Playing as Malphite

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Wait for them to group for R

    Save Unstoppable Force (R) for when the enemy carries are grouped: nothing stops your charge, and the impact knocks every enemy in the area into the air.

  2. Steal speed with Seismic Shard

    Cast Seismic Shard (Q) before engaging or to escape: it slows the target and gives you the speed it steals.

  3. Trade with your shield up

    Take your trades while Granite Shield (passive) is up: it absorbs 10% of your max health, and Thunderclap (W) then triples your bonus armor.

  4. Ground Slam against attackers

    Against a champion who lives on autos, start your trades with Ground Slam (E): it lowers their attack speed, and its damage scales with your armor.

Playing against Ryze

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off when he marks you

    Back off when Spell Flux (E) marks you: marked, Rune Prison (W) roots you instead of slowing you, and Overload (Q) hits you harder.

  2. Target him when he comes close

    If you can engage, target him when he comes close for his combo: he has no dash to get away.

  3. Interrupt his portal

    If you have CC, use it on Ryze while Realm Warp (R) is charging: it cancels the portal.
