Let's talk about The OLD rock Malphite

Hello Guys let's talk about Malphite and how he has changed since his creation.

As a malphite main i really hope that riot will hear some of my thoughts and take it in consideration for every malphite player.

So malphite is one of the first league of legends Characters and he is very unique in the aspect that he is one of the rare champions that hasn't changed a lot since it's creation.

We can see malphite as the cornerstone of LOL's symbology ( Yeah ground slam and riot's logo) :

The most significative change in his kit was the removal of the permanent AOE damage by his autos confered with Brutal Strikes. If you didn't know back then you could stack your passive and Hydra's passive. Building full ad malphite was very strong in the late game and clearly unbalanced.

In late you could 3 shot turrets and if you ulted a packed team, you could one shot the opponent adc while puting the ennemy team squishies at 20% of their heath (with 2 autos).

When you used Brutal Strikes you had a buff of 40% AD and 40% armor.

The change they made was nice in the way they made the 40% armor active into a passive. Finally, they made the AOE from the autos an active.

However they never changed malphite auto's hitbox. This hitbox was designed to work with the auto's AOE damage. With old malphite you could hit a random minion to kill the other minion at the end of the lane. Because of this they made a very tiny hitbox.

If you already played malphite a certain number of times you certainly felt like you have to stuck close to a minion to auto him. I own and played every character in the game and i think he has the tiniest auto hitbox in the game. Yeah we can consider you could farm with Ground slam or Brutal Strikes. However malphite uses a lot of mana... And if you do so you'll end OOM after the 3rd wave... The fact that you have to be very close to the minion to auto them it ends a lot with minion blocks and free damage for the opponent...

So if riot could see a way to improve this hitbox issue it would be nice.

Let's talk about the appearance of malphite now.

Comon riot there are still people thinking that malphite head is its nose x)...

You made a great Splash Artwork but you didn't finish the job. I really hope you'll make a visual rework of This rock. His classical appearance seems very outdated

If you do rework some abilities please give us tools to be able to stand against Vlad, Darius, Rumble and Ornn without being slaughtered.

I really hope that you'll at least consider the visual aspect of the character...
