How Many Skills Counter/Stop Malphite's Ultimate?

Matsokune·2/27/2016, 2:13:37 PM·1 votes·5,115 views

Despite his ultimate being known as the unstoppable force, I've wondered just how many of Legend Legume's abilities do something to prevent Malphite's ultimate. So, for curiosity's sake, I've turned to you all, the community! Help me, the lowly bronze Malphite main, better myself as a player and learn the true immovable objects that stop the unstoppable! I'll update this every so often with a list of all the abilities.

I know I'm asking a lot, why would anyone help a Malphite main be a better Malphite? But I ask from the bottom of my heart. Okay maybe not the bottom, but close enough to it!

if you are talking about countering his ult by stopping it, then the number of champions that can do this are 0, unless he only hits one person than Olaf Morgana can do something about it.

Other wise, Janna is great to dissengage teamfight initiation but she has to wait for him to end his dash or he will be immune to her knock back.

If you are able to kill malphite with abilities or autoattack(ranged champ) before he finish ult animation then i am pretty sure it will cancel his ult.

You can't stop Malphite's ultimate. Dash/movement abilities aside, champions with skils that can avoid the knockup are mostly those than can become untargetable or immune to CC: Ekko Elise Fiora Fizz Kalista Lissandra MasterYi Morgana Nocturne Olaf Sivir Vladimir Zed

I probably missed a couple, also take note that it's pretty easy for champions like Ahri to dodge a Malph ult if they're expecting it.

The champions who can outright stop his ultimate are zero, but the ones who can negate the damage AND cc are above me.

He missed: bard, maokai, aatrox, kindred...any more???

Terrain-like skills I think cans top him.

Trundle Pillar falls under that category (Probably Anivia's wall too), I don't know about Azir's soldiers-wall though.

None. It's unstoppable.

Only Bard, who can put his whole team in Zhonyas. Theoretically, anyway, since Malphite's ultimate has a shorter travel time and Bard would have to anticipate the ultimate, Malphite would have to ignore it going down and still Ult.

There is a trait which is called "immune to cc". This trait is bound to certain characters abilities and it literally means they can't be hit with cc until the action which is ItCC is over. Some characters are Malphite (for the entirety of his ult), Vi ( For the portion of her ult until she reaches the target (when in the air she can be ccd), and Nocturne. Similar to this there are some ItCC channels that occur when certain mages cast ultimates. These channels usually last something like 0.25-0.5 s and are identical to the above champions except they aren't moving when casting it. A good example would be Nami or Thresh.
