Malphite·Jungle Counters

Malphite is weak in the early game. You can use this to your advantage by invading him early on and trying to kill him.

As Malphite cannot really gank until he’s level 6, he will be looking to power farm to get his Ultimate R as quickly as possible. You can delay his level 6 power spike by invading his jungle and stealing away his camps.

Malphite will not be ganking until he has his Ultimate R. With this in mind, try to be as aggressive as you can and gank your allies as much as possible so it’s harder for Malphite to find ganking opportunities with his allies behind.

Avoid grouping tightly together as it will give Malphite a great opportunity to land a 5 person knock up with his Ultimate R.

Do not look for fights in the jungle or around the Dragon or Baron. This is because teams will generally be grouped closely together- which allows him to get a good Ultimate R off. Instead, try to fight in the open in a lane.

Poke and disengage are Malphites biggest threats. If you can, try to poke him down as much as possible before a team fight occurs to make it near impossible for him to engage without dying. Keeping him low will force him to recall.

Malphite is at his weakest in the early game. Try to set him behind to delay his next power spike.

At level 6, Malphite will get his Ultimate R. This is arguable the biggest power spike for him as it allows him to play more aggressive and start ganking his allies.

Team fights are where Malphite really shines as his Ultimate R is an AOE ability and can knock up multiple people.
