Hey, I'm going support Malphite, do I have to build the 2 dorans rings?
is there any other change in the build?

hey, quick question would u recommend / support gathering storm instead of scorch ? THANKS <3

BaLoRi (44) | August 13, 2020 10:47am
Not at all, Scorch is a super powerful rune that will damage the enemy 1 second after using your skill, cause of this, that will keep the %hp dmg from Liandry's Torment activated for at least 2more seconds and apply even more damage, also you will use it from level 1 to damage your enemies with a CD as small as 10 secs!!

is this build viable on all lanes? (not jungle)
1
BaLoRi (44) | July 26, 2020 11:43am
You can play with our Malphite build in any lane you want, even as jungler!
For example if you want to play as support, you will go for the same item order, with the only difference that you will start level with spell thief, into the 2 Doran's Ring cause of how the sup items works, they are the most gold efficiency and strongest items in the game, cause you will have free stats as long as you are using their effects 💙

thank you, i thought it wasn't viable on support and jungle but after trying it i found it very good :D

hey there! Thanks a lot for the build, I've always liked AP Malph. I have one gripe with the guide though: Your uploaded showcase videos for the build always show rather easy (i.e. melee) matchups, when this build's biggest weakness is pokey (i.e. ranged) champions. I would love to see a video and/or tips against ranged mages or, god forbid, Quinn or Vayne top, that just poke you down until you can no longer stay in lane and farm, thus delaying the build into uselessness (in my experience). For example, I recently played against an Orianna top and boy was that hard. Her autos do so much damage that I couldn't do anything. Any tips?

Hello my friend, sorry for the late response, lets talk about Malphite a bit, our build created with a way to make sure you wont lose against any of the champions, Malphite is a champion that got crazy sustain on his own, without having "tank items" with the 3 doran's rings you will have enough HP that together with your passive to not be able to die that easily, your Q and overall your pokes especially after getting your rings plus having the Manaflow Band fully stacked will let you spam your skills all game long, without having mana problems, what you need to do is poke the target with Q while of course focusing on farming, then the moment he is at 40% HP, to instantly go in with your R-Q-E-W-Ignite combo and kill him, repeat that all the time and avoid the damage early, just by doing that, you will be able to win against ANY MATCH UP, especially the range ones that will have low amount of HP and MR that will make them easy targets after your 6 level!
If you are not confident enough early, ask for your jungler to come gank once to "burn the flash" of the enemy laner, or simply make the range or the hard top laner to go back for a little bit and give you time to level up!!

Play to have fun while trying to improve and be sure that soon you wont lose against anyone, no matter who, just by following our builds 💙

who would you recomment to ban when you go to mid and top incase of an autofill soloq
1
BaLoRi (44) | July 7, 2020 6:26pm
Overall I am always banning Darius but not cause he is a problem, nothing is a problem against our build guides, but cause of his late game potential and how dangerous he can be against teammates that don't know how to kite him!
Overall focus on banning champions that can be a threat LATE GAME, not early 💙

Hello Balori,
This is the first time that I speak with you but Im a huge fan of all your guides and your fantastic builds and ideas for the champions that I love.

In this guide, with Malphite, I used to have a problem, when I fought against Sett, Fiora or champs with good kite, I cant farm nice because in early im just afraid of death in their hands and I cant farm with my spells because my mana ran off very fast. What would you recommend me?

BaLoRi (44) | May 5, 2020 2:09am
Against melee match ups like those, especially sett and Fiora, you will start with E, last hit the first 3 creeps and stack the manaflow at the same time. With our little rock what you need to do is overall to just focus on stacking manaflow early and of course farming, no reason to poke them with Q, cause it needs a lot of mana, your E is more than enough (50mana cost) to reduce their attack speed and make them pretty much useless, even if its a level 1 skill, after getting your 3 rings, then you can start to POKE THEM TO DEATH and kill them, also if you play passive early 100% of the times the enemy top laner with sett and fiora will go for Tiamat, that means 100% certain win for you, cause they wont be able to sustain your damage at all!!

Love your guide! I assume this guide is for top only? If you were to go mid, would you build anything different?

BaLoRi (44) | September 3, 2019 9:37am
If you notice I didnt put "role" to this build. Cause our Full Magic Malphite build can work in EVERY SINGLE ROLE you want. TOP/MID/SUP/JUGNLE/APC! Choose one and enjoy your free wins <3

cvgjnh | September 8, 2019 7:22pm
I like that confident assertion , but surely there must be at least a few minor changes if you were to play in some of the other roles. Like for support, perhaps you would get spellthief's edge as a first item and for jungle you absolutely need smite. Are there any other minor changes you would suggest for different roles?

Hello my Friend,

I always watch your videos and I really enjoy your work.
I have a question: currently I am a silver player and in my elo most of the games have no one doing magical resistance item.
In these cases, is it more effective build more AP itens like rabadon and spellbinders?

Void Staff does not seem to me a good item when no one has made a MR item.

BaLoRi (44) | January 10, 2019 5:26am
Glad to hear that you watching my videos, but Im already explaining about that inside my build guide :D
Here it is:
With this build Malphite become a really strong late game Assassin/Mage/Tank Champion. You will be able to deal Tons of PURE DAMAGE To any Champion with your skills!
But why is that? Most people cant really understand what MAGIC PENETRATION really doing, so let me explain, magic resistance is a type of "defense" that cut % of the magic damage taken towards the champion, our build focusing to bring this amount of "defense" as close to zero as possible or even BELOW ZERO, what will happen if you bring the target below zero magic resistance? The answer is simple, instead of PURE DAMAGE you will be doing BONUS DAMAGE and the %bonus damage while the target is below zero is just INSANE!
Lets talk with numbers right now, our build(version 1) will give you 18 Magic Pen from your Sorcerer's boots and another 40% Maic Pen from your Void Staff plus you will be having extra 6 Magic Pen after using your ultimate with Sudden Impact rune, so you will have total of 24 | 40% Magic Pen!
The calculations of Magic Penetrations goes like this:
Magic penetration, percentage.
Magic penetration, flat.
So if the target for example has 100 MR, you will reduce its MR by 40 with your Void Staff and another 18 from your Sorcerer's boots this will leave the target with 42 MR, what that means? The damage to a target with 100 MR would be
100 magic resistance → × 0.5 magic damage (50% reduction).
So 50% of what your skills are saying, for example if you calculate the base damage of your skill plus the AP ratio and its doing 1000 damage you will do only 500 to the target(not so good right?) WITH OUR BUILD you will be doing:
42 magic resistance → × 0.3 magic damage (30% reduction). In numbers instead of doing 500 damage (with 100 MR) you will be doing 700 damage and this amount MULTIPLY while the target is below 0 MR, for example range mages with only 39 MR and while playing with our Full Magic Penetration version 2(with Morellonomicon) then you will have 18 + 15 = 33 Flat Magic Pen plus 40% From your void staff, this will bring the target to -10 Magic Resistance, you want to know what that means? It means that your damage will be 10% BONUS, so if your skill doing 1000 damage you will do 1100 DAMAGE to the target!!
Sounds fun? NOT FOR YOUR ENEMIES!
