Don't go malphite solo top.
You get outfarmed / owned hard by every vladimir / irelia player . Also Alistar is Malphite but then much better . Malphite is probably even worse then shaco jungle because you are harrased pretty easily and the shield soakes it up a bit but getting hit by a char with 2 ranged abilities or can use multiple abilities you are pretty boned .
I think Trundle solo top is actually the same as malphite solo top , both CAN possibly solo top but against very specific enemies, if they get a tough character such as vlad to play against they will lose horribly if they don't get a succesful gank .
Even playing Twitch is less of a troll pick then malphite .

This post is unnecessary, my question was answered already. Also, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Maybe YOU get outfarmed/owned hard by every vlad/irelia player, but I don't. Maybe you have bad runes and masteries, maybe you have incompetent team mates, maybe you just suck with Malphite, I don't know. I solo top fairly often, and Malphite has been one of my most successful champions, second only to Singed. He's got a mean harrass, he's resistant to harrass, and he can counter push quickly if the other champion pushes. His ult is ****ing amazing in conjunction with a jungle gank, and he can tower dive almost as well as Rammus.
I'm quite an Alistar player, and let me tell you he is nothing like malphite. Alistar is a strong support, and an okay caster if built AP. He fits best in bottom lane supporting a ranged DPS with his CC and heals, and he's not CS reliant at all. Malphite is close to a full tank, with a lot of power after you get a bit of armor. He has enough burst to flat-out kill an enemy carry if they're not careful, and is an annoyingly strong chaser. Pick up a Doran's Shield or Regrowth Pendant and Malphite has beastly sustain if played correctly.
Trundle solo top is kind of silly. He's a very strong jungler, and has no ranged poke to keep even with enemy harrass early game (malphite has his Q). I'm sure Trundle could solo top if he had to, but between him and Malphite, there's really no comparison.
Maybe you don't find me that credible, but consider the bunch of other people who've posted in this thread who consider Malphite an acceptable solo top. You didn't see any of them telling me he's a **** champion. Post your opinion about my question if you like, but don't insinuate that I'm an idiot for picking Malphite.
EDIT: And I don't understand your point about him being "worse then shaco jungle". Shaco is a great jungler and a mean ganker, he just has some bugs that haven't been fixed.
Sorry if I came off a little irritated, but I found your post rather insulting. If I misunderstood your meaning, please clarify it.
