Malphite's lore says he is a gigantic mountain, would you like something 20X the size of the turrets blocking your screen?

The point of this is that lore =/= gameplay.

I'd be fine with malphite being that big if I could just rip chunks off of him with Taliyah.

Yea but xerath isnt a mage

xerath ascended to become a god so he is now a god

That's like saying bread is no longer bread, because it was in the toaster. Just because it's now crunchy, doesn't mean it suddenly stopped being made up of yeast & grain.

no it just means yeast and grain can be more then bread

for example it can also be toast

Yeast can be a bagel or pie crust too; point is just because it's cooked, doesn't make it some food other than yeast based. You can't cook a pie crust and get an orange peel either. The word 'toast' is referring to the state of the bread; just as the word 'sitting' would be used to describe a gamer at the computer. It's not changing the kind of matter, it's showing the state it's in. [zombie-brand-facepalm] He's a guy that studied magic, therefore a mage by basic definition; just because he ascended doesn't mean he stopped. If he retired from being a mage (regardless of new power or new desire), then why is he still in league?
