What do you actually do against a fed AP Malphite?

Chalze··1 votes·1,865 views

Especially when he got fed off other lanes/roles and you're playing someone either without mobility or without 'enough' mobility to dodge his ult?

And waiting for him to use it on someone else doesn't really make up for it since you ARE the priority target

Flash his ult and then kill him

If that's not enough then he has a lead and deserves to win anyway. Why does he have a lead in the first place? That's the real question

Ask my teammates. That's why I specifically say he has a lead by other lanes/roles.

So the main thing is to save flash, make sure the supp is warding

Late game stay away from team mates, especially squishy ones, if he ults at you, flash it, ping to attack him

You need to save flash even if it means you die sometimes because you can forego the opportunity to flash later on in a big objective team fight and win the game

My supp's ego was so fragile that after dying twice she started to save her RQ to take my CS (she was playing Karma) so warding was pretty much out of the question

Some certain losses are just a part of climbing, you will get certain wins too where you get carried or the enemy team feeds you/griefs their own team

Focus on games where you can make a difference, not these certain losses

For those recommending Zhonyas+Flash, I can only flash once every 5 or so minutes, and as for Zhonyas, I was the ADC.

Keep your distance from your team, don't let him ult anyone else while he kills you, then your team turns and hopefully wins the fight.

Keep your distance from Malph, make him work for the ult

If you're anything other than a tank/Juggernaut - nothing, dodge his ult with zhonyas/flash is my only advice.

Zhonyas blocks his entire burst with good timing because if AP Malphite players think their ult will hit they usually unload all their other abilities as well.

Banshees doesn't work as well but if forces him to change around his combo and at least gives you some warning that he's looking to hit you

If your adc death dance plus hexdrinker or phantom dancer throw in clever or mallet u can preety much live anything.

Maw/Phantom dancer + GA/bloodthirster. Support can build knight's vow and/or locket to drastically reduce the upfront burst. Any combination of 2 defensive items pretty much makes you immune to being one shot though (or lets you revive in the case of GA). Full build would look something like this,

Dont stack. He is only useful for the duration of his combo. After that he drops faster than a rock in a pond.

If you are the carry, there are some anti burst items that will help.

You probably die. But that isn't any different from other champions who get fed. Ideally, he is not allowed to reach that point in the first place.

I'm just concerned that there's such a scaling (100% AP) on such an ability. It's one of the hardest things to dodge, and you dodging it entirely depends on things that either only come around every so often compared to a maximum of 130 seconds such as Flash or items that only synergize with half the champions such as Zhonyas or your champion having an ability that can dodge/negate it such as free-directional dashes, untargetables, spellshields etc. So many champions don't have any of the following and is punished with absolute death.
