i know it's a bad comparison, but justifying putting him top cuz he has huge burst.. is just bad..

Malphite is a 5th pick if the enemy team is full of AD.

Regardless, it's not a trollpick. The only person on that team who trollpicked was you. :P

It's not like you were playing a super srs 2000 elo ranked game, let them play what they want.

Malphite is good counter pick to some top picks. But is easily countered himself if first picked.

Team 1 picks Wukong or Talon. Team 2 picks Malph. Malph is far too sturdy to be assassinated and gets free shield to say sustained. Wukong and Talon lack sustaining power against Malph's poke. Malph wins the lane.

On the other hand.

Team 1 picks Malph team 2 picks Nasus. Nasus free farms Q because Malph can not fight him til 6 and by then he's too strong.

There really isn't such thing as a "perfect" top laner. Every champion has their strong and weak match ups.

All that to say...Malph is viable.
A tank that can't bring the hurt gets ignored.

Malphite is a beast at top and one of the most underrated champs in the game.
If you troll because of that, I'm glad I never had to play with you.

Malphite solo top is strong as **** against champs with no sustain and autoattackers.

He counters the **** out of Tryn.

Malph gets destroyed by most good top laners.
His poke is pretty decent and damage is ok, but his mana-regen is really ****ty and he's not durable enough to make up for it.

Sure, I haven't seen nor played him since buffs, but they didn't buff him a lot.

You don't Max Q. You go E.

No one can duel Malphite. Only one that even stands a chance is Lee sin.
