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.
In team fights, you can either look for a multi-person knockup with your Ultimate R, or try to isolate a target that’s overextended and too far forward.
Avoid team fighting until you have your Ultimate R up. Without it, you’re not very good in team fights.
