejuani nerfs. Played em pre-cinderhulk. It's so sad to see these huddled champs and become more afraid of buffs than happy.

Kitten of EvilOct 13, 20151 votes

I agree with that. I played Sej as my go-to jungler before and right after Cinderhulk. I'm scared about Lux now that they gave her a couple minor buffs.

Sentinel947Oct 13, 20151 votes

Anytime I see Anivia in the LCS, I'm terrified they'll give her the nerf bat.

BârdOct 14, 20152 votes

I do not have to deal with that, because once someone says "wtf riot nerf Bard" they immediately think "wait wtf did I just say?"

Kitten of EvilOct 14, 20151 votes

I also main Bard! Partially for that reason, partially because double Q stuns are incredibly satisfying, and partially because I like chime-hunting journeys and the pretty music.

But yes, generally my mains are seen as pretty balanced (except Tahm Kench, whom everyone suddenly realizes is a bit broken). Anivia's probably the closest to "too strong" because of how easy it is to proc her R+E combo, but nobody ever complains about Vel'Koz or Bard being too powerful.

Ser GarlandOct 13, 20151 votes

I was already under the impression that it was. Maybe its because Malphite's entire kit doesn't draw minion aggro. But Garen's does.

Joe DreddOct 13, 20151 votes

pls no mal buffs for christ sake

Kitten of EvilOct 13, 20151 votes

I read the title and thought you were going to ask for % true damage on Malph's Q.

JustMyBassCannonOct 13, 20151 votes

Doesn't it already get a shorter cooldown at higher levels?

YaskamasandwichOct 13, 20151 votes

I hope Anivia and Lux are not nerfed because of LCS, tis be a sad day indeed. Some champs need be toned down, but not because LCS or Worlds showed that.
