How I play Malphite is very much a peel playstyle. If you want to go AP then this guide is not for you. When you play AP you want to be selfish with you ults and just try to burst a carry down. Now don't get me wrong AP Malphite is some of the most fun you can have in league of legends, the playstyle I use just makes him more relevant no matter if you are ahead or behind.

[*] Use you ults to peel

[*] It is a smart idea to only trade with your Q when your passive shield is up and if you go comet to have them both up to proc at the same time.

[*] Make sure you use your E as soon as someone gets near your carry (Make sure you are ontop of this said Diver) or right when you go in to all in. I will always use my E before my W because you are not trying to damage them you are trying to use your E to its fullest potential.

I do plan on going more in-depth with this guide when I play more games. This is the bare minimum of my guide and happy you gave it a read :)
