Any reason to pick malphite over gnar?
Title.
If you compare both kits, gnar has a better lane phase and has a god like late game with MORE CC than malphite, that becomes a walking ult. 1- No mana. 2- When transformed, mega gnar has similar stats as maplhite (armor, MR, hp..), plus the bonus base health acts like malphite shield. 3- Gnar Q is a wave clear with low CD with 1000 range, vs 600 Q malphite. Add up to that the Q aoe slow/damage from mega gnar. MAlphite gets some move speed (gnar get more than that with his R passive in gnar form). 4- With 2 skills gnar can emulate malhite Q (gnar , with way shorter cooldown - 12s and 7 Vs Mlaphite 100s), and he still have his R for more slow, displacemente, and stun. 5- Ranged.Dealing max health damage. So he can shred tanks in lane and as mega gnar, burst any squishies or the low tank that got shredded while in gnar form. He can farm easily spamming skills and autoing. Malph goes OOM and is melee. With a sorter range than mega gnar. 6- Scales HARD with ult, turning into a kiting machine. 7- Gnar kit is synergic.You can build aspd and tank and still dish out damage. MAlphite can scale with... armor, HP, but his W deals bonus physical damage.... in a burst champion? That should be built as an AP tank? Go ... nashors? It is really so much expensive having a 100 cd aoe knock up?
Sure, malphite gets some more armor and some aspd debuff. But is it worth his lane phase?
