It takes 10 seconds on the first few levels. Then, even at 6, I hate having to wait 10 seconds of being out of battle to try and gain back the small (yet useful) shield, that goes away within seconds.
UberAffe4 votesThe amount of time it takes for the shield to come up might need some tweaking but avoiding minion agro and damage is large part of the early game in particular so in my opinion the passive SHOULD still be affected by minion damage. However, I could see a change similar to garen's passive : "At Level 11 or above, damage from non-epic monsters will no longer stop Perseverance." reworded so that the timer isn't reset except when damaged by champions or epic monsters
Rew7111 votesi say it should be early and beyond. as someone who likes how early makes the biggest difference in a game (setting the stage for mid to late game) malphites passive should, yes, be like garens. its annoying to go around trying to avoid every small hit while garen can take the hits and gain a passive that gives him back health.
Dryditch1 votesYou shouldn't be taking hits from minions early game anyway. You really only need that regen when you're facing a champion anyway, and minions don't aggro for all that long.
Talamare1 votesI agree
or even make it so that it recharges after X seconds regardless of taking damage
rG Thundrag1 votesThey could make it that if malphite takes X amount of damage from minions from within a time frame then it goes on CD so he can't just facetank waves near his tower while still being an overall buff
