I find it pretty funny. With his W and 
, he does a lot of AOE Damage with basic attacks. You can then build 
, 
or even 
. Going tanky after 1 or 2 offensive items will make you able to survive. Even if you don't have any AD scaling, you still have utility.
Just build Crit malphite and hide in bushes with a sweeper, you can one or two shot carries c:
Malphite is more of a Bruiser than a straight Tank; it'd only make sense that well placed offensive itemization fits on him.
Long time ago when there existed an item that gave you 100% crit chance.
Those were the good old days
i've trolled with hydra, sword of divine, thirster, botrk, shivv malphite before it rocked lol
