Malphite Q need to deal low damage and have mana cost so he cant spam it!!

Giggling Granny··7 votes·1,631 views

MAGIC DAMAGE: 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+ 40% AP) ARGET RANGE: 600 EFFECT RADIUS: 300 COST: 50 MANA COOLDOWN: 8 / 7.25 / 6.5 / 5.75 / 5

MAGIC DAMAGE: 70 / 120 / 170 / 220 / 270 (+ 60% AP) ARGET RANGE: 625 COST: 70 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 MANA COOLDOWN: 8

So Maokai can spam 250 magic damage every 5 seconds for 50 mana in 600 AOE range and slow the ENEMIES

But Malphite is OP that he CANT spam his Q because 90 mana cost every 8 seconds in SINGLE TARGET and slow the ENEMY

But maokai is tottally balanced right? because its a "skillshot" in lane? 600 range skillshot in lane with 300AOE its literally a target ability and you can clear waves and hit the target you want without any effort...

But you know Maokai is an LCS material and Malphite is not so that why riot thinking gutting the Q damage of malphite to 180..nerf the slow increase the CD nerf the slow durration...

I am just sick of how stupid the balance team is,...and yeah i am salty...when this game have Maokai/Cho/Gnar in top lane and riot refuse to do something and let other tanks suffers because they are not LCS material i am sick!! and no i dont have tanks to be OP i want THIS 3 TANKS to be nerfed to other tanks TO BE PLAYED and no gnar is a very obnoxious champion among with cho and Maokai...champions that have so much damage on top of tankiness on top of SPAMMING abilities ITS NOT BALANCED what the point to play any other tank when you can pick Maokai and spam clear waves and be tank? what the point to pick any other Bruiser when you can pick Cho and outdamage everyone by building str8 up tank without even being punished? what the point?

BALANCE YOUR GAME RIOT and not AROUND LCS around SOLOQ if you think tha the 100 players in LCS make you money and not the 60 million regural players that play the game then you are very wrong...and if you havent notice N.A lcs was having 400-500k views everytime was a good match or 200-300 if it was some lcs boring NA teams

NOW even in matches as CLG or C9 or TSM against each other only have max 150K views...and i am not gonna even talk about E.U lcs...90k MAX at the best

THIS MEAN SOMETHING this team that people are bored to WATCH a game that they see A maokai vs Galio top lane janna and thresh vs Add the current broken adc in bot lane Gragas or J4 full tank in the jg building KNight vow and syndra vs orianna in mid lane...

Edit: because people want to use the argument "its skillshot" maokai have 400 mana pool lvl 1 while Malphite have 280 and both have the same mana regen!!

WHICH MEAN maokai caN USE his Q 8 TIMES while Malphite can use his Q 4 times!! WHICH MEAN MAOKAI IS ABLE TO USE HIS Q 2X MORES so even if he lose 2-3 Q he will still OUT DAMAGE Malphite!!

Much complicated and much thinking on his kit right?

Yeah you can dodge it if maokai have 500 ping...other wise if you play any melee champion and you go to farm any minion HOW YOU CAN DODGE and AOE skill that have 600 range and goes through minions? the only way you can actually dodge it if they are both equal skill is to predict in a 1vs1 fight where he can throw it and you flash or dash it...otherwishe in LANE which i talk FOR LANE its 95% sure that you will hit the target...

Later one in game there are other stuff that goes in game......

the more simplistic champion is the weaker he will be

Why ? because riot tries to balance around every elo

Garen wouldnt see LCS play even with 60% winrate (he had 60% winrate after rework still saw no play)

Sadly they put malph in the same category

Dont expect to see some champs before rework. Also dont expect for simple champs to gain depth in a rework

Just dont play malph play viable tanks he is boring anyway

Because Galio and Maokai are so hard to play? and they are so complicated right? spam Q in lane spam Q--E in team fight Man so much advanced gameplay....

The problem is that this champions are just DOING what other tanks doing but BETTER they are not have complicated kit they are just BROKEN....

Because if Malphite was having max damage on his W 50 mana cost on his Q that spread in to 300 AOE his passive to give him shield on top of HEALTH without actually doing nothing just when the enemy use spells...then he would have been everywhere.....

But you see Malphite is balanced while Maokai was never been balanced since his rework in season 4

Correction: Maokai has never been balanced.

He was one of the best junglers in the game before his rework in seasons 1 and 2. Consistently. More consistently than Lee.

tbh good mechanical players dont play tanks except gragas and zac to an extent

Last time i see in LCS was Maokai/Gragas/Cho/Gnar

And why that? because they are broken and very easy to abuse~!

Generally, the reason those tanks are played is due to the damage being pumped out of bot and mid right now. Tanks are just the only way to go in a competitive atmosphere that is so centered around mid and bot doing 75-90% of the team's damage. If your front-line can't soak that damage while providing CC on the enemy frontline, you're in for a bad time.

The one thing that Cho provides that makes him desirable as a jungler is his secure for large objectives (dragon/baron), as well as his flash-ult pressure on the enemy backline. His CC is less than terrific compared to the other 3, but the utility he provides is enough for some teams to overlook that.

since season 2 in LCS matches whe see tanks...

And Gragas is in LCS isnce season 1...and riot dosent even bother GUT HIm and balance him already

And Maokai is in every world and LCS match...since they decide to make his Q 50 mana cost add max hp in to his kit and make him even more braindead that he was....

Kritty1 votes

Again, read my post - I said that those particular tanks are desirable because of what they offer. As long as Gragas has his bodyslam-flash-ult combo to CC someone to death, he'll be a preferred pick in the LCS. As long as Maokai offers his point-and-click W CC into a knockback (his Q), he'll be a preferred pick in the LCS.

Until those two combos are changed, you're likely to see them a lot - in the LCS, it's about who can control a teamfight (or, in some cases, who can split harder). Those two tanks you mentioned do that incredibly.

Nerfing malphite q damage will make him the worst laner in the game, the way to counter the q damage is lifesteal or pots. If malphite doesn't have that q harass what can he do to win lane?

Giggling Granny1 votes

The way to counter his Q is to wait to go OOM which happen after 2 Q....because Malphite have one of the lowest mana pools....on top of high mana costs,...

But you know RITO BALANCE

Mister Dark1 votes

I know how to lane against a malphite it's simple it's a balanced kit that's why I don't understand how someone can complain an ability that's so easy to understand and lane against unless they don't know how to play

Giggling Granny1 votes

Because people want to abuse Maokai and get LP....you can play Maokai spam Q in lane build tank and win lane and then move on to be a good tank for the team that has everything...wich would make you win games without even putting some effort...that why people cry about Malphite they only want simple BROKEN kits to be good

Kits that need some thinking and some management to be good are to complicated for this abusers

Mister Dark1 votes

And these are people who can't play the game with there skill and smarts, name a champion and I can say how to beat mao or malphite in lane

that why maokai lose lane only vs Gnar or champion that have Range? because any melee champion can hit from his Q unless maokai is from bronze and use his Q when his cursor in on the bot lane....

His Q have the same range as Malphite and its AOE...meaning that a 125 range champion that goes to farm he WOULD GET HIT by maokai Q and he will clear the wave and all that at the cost of 50 mana.....

And you telling me that its hard to hit from? sorry but this is just a lie..
