Malphite Passive

I've posted this before, but got no comments haha. So I'm posting again. Looking to get some input from somewhere lol.

I'm not a fan of minion targeting to begin with, they seem to sometimes just target random things and change targets awkwardly. But when it comes to Malph's passive, it's super annoying. Especially in lanes where you're getting poked down and need to be able to back off sometimes, it's very costly to have the random cannon minion just decide to attack you when you've avoided damage for nearly 10 seconds, only to realize you've lost farm to gain shield and you don't get it anyways. It's also annoying to have traded, win or not, and have these little caster minion autos chasing you while you run away and keep your passive off for an extra 2-3 seconds. Maybe he's in a place Riot is happy with, but changing his passive to ignore minion damage for the reset would be a great minor buff in my opinion. Maybe minions ignoring the shield all together, as in not damaging it either, is the way to do it. I'd just love to not have minions reset the timer after I've carefully avoided champion damage.

Why the rock still needs buff? Two AA-reliant champions who can lane well against him is already nerfed severely (Jax, Kayle). Irelia and Riven is ok, but Malphite kit can deal with them.

Two bursty melees who can make some difficulty for him also got nerfs (Nidalee, Fizz) - either AP or AD.

Two AP tanks who can outscale him already received decent nerfs (Ryze, Maokai). Some other AP top like Lissandra, Kennen, Lulu, can not compare with his tankiness at all.

The new juggernauts are good, but Malphite can play safe against them, can go aggressive when jungler comes. And on skirmish/teamfight Malphite has one of the best initiative move in the game, rocking them!
