With the ap malphite buff I decided to go and give it a try. I tried at first following the same build path as people do on ap chogath and I noticed the insane damage malphite can pull off with his all in. So I kept testing and every game I have played with it I have won lane. It is really fun and I would recommend trying it out.

Pros:
Really easy high damage poke.
AD champs once he gets armor don't do much to him.
His ap scaling is now really high with the buff to his e.
Cons:
Weak to mr.
Very low skill cap as he is very easy to play with 1 skill shot that is almost impossible to miss.
