So is malphite just a huge counter to Vayne?

Honestly I had to lane against a support malphite and a twitch and it was just the perfect setup. Malphite's kit especially his ult just stopped anything I could do and most of the time I couldn't react to his ult fast enough. He could keep twitch safe at any opportunity. But then again I think some of the board was in my game because their whole team kept trying to gank bot.

Yes.

But also you just aren't good enough to flash his ults on reaction.

I mean I kind of could, but I don't have a flash up for every ult.

I think Malphite wrecks all adc's (and squishies in general). Not just Vayne.

as a support? i dont know.

but the only way to deal with vayne at the moment is about 4k health and 700 armor with a thornmail. malphite is one of the 2 champions who can accomplish that.

rammus gets less armor, but he has an inbuilt thornmail to stack on the other one.

Malphite is pretty good at locking people down. Also, he has a crazy amount of armor built into his kit as well as a built in attack speed slow

Malphite is good at being braindead easy to play while doing a ton of damage and countering every attack damage based champ.

but hey "tanks need buffs"

Malphite was never a player in the tank meta.... He was just helped by cinderhulk at that time.

But then again your match history shows mostlyYasuo. But hey "an assassin complaining about a tank" ;)

fair enough, I am just saying that malphite has a simple mechanic, facerolling carriers, item 3143 the champion.

Malphite is a good counter to any ADC that relies on AS basically, which is nearly all of them.

I've been using Malphite and Skarner as a counter to Vayne and Kalista lately, both work quite well. Especially Skarner.

Malphite can do what he did to any ADC

He isn't really doing too much before 6 without ult tho.

Support malphite can be legit though. I think. So long as the support he is versus can't apply to much ranged harass early game (otherwise your ADC is kind of in a 1v2 til 6). So support Malphite is only safe if you see another tank support.
