Malphite

[quote=Svingas]Alright, so my main tank right now is Amumu who gets banned very often. I am interested in learning Malphite, but I have a question about his mana. In a couple practice games, I have found that he has big mana issues. The top guides on this site all suggest getting the summoner spell Clarity, but I would like to hear other's thoughts on what would be the best way to address his mana issue, whether you agree with [[Clarity]] or not.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]Don't spam early game, and early Frozen Heart. gg[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]tbh I sometimes get Clarity too tbh. Rushing Frozen Heart probably does work though.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]I used to way back when. Don't. Wasting a summoner, trust me. ALL IT HELPS WITH is being able to spam your Q a bit more early game, big whoop. I'd rather just save my low mana for when I need it in clutch situations, and having a spell that helps me all game, in teamfights and out (flash, ghost, exhaust, cleanse, all good picks on a tank) Also consider mana and mana reg runes, and mastery specs for mana and mana reg.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]Clarity is a bad spell. Start out with sapphire crystal + 2 health potions. Depending on your lane matchup, turn it into either a catalyst, sheen, or a glacial shroud. Those items should be turned into a banshee's veil, trinity force, and frozen heart respectively.[/quote]

[quote=da_neo]Well, it´s true that Malphite needs Mana like a thirsty Kid needs Water in the desert. BUT, it´s not worth it. IF you still thin you need that mana, either buy early frozen heart OR use Teleport. As teleport is much more versatile. If I have a Ryze in my Team I´m kinda forced to pick Teleport to keep up with my mana usage. As Ryze benefits much more from frozenheart it would be overkill to buy two for one team. If I find myself facing a heavy mage team, it´s also interesting to buy chalice of harmony. It nulifies your mana usage and also adds some nifty tifty MR to you. _____________________________________________________ I would suggest you to wait what others have to say to this suggestion. I kinda rarely play malphite and IF I do, it works. Best regards, da_neo[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]Hm, da neo, not bad idea with the TP, good suggestion, +Rep :DDDD[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi][[chalice of harmony]] /thread. No seriously ^^ It's a fantastic item and it fits perfectly with him.[/quote]

[quote=Svingas]That would solve the problem very nicely. At what point would you suggest getting it?[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]ASAP. Nice defenses and mana regen which you need.[/quote]
