I think that Malphite can play a perfect support, since he is a lot less gold reliant than many other champions, but scales very well with just a couple of items. You definitely don't go Black Cleaver or Warmog's with Malphite. A much better support build, however, would be:

item 3401 item 3050 item 3111 item 3190 item 3025 item 3742

Stick with your ADC, use your Zeke's and your Locket to keep them alive and pressured, then use the stacking Armor to make yourself beefy for team fights. Dead Man's Plate lets you chase down fleeing enemies or helps with getting into range for your Q to slow down your primary target. It's really useful to be able to engage on your opponents without always using your Ultimate, since you may need to use that to peel for your ADC. The ability power snuck into some of these items will also help you deal a bit more damage, but it doesn't take away from your tanky stats and gives you a presence in team fights. This is one of my favorite builds, even as a jungler (subbing the jungle item for the support item), since it gives you a bit of everything (health, armor, magic resist, movement speed, ability power) and doesn't sacrifice for anything.

Good luck.

Malphite can do just ok in support :

  1. less than average disengage,
  2. low peel
  3. low utility

In team fight he has its place, he is tailored to resist 3/4 people focus the time needed for his team to operate freely. But i he is not tailored to protect carry. In lane, focus carry and let malphite run as With utility tree you are not doing the right amount of damage for the conception of the hero. Today Malphite is a monster vs AD team as Armor building converts into lots of Damage. And Damage is not the focus of Support.

Using Malphite in support is bad because he would be better employed at Top or Jungle, where he shines naturally.

Haven't met one that I did not beat.

It probably works against an AD-heavy comp, with an ADC that doesn't need much peel, and against an enemy support that doesn't have strong disengage.

It could, but he works much better top or in the jungle.

It can work if the adc can live solo until he hits 6. He's useless without his ulti. I haven't had a malph support I haven't hated for the first six levels and only one I didn't hate after level 6.
