Introduction
Hi my name is Secretmagoo. I've been playing League for around a year and a half now. While I'm not the best player in the world by any means, I still have an above average understanding of the game. This is my top Malphite guide. Malphite has become my favorite top lane champion this season. His overall tankyness and amazing Ultimate makes him a champion worth learning. Let me know what you think by leaving a rating and a comment as this is my first guide.
Pros And Cons

Pros
|
+ Great Initiation + Super Tanky + ULT Can Turn Teamfights + Bonus Armor and AD With W
|
Malphite brings a lot to a team. He has an amazing initiation with
. His passive
gives a shield every couple seconds. This is great in lane when trading or tanking turret shots when needed.
is great for chasing down enemies as it steals movement speed.

Cons
|
+ Needs Strong Team + Does Very Little Damage Late Game + Hard To Push Lanes + Useless In Team Fights Without
|
Like any champion, Malphite has some weaknesses. He is very dependent on a strong team as he does little to no damage late. It is challenging to get kills in lane without ganks or stopping enemy tower dives with
. Malph is also very mana dependent when spamming abilities without some mana regen item.

Skill Explanations
Granite Shield (Passive) This is a fantastic passive for trading against opponents. It gives a shield
equal to 10% max health every 10/8/6 seconds depending on your level.
Seismic Shard (Q) Seismic Shard is a great ability for chasing someone down. Not only is the base
damage not horrible, it steals the a percentage of the enemies movement speed meaning you can stick right on them or escape a gank.
Brutal Strikes (W) Brutal Strikes is going to become your favorite ability on Malphite. When activated, it
increases Malphite's Attack Damage and Armor by 20/25/30/35/40 percent depending on how many times you've leveled it up. This is great for tanking turrets, farming, or just fighting overall. The passive on Brutal Strikes attacks nearby enemies for a percentage of your AD.
Ground Slam (E) Ground Slam is the ability that should be maxed first. Its relatively low mana costs
and damage from +30% of armor and +20% from AP, encourages a tanky build as it scales off of overall Armor. It is also the best ability for farming as it all enemies in an area around Malphite.
Unstoppable Force (R) Unstoppable Force is easily one of the best engages in the game. Malphite
dashes forward and knocks up all enemies he hits and stuns them for 1.5 seconds. Using this at the right time can be all that is needed to turn a teamfight around. It can also be used as a second flash for escaping a tricky situation.
Masteries
and
and extra defensive masteries makes laning against those champs a lot easier.
Runes
Runes
- Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage: There are two real options to take for Quinces. You can take some armor Quince or Attack Damage Quince. Personally I take the Damage ones for some early aid in lane.
- Greater Mark of Attack Damage: This is the best mark to take at this point. It gives some added attack damage for trading and farming. Nothing better to take.
- Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: This is the best glyph to take. While you most likely won't be needing magic resist in lane. It will help out late game when tanking AP carries.
- Greater Seal of Armor: Extra Armor is idea on Malphite. It means taking less damage in lane and added damage from your W. Unless the meta changes soon, you should always take armor seals on Malphite.
This rune page is pretty basic. I don't like going for the crazy set ups and this usually does the job quite well. It has some armor magic resist and attack damage for better farming and trading. If you're trying to find a page that does well on most champions, this is a great one for AD champs.
