My Homie Malphite

Hey Riot. As you know Malphite has been a good champion for a real long time. Isn't it time to give him some new threads? I know he's old and kinda rickety, but come on I see him banned so often in ranked game that it's obvious he's left a millennium's worth of destruction in his shot little existence. Here's my concept. Look he's a damned Earth elemental. I've read his story and even though it doesn't come right out and say it, that's what he is. The description's perfect. So let's play with that. His dimensions need sizing. Bad, come on Riot, Malphite should easily be the size of the only other real elemental in the game (Sorry Brand you're just a hyped up fire buster from the table top RPG Rifts, Punk a**ed MEffer) Nautilus. He's a giant boulder give the lane presence he deserves. Secondly When I think of Malphite I think of the giant stone Buddha statues of Tibet. Yes let's allow Buddha to walk the land once more. Let's allow Malphite to spread Peace to the violent by smashing them into the ground silencing their world for good. (But I'd still make this re-visioning of the stone Buddha still kinda Malphite-ish. You know the 4 huge fingers, the cracks through his "skin", and how they glow when he w's, the big craggy features (maybe a distorted and cracked carving of Buddha's face, distorted in a way to make it look like that's how Malphite's current face formed. Oh and when he W's make the orange glow radiate on everything around him. Have him kinda fight a little like a monk too. He should still keep that big lumbering oafy way he moves, but perhaps you could have him palm strike when he hits. These are just some ideas. I hope we get to see them. It's sounds like a big deviation, admittedly it is, but come on Riot, this guy deserves it.

Yes! I love malphite, but he needs to be revitalized.
