We don't currently have any plans to Malphite's Q into a skillshot. Changes we're considering right now all focus on his W.

My first red :D And that's really good to hear, good luck on the update!

PLEASE don't ruin AD Malphite! He is currently my favourite niche pick and i love him to bits. :'[

It helps to explain what you like about AD Malphite that is unique, healthy for the game, and workable in his kit.

Laustin SpaceJun 1, 20151 votes

Its hard to explain but I'd say its simply fun beating the pulp out of enemy champions as Malphite being a big rock with a fun attack animation and actually feeling weight behind those attacks. His passive shield is very unique and fun to make use of in lane and I don't see how AD Malphite has in any way been unhealthy in the sense that it is certainly strong if played right but not overpowered in any way.

don't you find it sad tho? The player base is now afraid that any time riot plans to touch up older champs that they'll have their reliability scrapped for a homogenized skill shot nuke.

Meddler, what is the reasoning behind making new W scale with AP? AD Malphite was never problematic to begin with, and the new AP ratio might as well not be there for how low it is.

darkdillJun 1, 20151 votes

It's about time, honestly. Malphite's splash scaling off his AD always felt wonky to me, and only worked for troll builds like SotD Critphite (which doesn't exist anymore).

Skill shot really just means, "We want mobility champs to be more powerful". Mobility champs are the ones who thrive in the skill shot arena. Everyone else gets to rush boots and hide behind minion waves.

I wish I could upvote this more than once, because you have captured how I feel about removing targeted abilities exactly.

ThryaleJun 1, 20151 votes

aye, rip veigar. I used to love playing him, now it's just flat out unfun.

sorry but malphite Q must be a skillshot. Everything must be a skillshot. I hope minion will fire skillshoot missile too. i'm bored of being killed by minions

I'm going to disagree here, Malphite falls into that category of not OP but beyond any bonds of reasonable frustrating to deal with, because he has creep bypassing poke and slow on one point and click and is a descent brawler who can mess you up, if it must remain point and click i would like the damage made to require he land a basic attack,

allthemuslimsJun 1, 20152 votes

Vladimir item 3145 No slow, but you can't deny it's frustrating to have all of your poke become worthless Annie What you hate about Malphite's, but hard instead of soft CC Gangplank His Q is basically the same as Malphite's, but can crit and grant gold instead of giving him a speedboost.

And many more. Malphite isn't very strong early game, relies on his Q for successful ganks early and lane Malphite needs it to CS (I don't really play lane Malphite much though). If his Q becomes a colliding skillshot his new W had better be really frickin spectacular

1: Is frustrating but has no hard CC needs work just as much as mal

2: isn't anywhere near as bad because if she fails to kill with her combo she is pretty helpless

3: Doesn't build tank at all,

allthemuslimsJun 1, 20151 votes

If you're just looking at people that are tanks but still deal massive damage, look at: Darius , Rammus , Renekton and a few others. Tanks with less CC tend to have more damage to compensate. They can typically deal with/burst down squishies if they can stick on them, but they are generally quite kitable when their 1 mobility spell is down.

Thanotos OmegaJun 1, 20151 votes

None of them, have his frustration factor, he is annoying because he uses his chasing tool as Poke and because it's a point and click it's frustrating,

OrbvJun 1, 20152 votes

Doing that would mess up his lane against Rumble Darius Kayle Riven Singed Heimerdinger Aatrox Gnar Jayce etc.
