Vladimir vs Malphite Matchup Summary

The Vladimir vs Malphite matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 15 recent matches analyzed, Vladimir wins with a 53.3% win rate compared to Malphite's 46.7%, giving Vladimir a 6.7 percentage point advantage. Vladimir dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Malphite players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Malphite leads by 1.0s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vladimir players can confidently pick into Malphite and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Malphite away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

5.9Malphite
Vladimir significantly out-farms Malphite by 2.2 CS per minute, accumulating an estimated 32 CS lead by mid game.

Damage
951Vladimir
685Malphite
Vladimir heavily out-damages Malphite by 266 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 Vladimir's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
12,470Vladimir
9,662Malphite
Vladimir generates a commanding 2,808 more gold per game than Malphite. This substantial economic advantage means Vladimir 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
0.2Vladimir
1.2Malphite
Malphite brings significantly more crowd control than Vladimir, with 1.0 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. Vladimir should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,791Vladimir
1,470Malphite
Vladimir vastly out-sustains Malphite, healing and mitigating 321 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vladimir can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Malphite is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Malphite, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
