As the Title says AP Malphite's numbers need looked at, its not healthy for his q to do half your health along with it stealing movement speed which he just runs away after he uses q and waits until its back up and does it again. Now his ults ap scaling is way to high he can 1 shot u with it. most champs mid lane cant deal with the poke he dishes out. Please look at his numbers.
KlydeFrog2 votesIt's not the ap it's the magic pent . Think of corki for instance he has less ratio then probably every champ but does damage I wonder why?
WoonStruck2 votesMalphite in general needs to be looked at.
His Q has one of the highest base damages in the game for a point/click utility spell.
Tahminatrix 1 votesI think its more of an issue with how strong magic pen items are and how hard it is for squishies to get MR.
for example gives 18 magic pen
Ya you can counter it with 
but now you just used your boot slot to get an item that will only help you against cc and magic damage, every champion has the ability to do physical damage, everything in this game except for obelisk can deal physical damage.
Meanwhile will help malphite kill everyone.
Also, reason why I put more blame on magic pen rather than AP is because 
has pretty decent base damage on his combo, same with 
And penetration in general.....
Right now, you have to go out of your way to get defensive stats meanwhile % and flat penetration isn't even taking a detour, usually it fits naturally into your build and helps you against everyone regardless of who they are, what type of damage they deal, and if they are building resistance or not.
HeresyHorus1 votesA null magic mantle + Mr runes (25+8+8) are more than enough a counter for sorc shoes early if magic damage is really a problem (it isn't).
You absolutely don't need to finish mantle into a merc shoes.
It is pointless to get merc shoes over ninja tabi when u can get the same tenacity from runes (the only exception is when against full ap comps which is an auto loss for them anyway)
Get mantle and sit on it, your natural health gain + scaling Mr will complement it until you figure into what you want to finish it.
Magic pen needs to be strong because magic damage is mostly restricted by CDs and resources and it is not as reliable as physical damage (skill shots).
I don't know how this "magic pen is op" nonsense complains have started.
Dodging 1 skill shot and having 1 Mr item will make any ap champ unable to kill u while u auto him to death as he waits for his cds, getting lost health back in the process thanks to lifesteal.
Malph full rotation will not kill you if u had 1 Mr item. And he will not have enough mana to full combo u if he kept spamming Q to get u low enough for a combo kill.
I spammed lot of support malph recently with mama rune and spellthief so I know his mana spam issues even with said setup.
It will be harder for him to spam in solo lane for sure.
The Kombinator1 votesMalphite can be countered so nothing needs to be done. Git gud.
