Malphite vs Udyr Matchup Summary

The Malphite vs Udyr matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 7 recent matches analyzed, Udyr wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Malphite's 42.9%, giving Udyr a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Malphite controls the early laning stage, but Udyr outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Malphite needs to press advantages before Udyr reaches their power spikes, while Udyr should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in healing, where Udyr leads by 238 HP healed/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Udyr has a strong advantage in this matchup. Malphite players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Udyr overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Udyr is favored during the laning phase against Malphite, winning 4 out of 4 key stat categories. Udyr holds advantages in farming, damage, gold income and crowd control, making them the stronger laner in this matchup.

Farming
3.5Malphite
4.7Udyr
Udyr significantly out-farms Malphite by 1.2 CS per minute, accumulating an estimated 18 CS lead by mid game. This substantial farming gap gives Udyr a major gold advantage and earlier item completions. Malphite players should prioritize wave management techniques like freezing near tower and using abilities efficiently to minimize the deficit.
Damage
649Malphite
985Udyr
Udyr heavily out-damages Malphite by 336 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 Udyr's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
8,485Malphite
10,502Udyr
Udyr generates a commanding 2,017 more gold per game than Malphite. This substantial economic advantage means Udyr consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Malphite should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
1.1Malphite
1.3Udyr
Both Malphite and Udyr provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.2s/min difference), meaning neither has a significant advantage in locking down opponents for ganks or team fights. Lane ganks are equally effective for both sides.
Healing
147Malphite
385Udyr
Udyr heals 238 HP/min more than Malphite, enough to reset trades and stay in lane through pressure. Malphite should buy an anti-heal item early and look to win trades quickly, before Udyr can heal them back.
Durability
1,419Malphite
1,804Udyr
Udyr mitigates 385 more damage per minute than Malphite through shields and resistances, so Udyr can take slightly longer trades. This is durability, not healing: anti-heal does nothing against it.
