Malphite vs Yorick Matchup Summary

The Malphite vs Yorick matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 129 recent matches analyzed, Yorick wins with a 56.6% win rate compared to Malphite's 43.4%, giving Yorick a 13.2 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Yorick controls the early laning stage, but Malphite outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Yorick needs to press advantages before Malphite reaches their power spikes, while Malphite should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Malphite leads by 0.7s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Yorick 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 Yorick 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.

Yorick dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 68.3% win rate — a 36.5 percentage point lead over Malphite. This lopsided early game means Yorick can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Malphite is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 54.5% win rate — 9.1 points above Yorick. Extended games heavily favor Malphite, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Yorick must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Malphite reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Malphite survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
