Malphite vs Samira Matchup Summary

Farming
5.3Malphite
5.2Samira
Malphite and Samira farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.1 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
807Malphite
699Samira
Malphite heavily out-damages Samira by 108 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Samira should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Malphite's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
12,340Malphite
11,513Samira
Malphite generates a commanding 827 more gold per game than Samira. This substantial economic advantage means Malphite consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Samira should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
1.2Malphite
0.0Samira
Malphite brings significantly more crowd control than Samira, with 1.2 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Malphite far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Samira should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,909Malphite
927Samira
Malphite vastly out-sustains Samira, healing and mitigating 982 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Malphite can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Samira is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Samira, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
