why is malp so op ?

i mean with dfg, he can go randuins+zhonya+ gauntlet has low cd's tankyness and deletes ppl pros of ap malp niggga cant pop that zhonya unlike with other le blancs and zed's so he is sure to assasinate not realy reliant or laning, you get 6 , you poke, you ult and kill skyrockets with one item hard to kill rock solid initiation through assasination, you dont realy need to be tanky cause you will remove their damage the second the fight starts

cons of malphite can be bulied early, but a jungle gank solves that and makes it easy to turn around being bullied early makes you get that dfg quite late

He isn't OP. If you really can't kill an AP malphite, something is kind of wrong with your team.

Early game, no real escape and very mana hungry. Easy to take down as well.

Mid game he's still squishy, but less mana hungry and has a form of escape. A very precious form of escape.

This is clearly a rage thread, case closed.

its not a rage thread its me who plays ap malphite lack of escape wont hurt you cause you start with flask and additional full ward, and pushing with him is rly hard easy to take down? after 5 q's i wouldnt say so, still flask mid game he is squishy thats true, but how will you exploit it, he wont walk alone in that mid game, he will just rock you and his team will mop the rest, mid game skirmishes, roams etc, thats a basic thing to not walk alone

i played him quite much and i kinda find it hard to actualy stop him, he can be insanely passive early and wont get punished, and insanely oppresive late, still with no chance for punishing unless you will ram their team alone

also fun fact, you can dfg mid ult and dfg will hit before it

Considering two things: the thread is -2,

You consider AP malphite completely op with no counter, only with ONE ITEM. No champion scales that much unless he got hyper fed, meaning you only have something like 2 doran's rings to his deathfire.

He is by no means, hard to kill. He's full AP, meaning he dies just as easily as any other AP if he goes in at the wrong time.

5 Qs of what champion?

Pretty much every champion with some sort of dash can use DFG before it lands,

And if he built only armor, that means you played an AD assassin or something similar. I'm thinking zed. In other words, you didn't build armor pen first. It seems unsual and some people may consider you dumb, but you can at least hurt the "Unbeatable, super tanky with tons of damage" malphite. And you aren't weak with armor pen, you still do damage. And this build vs a burst mage = him dead in an instant to anyone with a stun or something similar.

If he kills your damage carry instantly, it means you gave him a little too much room to work on. Unless your damage carry was on the front line, Malphite will be very close to your team for him to ult into the back.

Oh, and it is a rage thread. You don't use punctuation or grammar, you call him OP when he built only armor, meaning you didn't have an apc on your team. And from what I read, he does this with 240 AP. Shall I do math?

270 + 144(60% of 240) = 414 magic damage. 220 +83.85(30% armor(89.5 + 190) + 48(20% of 240) =351.85 magic damage 400 +240(100% of AP) = 640 magic damage. 1405.85 magic damage total, *1.2 from DFG's effect(Not counting max health as that's too different on each champion): 1687.02 magic damage.

This is pretty much the same damage as every AP character. So please, don't talk about what you aren't aware of. Malphite is balanced.

if i go ap malp top and delete the apc (he cant zhonya if knocked up) and ofc i wont be stupid enough to dive 1v5 without my team following up then yes i call him op i dont substitute ap malp for a midlaner that makes no sence, i substitute malp for a toplaner (who usualy camps top and proves unexistant) top is easy to gank and malp can assist easy, roaming is very effective with him, and if he has lead he wont lose it too easy

its like pre nerf lb but he goes top and he is tankier, he deletes one guy and supports your team with cc (ms slow and atk spd slow)

it requires a little setup but ap malp is kinda 100% effective and his base stats make him quite good vs most top laners early

In other words, you only went against the APs, you had a tank or two in other lanes, and apparently the apc on their team is dumb enough to get caught by malphite ult every time.

Oh, and AP malphite is a mid laner. And if the enemy team has more than one APC, you're royally screwed unless they're both that squishy.

dunno how about it but i like him on top cause he does not get poked from range 24/7 and can trade there (if you pick him to a place that does not allow him to live i dont find it weird that you see so much cons )

the main reason to pick the guy is the fact that he is realy good at deleting carries mid to late game

you just see the guy out of position and it happens, he has nothing to do besides a lucky flash
