Malphite vs Nidalee Matchup Summary

The Malphite vs Nidalee matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Malphite wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Nidalee's 33.3%, giving Malphite a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Malphite dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Nidalee players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Malphite holds the advantage at every stage of the game, making this a consistently favorable matchup from lane through late game team fights. Nidalee players should look for outplays, team-dependent strategies, and picks rather than relying on scaling to win this matchup.
