Playing against Malphite

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Poke him to break his passive shield: it doesn't recharge for 8s after taking damage.

2

AP champions counter him in lane: Malphite stacks armor but remains vulnerable to magic damage.

3

Spread out in teamfights: his R knocks up in an area. If you're grouped, the fight is lost.

4

His Q costs a lot of mana: force him to spam it and he'll run out before even reaching level 6.
