See, the issue is, you thought you could counter a Rammus or Malphite with AD. Nah man. But really, can, armor shred passive W

That's the point I was making. Every match I see with a melee AD top, it's always countered by Malphite or Rammus.

Also Vi didn't work on the match I saw her try to gank top lane to help Darius . Malph ended up getting a double kill. He had 584 armor with item 3047 item 3075 item 3110 item 3065 item 3102 item 3026 at level 18.

Melted everything he came close to, didn't take a scratch, he did more champion damage than like 7 of the champions combined. Around 90k damage.

Any champ with true damage. Fiora, Vayne. Tahm is good with his percent health damage. But if someone picks that in ranked and you have to counter, honestly just pick a a bruiser and bully them HARD early when they are still relatively squishy, or build a tank and make it a war of attrition.

Saw a Fiora top, she was taking health away, but she was too squishy. Dropped Malph to about 70% health, she healed back to 100% herself in her aura, did about 40% more damage to him, but still died while he was around 15% health. She also had decent life steal and armor penetration.

I've seen them lose to Sej, Amumu, Cho, but those are all ap.

I scrolled past a game with 2 marksman, one was Vayne, so I guess she could have been top, but I'm looking for melee.

Point of this post was simply to say they don't have ad melee counters, which makes them unbalanced by default due to having ridiculous damage from armor scaling, both physical and magical.

PS Not sure what rank the matches were, it's whatever matches they show you on the front page. If you scroll over them it says, "WATCH NOW" so I've been clicking the ones with Malphite/Rammus in them and they dominate every top lane when laning against an AD melee champ with a ad melee jungler.
