Malphite's gameplay is outdated when compared to the rest of the champion roster. In addition, his kit does not tie into his character thematically, I believe the small change of increasing Malphite's size and updating his kit would vastly increase his QoL.

FIRST CHANGE: Increase his size by 30%, and slow his animations by about 30%.

NEW KIT:

Passive: Steps of the Mountain

When Malphite steps within 200 units of an enemy champion, he deals 15 – 60 (based on level) (+3.5% Target's Maximum Health) physical damage to that champion after a 0.5 second delay.

Cooldown (Static): 7 seconds

Q – Hands of Stone

Active: Malphite's next two auto attacks within 4 seconds deal bonus physical damage that splashes to enemies around the target.

Spell Type: AoE Splash Radius: 300 Damage: 45/50/55/60/65 (+20% AP) (+30% Bonus Armor) Physical Damage Cooldown: 10 Cost: 30/31/32/33/34 Mana

W – Crag Shield

Passive (Magma Body): If Malphite is below 50% maximum health, he deals 10/15/20/25/30 (+10% Armor) Magic Damage to enemy units within 250 units every second. Active: Malphite gains a physical shield that persists for 5 seconds, then begins to decay over 5 seconds.

If Malphite is below 50% health when he casts this ability, the physical shield is converted into a standard shield.

Spell Type: Buff Shield Strength: 30/50/70/90/110 (+100% Armor) Cooldown: 10 seconds Cost: 10/15/20/25/30 Mana

E – Mantle Crevice

Active: Malphite creates a Crevice in front of him, dealing magic damage and snaring enemy units for one second on cast. The Crevice lasts for 5 seconds.

Malphite gains +20/25/30/35/40% movement speed on Crevices.

Range: 500 Damage: 200/240/280/320/360 (+60% AP) Magic Damage Cooldown: 20/19/18/17/16 seconds Cost: 70/75/80/85/90 Mana

R – Earthbreaking Stomp

Active: Malphite stomps the ground, sending out a massive shockwave that deals physical damage and knocks up any enemy units hit for 1 second.

Range: 1000 Wave Speed: 500 units a second Damage: 200/300/400 (+40% AP) Physical Damage Cooldown: 160 Seconds Cost: 100 Mana

I feel as if this new kit ties into his "Living Mountain" thematic better, but please, let me know what you think!

No. He's the only tank so far that hasn't been brutally slaughtered by updates.

i like everything but the ult because it feels like galios ult but without the damage reduction and mobility
