When Does Malphite Get Reworked?

Mad Malphite·May 16, 2016·2 votes·609 views

So, older champions have been getting reworks to keep up with the ever evolving summoner pool. One that has yet to receive a rework is Malphite but I believe all the justifications are there. His disruptive kit pales in comparison to the assassins and fast paced fighting that consumes summoners rift. I find myself (as a Malphite main) constantly trying with no avail to protect damage dealing champions on my team. The enemy team effectivly ignores me until I'm the last alive and forced to run away with the minimal damage I'm capable of dealing. In conclusion I believe that Malphite, a character with so much rework potential, is deserving of a higher skillcap and kit adjustment. P.S Rito pls

I mean... you say he pales in comparison, but three of his abilities are absolutely amazing. He has one of the best initiations on a short cooldown (It's 60 seconds with max CDR? Even without max, it's up for practically every teamfight.), he has an Armor steroid (Can't think of a character besides Rammus that has one) and he has a massive AoE Attack Speed slow. He's got amazing utility when positioned right.

Could he use a rework to make him more interesting, though? Absolutely.

As for his initiation, it is very useful for starting fights but that's really all. The armor steroid is fine if you have a reason to be targeted or can force it like Rammus but he is easily ignored. To say his E is massive is generous and honestly only significantly effects the adc as most top laners/junglers have substantial burst with their abilities. He is lacking to say the least if you really know all he's capable of.
