Tips Against Malphite in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

CurSteel says “Valid permaban, he has very high pickrate in most elos. Flash+TP. Conqueror. You have to win early, force long trades, if you have high conqueror stacks you win every trade, don't be afraid and temporise waiting for your rotation. After first bases he starts to stack armor and you can trade less and less with him. You have 2 ways to play this: the standard way and my preferred (and more impactful) way. The standard way is to build eclipse -> shojin, get as much cs as possible and play to outscale, but this is quite passive and will not ensure you any game-winning lead. My way is to build RAVENOUS HYDRA. With this build, you play for heavy prio and to impact the map, so you want to shove every wave, proxy every time you can (don't int please, only proxy when you can't get killed), proxy under T3, rotate mid, bot, invade and deny any recall angle for malphite. This makes you very impactful on the map while the malphite is just sitting under turret last hitting and running out of mana. Think of it like a proxy riven if you have ever played her, as the playstyle is the same but she's a bit faster on the map while you have better engage. You can even build profane hydra and do the same thing if you're against 4 squishies, but you will never win against the malphite no matter what, so I don't like it. The point is that I see tiamat as the only way to play this lane without sitting under turret eating Qs on cd and giving him free map.”
vitanked says “Malphite builds armor, so he's the perfect counter to Urgot.”

Vayneified says “Malphite is the BIGGEST Vayne counter. Its really hard to play against it and you struggle a lot. Recommend to ban malphite in 99.9% of the games. Doesnt matter if he plays ap or tank he is still super strong and u have 20% of winning the lane (depends on your, his playstyle). If you play against malph take the first build with the first runes. Play it safe and try to do as much dmg as possible.Ask for jg help or try to kill him at least once if its possible if its not then just play it safe and farm till you scale and you are strong ( try not to die). If you kill him once or twice without dying THEN you are at a very good position and you have high chances of winning lanephase and game! Your main focus, Goals should be DMG to malphite, Higher cs, Maybe 1-2 roams and if you are lucky enough 1-2 kills.”
xumi_k says “Perhaps you will kill him once early, perhaps not - probably not. He won't kill you. Has TERRIBLE mana issues if he spams abilities. He can't farm without his abilities. Ward enemy jungler's path, he's good in teamfights, and it's easy for enemy jungler to gank you. But you should play for sidelanes. You can take DShield and Resolve Page with revitalize+second wind to survive his poke, but it's not super necessary. Also mind taking +9 adaptive forcce in runes instead of +10% AS as his E cuts your AS.”

Azzin says “Good malphite players will make this matchup impossible to win. They can just Q whenever you run at them and you'll never catch him. But fortunately malphite players are literal rocks so you'll find a way to capitalize on their mistakes. Otherwise you can always shove+proxy+play the map like in any tank matchup”
ExiledRain says “UGH, this guy... Power Level: This is one OF neutralizing matches, hes idea is to deny you the snowballing potential, you have small window early on to kill him few times, then its super hard and makes 0 sense to put so much effort. Game plan : Early game is your biggest window to kill him.Hes not really mechanical champion so you can just kill him early on.Block his Q with your E if he is maxing Q(With Comet rune), and chip away his shield with bone plating, and while they down just run him down. After he gets some armor he gets harder to kill and then you need to look out of his E(He slams his hands to the ground and you attack speed drops down to 0 and your Q combo just wont work) so try to E or Q out to avoid being hit by it and try to chip his passive out before trading.They would plan to hit you with R when your'e low or to setup ganks. When he gets some armor items makes no sense to lane into him, look for other ways to snowball your lead like proxy or crash and rotate.Keep in mind a 0-20 Malphite still usefull as he still can R your adc with E(reduce Attack speed) or You and win fights. That is why you should look for ways to boost yourself elsewhere. Tips: E - (Malphite spanks the ground) lowers your attack speed drastically , means your combos would be slow, so try to avoid being hit or kite away if you were.Otherwise you wont be able to do much fighting. Comet rune means he most likely gonna max Q and be less tanky early on. Block Q with your E and punish him Grasp run means he will be tanky and most likely would be maxing W(best way into Riven) because it gives good chunk of armor for free and his passive shield gonna be even stronger.He will stack grasp and will try to AA + W reset on you for chunk.Keep and eye on this. If they have bulky topside you can rush Black Cleaver in this lane helping you dealing damage.Other path is so get a Tiamat item(RAV/Profane) And farm like crazy to boost yourself with gold but this way you might risking to be killed.Another viable option is to rush Sundered Sky (usually followed by Death Dance) and just farm but this way you can proc sundered to slowly chip him down and stay healthy.And you can follow regular build path Eclipse into Sundered Sky. KEEP in mind that eventually your goal as Riven is to kill key Character in enemy team and Malphite is never one of them, this might be something like enemy ADC if its win con or MId laner, but never a Malphite.So you realistically should not build around him. Imagine enemy team have a 20-0 twitch that can 1v9...but if you nuke him and they lose that ability then Malphite is just a piece of meat to be taken down, however if you trade your life for Malphite that same fed Twitch will wipe your team for free”
Blade trickster Riven, mess with their heads by ExiledRain | Riven Player
asuratop1 says “Grasp + Sustain de Mana + Chamuscar + Doran Shield Resumidamente, é uma lane insuportável se você não jogar da forma correta, e se qualquer coisa der errado, pode virar um desastre e o Malphite ficar imortal, tenha cuidado com qualquer over. A forma correta de se jogar, é sempre manter a passiva do Malphite em CD, é a unica forma de dar dano nesse campeão. Se ele estiver de cometa na runa, sempre pule nele na hora que o cometa for te atingir depois que ele te jogar o Q, faça uma troca curta com Q+hit+w+e e recue. Mantenha isso enquanto vai pegando pressão e continue repetindo. O propósito dessa lane nunca é olhar pra matar o Malphite, isso é quase impossível. Olhe para pegar barricada e colocar farm na frente, Proxy é extremamente favorável nessa match se você conseguir impactar no mapa com seu tempo na frente, já que o clearwave do Malphite é pessimo. Mas entenda que se não conseguir fazer nada com seu tempo, é muito melhor jogar pegando barricadas. Faça um manto anula-magia e rush Tiamat, depois > Trinity > Quebrapassos e Quebracascos é a melhor build (bota de MR). Obs: sempre pingue os mia do Malphite pós 6, porque a roaming dele com o R é um flash garantido, foque em jogar side, a side do Malphite é inferior a team-fight.”
zwartebliksem says “Malphite is quite literally the definition of a perfect matchup for Sion. He has very high mana costs early, making his laning phase much weaker. Look for nice trades through the waves and look to play a bit more aggressive early. Try to keep his passive shield down, which should regenerate after not taking damage for 8 seconds. The only way for him to cancel your Q is by using his ult. Make sure you are always strong enough to fight Malphite when his ult is up.”
[25.20] Glory in Death - Sion Guide by zwartebliksem | Sion Player
forsakn says “ Levels 1–5: Malphite’s early trades with Q (Seismic Shard) + autos are strong. He can chunk you quickly and his E (Ground Slam) reduces your attack speed. Play very safe under tower and avoid trades. Wave control: Let him push. Don’t fight in the wave—focus on farming safely under tower. Trading: Avoid extended trades. If he tries to all-in, Q + W can help you create distance, but be cautious. Post-6: His R (Unstoppable Force) can delete you instantly if caught. Never overextend without vision or jungle help. Summoner Spells: Flash + Teleport is standard. Ignite can help if he dives aggressively, but defensive summoner spells are safer. Scaling: You outscale him mid-late game, but he is oppressive early. Farm safely and hit your power spikes. Malphite top is a huge early threat. Respect his all-ins, avoid trades, and focus on scaling safely until you can out-DPS him.”
