Bruiser Malphite

[quote=Confehdehrehtheh]How viable is Malphite in a bruiser role? If you already have a tank, would a Malphite stacking armor and AD with maybe a little MR be acceptable? I only ask because I've been playing jungle Malphite lately and Wriggle's Lantern gives a good amount of all the stats that he needs which gave me the idea of building more AD on him instead of MR. He does a shit ton more damage, but obviously gets eaten up by AP carries. He's also a great initiator for when your main tank isn't around and could still easily dive towers since you're going to be stacking armor. Thoughts?[/quote]

[quote=gwadzila]Malphite as a bruiser is fine, but not a first choice. One of the things I like about Malph (besides that he's rock solid) is that he can be played AP, AP tank, Tanky Derps, Tank, DPS, even support a little bit. He builds what he pleases (Mundo can't, he doesn't have mana.) and ROCKS EVERYONE'S WORLD! YEEEEEEEEAAAHH METALLICA! Anyhues Sure I would rather have a bruiser Lee Sin on my team than bruiser Malph, but that doesn't mean I WOULDN'T want a bruiser Malph. He can definitely pull it off. (I need to try AP Malphite, seems awesome)[/quote]

[quote=theBMB]I suppose you could build AP on malphite, he's got decent scaling, he could probably work as tanky DPS if you focus on armor instead of health. Sunfire cape or thornmail, atma's, frozen mallet or triforce, frozen heart or randuin's, maybe even tiamat since it synergizes with his w.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Trinity+Sunfire+Randuin You've got a lot of damage right there. Only get Wriggle if you're jungling (I think).[/quote]

[quote=Dante Rebellion]Mmmm I tried playing malphite with trinity tbh.. just stacking up tanky works good on him[/quote]

[quote=Jvstm]Tiamat is awesome on him. Sunfire + Thornmail. Mallet + Atma's Some kind of boots. I'd probably go Mercs. It's actually a good build. I use it about every time I play Malphite.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Anything past trinity seems to be not very worth it. I've tried him and I've been dissatisfied with the results. He comes out feeling like a really bad Lee Sin in every way when you do it. Then again. He always feels like that. I think the only way to play Malfee is armor stack / CDR vrs team with lots of AD.[/quote]

[quote=theBMB]i tried DPS malphite in a bot game and it worked well enough. Zerker greaves > Sunfire > Phage > Atma's > Frozen heart > Frozen Mallet[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Jvstm] Tiamat is awesome on him. Thornmail. Mallet It's actually a good build. I use it about every time I play Malphite.[/quote] NO, it's crap. GTFO[/quote]

[quote=Xenasis]I got Malphite for Bravery once - Trinity works extremely well for him.[/quote]
