[REWORK CONCEPT] Malphite, The Living Mountain
Malphite's gameplay is outdated when compared to the rest of the champion roster.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!
