Malphite vs Jhin Matchup Summary

Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Malphite wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Jhin's 50.0%, giving Malphite a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Malphite holds a slight edge in both the early and late game, but the margins are thin enough that individual skill and jungle attention will often determine the outcome.

Damage
765Malphite
962Jhin
Jhin heavily out-damages Malphite by 197 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Malphite should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Jhin's sustained damage advantage take over.

Utility
