Buff minion damage/aggro?

Heaven forbid you try to play a champion that usually requires more passive play early like Malphite . Overall game feels ridiculously forgiving to early-game champs. Meaning any attempts to farm pretty much will guarantee a loss of 50% of your hp while they take like 10% of their hp in return for the trade, even if they walk into your minion wave for a moment. It's way too easy to get zoned in this game for a long time while you're forced to sit there and watch unless your jungler actually decides to punish them (almost never happens in any elo below diamond at least from experience.)

I actually use tanks to punish assassin picks all the time in mid lane. I see a Katarina locked in and I do not feel like playing a mage into her or one of my mains, I lock in Mundo and wreck her face in lane. Literally. Solo kills, out-farming her, etc.

Just pick your fights, make sure she takes plenty of minion damage from early trades, go defensive in build, etc.

Obviously, I do not know what matchup you are talking about with Malphite and I do not play much of him myself. Vayne, for example, there is no real answer to. But, you can definitely use tanks to punish certain playstyles.
