Malphite Has Some Changes

I'm intrigued.

I like the shift on Q from a high mana decent poke spell, making it less of a rush priority against certain comps, especially with the static slow between ranks. Although I'm usually more of a W max kinda Malphite player, so I'm perfectly fine with Q being less of a priority.

The change to W I find interesting, giving him reason to play better around his Granite Shield, and given that it scales with Health, which is then bolstered with resists, it would give him a reason to build tank over AP if he wants to make the most of Brutal Strikes.

Speaking of AP..has anyone else thought he could receive some other changes to base spells if his ult AP ratio was tweaked? It might just be me, but I find his 100% AP ratio on a fast, multi-target knock-up a little..restricting on the rest of his kit.
