Why is Malphite actually impossible to play against as an ADC?

He's designed to counter AD, like how Galio & Kassadin were made to counter mages. He still needs a rework at some point, he's been clobbering people since 2009 & his kit seems relatively the same since then (aside from his Brutal Strikes, that ability looks like it functioned WAY Differently compared to modern day).

Armor Penetration & Magic Damage are his weaknesses, assuming he's building Malphite like an actual tank & not an AP Powerhouse.

Because any other tank is impossible to be played against ADCs

Literally one of the easiest champions to kite in the game, he has BAD mana problems and his only way to get to you without ult his throwing his Q at you at which point he still has to run up to you, thankfully not being some cancerous dash like most champs these days.

I beat malphite in battle by attacking then running away a couple steps then attacking again. I just keep doing it until he crumbles. Not so rock solid!

When there's a feed Malphite dont think about him like a tank, treat him like you would treat a feed Zed because he can one shot you.

Because there are a million ways to do true damage these days

Sorry - my complaint is more of the fact that AP Malpshite can essentially faceroll the keyboard and oneshot you unless you have flash, and even then, he can just build a thornmail and you STILL can't do anything about it.

i literally just ran against an AP malph in aram, honestly i prefer going vs his tank build, as hes naturally tankyish.

learn how to kite and dodge his skills and save your flash/escapes for you know, him ramming you, also - if you know hes about to dash duck behind minions not sure if thisll work as i havent read his skills but if its like other champs it should buffer
