Malphite PBE Changes, Might Kill Him for Me.
@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
. 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
, 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. 
-Typical build that has little item countering involved-
- 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.
