So where did this malphite top phase come from?

One of the best initiation ults in the game + very hard to out-trade because of his shield + a natural counter to the melee bruisers and lategame AD carries that dominate current ladder meta (though he's pretty much hard countered by any AP top, and especially ones with good ranged poke)

I'm aware, what made it that why? Was he in a tourney or something?

Udyr beats him, ap beats him, Range beats him, Yorick beats him.

Udyr comes out level if the Malphite is competent at all, and doesn't have the multi-target initiation for lategame; the majority of ranged champs have no business going top in the first place, I said AP beats him, and Yorick again tends to drop off later in the game (and can be beaten by baiting out ghouls near bush). Now that I think about it, Riven and Jax have done well against him too recently in big games/high Elo.

[Brandi]

IMO Malphite is one of Jax's hard counters.
I wouldn't take much shown in high elo games to heart as sometimes it's just one outplaying another/coordinating better with their jungler. I see a lot of champs stomp their counters just with pure skill.

In MLG or one of the online tourneys, someone played him as a Jax counterpick and since then he's been played a lot.

Thank you hindu.

Jayce is crazy fun, and crazy intricate. You have to think about cross-stance functionality.

[Espeonage]

So I kinda went and bought myself Amethyst Ashe because sexy skin is sexy.

[Ankamius]

Damn, Scarra made the current mid-lane meta in Korea sound incredibly boring.

"Play TF, Karthus, or Kassadin" is basically what it was.

[pickemgenius]

not sure how much ap beats malph considering getting an abyssal is pretty standard.

[Espeonage]

Is it just me or does doing tribunal leave you with a feeling that people seem to get overly butthurt about things that don't matter? So what if he calls you a retard once.

....

You are talking about the only skin they DIDNT re-do with her art re-make?

Malph doesn't scale as well as most AP's you'd send top against him, and he wont have that MR to negate their early game harass.

Malphite scales really well. He always has. =/ You're still going to run mr blues on him(he also gets mr per level naturally), and if you choose to you can ditch early gp10s and grab a negatron.


You should be able to easily win trades vs basically every ap you'd send against him.

[Brandi]

Any champion can build MR against him top as well though
Like if Ryze gets BV first he will pretty much have a very easy time against Malphite.

Decided to grab an elobuff sub for a month. It's alright. A lot of raw data which is nice, but the samples sizes are often kinda low and there isn't a good way to see how many games are going in to each stat. Also, some of the data is kinda naive - the "synergies" section is basicially worthless at present, and the %win with items stat is too naive at present (Madreds Bloodrazor ranks really high a lot, but how much of that is Bloodrazor winning the game and how much of it is the game having ALREADY been won to the extent a bloodrazor doesn't change anything?) Probably gonna stop it from re-upping, unless I learn some really cool stuff playing with it.

I fear for all of the amateur inferences that will come out of people misinterpreting elobuff data. But if they set up some controlled viewer filter sets (for example: take synergy and divide it by the champs standard win rate, and compare synergies and counters explicitly in the lane) it could be really neat.
