Malphite Matchups Overview
Malphite General information
Malphite tips and tricks
You’re weak in the early game. Try and avoid skirmishing with the enemy especially if they’re strong in the early game.
When laning against ranged champions, be prepared to sacrifice some CS for XP so they don’t poke you down. Avoid standing too close to them when not last hitting so they cannot attack you for free.
In team fights, you can either look for a multi-person knockup with your Ultimate, or try to isolate a target that’s overextended and too far forward.
