A massive creature of living stone, Malphite struggles to impose blessed order on a chaotic world. Birthed as a servitor-shard to an otherworldly obelisk known as the Monolith, he used his tremendous elemental strength to maintain and protect his progenitor, but ultimately failed. The only survivor of the destruction that followed, Malphite now endures Runeterra's soft folk and their fluid temperaments, while struggling to find a new role worthy of the last of his kind.

Malphite Strengths and Weaknesses

Where Malphite stands against every champion this patch, from ranked game stats per minute.

Strengths

  • Damage mitigated: better than 96% of champions

Weaknesses

  • Healing: below 84% of champions

Malphite ranks in the 51.8 percentile for early game strength, 62.5 percentile for late game scaling, 39.3 percentile for objective control, 55.4 percentile for support strength, 8.9 percentile for creep farming, and 10.7 percentile for damage output.

Malphite demonstrates unique performance characteristics, with win rates showing a 36.9% decrease from Iron to Master tiers. This pattern suggests that Malphite may be more accessible for newer players while facing increased difficulty against higher-skilled opponents. In Iron tier, Malphite achieves a 66.0% win rate, which gradually declines to 29.0% in Master. This trend often indicates that Malphite's strengths can be more effectively countered by experienced players who understand the champion's weaknesses and trading patterns. The declining performance (Iron (66.0%), Bronze (48.3%), Silver (51.3%), Gold (47.0%), Platinum (50.9%)) suggests that while Malphite can be effective in lower ranks where opponents may not exploit vulnerabilities, higher-tier players are better equipped to neutralize Malphite's advantages. However, this doesn't mean Malphite is unviable at higher ranks - rather, it requires more sophisticated strategies, better macro play, and careful matchup selection. Players at higher elos should focus on understanding when to pick Malphite, how to play around counters, and maximizing value in favorable matchups. Success with Malphite at higher levels demands strong game sense, positioning, and the ability to adapt playstyle based on team compositions and enemy picks.
