How to play against Malphite

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Push early waves when he lacks waveclear, then use the bounce to avoid his level-six all-in.
2. Trade around his passive shield; break it first, then commit damage before it refreshes.
3. Split side pressure during objective setup so he cannot force his ideal grouped R fight.
4. Track his R before stepping into river; give him vision-denied angles and he will start the fight.
5. Spread carries before Baron and Elder so one R cannot hit multiple damage dealers.

Where Malphite is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Malphite loses value against magic-heavy damage because his armor-stacking identity does not blunt AP threats.
• Malphite's teamfight threat is concentrated in one engage, so spread formations sharply reduce his impact.
