Malphite needs the Shen treatment

His Q is a simple, point-and-click damage ability + random bonus effect that doesn't make any sense with his character.

His W and E are AOE damage abilities that are probably more powerful than they feel, but are not very interesting and definitely don't make you feel like you're playing a friggin mountain. One of them would be fine (I'd say his E) but I think they're too similar to both stay.

His ult is fine and it should stay the same (just like Shen's)

The champion update team did such a great job updating Shen, I think they could do the same with Malphite. Any thoughts on what changes they could make?

Oh and his passive should include "Malphite is considered terrain for the purposes of abilities that interact with terrain" :D

The bonus effect on Malphite's Q doesn't make any sense. A dude throws rocks at you and suddenly he's moving faster? Yeah, but no. It's not as if he has hard time getting into the fight.

Lol'd at new passive.... Malph support Vayne ADC new meta.

Something where Malph throws a rock that shrapnels kind of like Liss Q might be nice. Mix Gnar Q and Liss Q? I like the passive shield and how it breaks right now, but maybe grant MS when it breaks since he is lighter? I definitely like E and R the way they are, and the W gives you some way to keep dealing damage in fights and in JG... I dk, maybe do something drastic with W like lower his AS by 50% and make the claps BIGGER and do like a small stun around them? .#.MountainJinx

the only thing that malphite needs changed is how much base armor/ mg resist he has mid game, it just slightly needs to be lowered.

The did no where near a good job with Shen.... with that being said, Malphite is fine as is!
