[Updated] 6/1 PBE Update: Mysterious Laughs on SR, SR Team Banners, tentative Jayce, Cait, Malphite changes, and more!

@20 Has to be my most visited site on the internet. I read it a lot, and find plenty of disturbing news!

Malphite changes. Sounded good. And I see why people would like it. People who build AP Malphites. I am not, one of those people. But I am also not one of those people who build pure tank Malphites. There are also those weird AD Assassin Malphites, because of his W.

I play an AD Bruiser Malphite. I'm sill a tank, technically my only AD item is item 3074. But it's beautiful on him. Because he gets 40% more AD for a few seconds, and AoE on his AA's passively. Between Masteries, Runes, and Hydra he can have 300 AD for 6 seconds.

I don't like AP burst Malph. It's good for AP Malph to have something after the ult smack combo. But I like him as AD, it feels better for me. Mages don't have much defensive/offensive items beyond item 3157 item 3001 item 3174, those are just the ones with resistances off the top of my head. Other's include AP/HP. I don't like the idea of his fists hitting harder because of a magic book. item 1052

-Typical build that has little item countering involved- item 3074 item 3025 item 3068 item 3065 item 3047 - Normally don't get to do more than this. Yeah, AP Malphite can take Iceborn and Sunfire too, but Spirit Visage + Hydra is great for healing back up.(Even if only a little) Something that AP Malph dose not do, sustain though a fight. I've never seen one take a WOTA.

So, can we not get rid of that? I use it a lot Riot. I don't mind his AP buff. Just Don't kill my AD though.

TL;DR

  • I like Malphite with his ONE, AD scaling. Don't take it away.
  • As AD I feel like I have more item options, and can still 100-0 a carry.

Annnd, tiny poll.

why do low elos love hydra and sunfire so much

literally any champ they play they build these on them lol

hydra is good for a select amount of champions and sunfire is just garbage.

Well, I like hydra on a lot of my Melees, but It's not like I am using it on Nunu or something. I'd be a lot more willing to hear you out if you managed to construct that all better. Like, as to why a different Item than Hydra would be a better choice? Or why Sunfire loses out to Randuins on total longevity.

I understand your, disposition I suppose, with low elos using all it so much. But please don't be so pessimistic towards me, makes you sound like the average toic rift raft that play this game. I'm sure you hold yourself above those idiots, right?

As another question, where dose low elo end in your mind? Gold? Plat? Diamond?
