Well its now official Riot hate Malphite!

So riot gut Malphite in the previous PBE uptade

Seismic Shard (Q): Cooldown changed from 8 at all ranks to 11/10/9/8/7 Mana cost lowered from 70/75/80/85/90 to 50/55/60/65/70 Magic damage lowered from 70/120/170/220/270 to 60/90/120/150/180 Movement speed steal changed from 14/17/20/23/26% to 25% at all ranks Movement speed steal duration lowered from 4 seconds to 3 seconds

Brutal Strikes (W) : [New Effect] "While Granite Shield holds, this bonus is tripled to x."

The old ones

So it was a debate that yeah he lose too much damage from his Q for a better ultility (Which is not because the durration is going down for 1 second and the CD in early-mid game is up to 3 seconds) but anyway people were saying that now he deals more damage with his E because of the W and his Q ms steal is now stronger as 1 point!

But this is a very wrong thing to do because late game Malphite become even more an ult bot because too many damage from his overall burst is gone!

But it was a debate BUT NOW

Seismic Shard (Q) movement speed steal lowered from 25% to 20%

Brutal Strikes (W) armor lowered from 15/20/25/30/35% to 10/15/20/25/30%

Riot nerf hid W and Q so all the debate from the first Uptade are gone and now Malphite would deal less damage OVERALL and he would be easier to KITE too

So that mean THAT AFTER Malphite ULTI he would be USELESS and that how Riot make Malphite a more interactive with nerfing everything his damage his somehow mobility his ARMOR buff (which is who he is) and leave him probably at 44% win ratio because after this things hit live Gnar-Jayce and so on would have even more easy lane against Malphite
