Malphite Top matchup tips

  1. Malphite vs Jayce Top - Malphite's armor blunts much of Jayce's physical damage, and Jayce's mains describe Malphite's R as a constant kill and teamfight threat. Jayce can still use Hammer Stance(E) to create space, but must avoid giving Malphite a clean engage.
  2. Malphite vs Aatrox Top - Malphite's armor reduces damage from Aatrox's The Darkin Blade(Q), undercutting much of Aatrox's physical lane pressure. Aatrox can pressure before that armor is built, but players advise pivoting away from solo duels afterward; that lane reversal fits Malphite's modest LOW ELO advantage.
  3. Malphite vs Vayne Top - Malphite's targeted Q poke steals movement speed, and Ground Slam(E) cuts attack speed, making it difficult for Vayne to maintain the repeated attacks her damage needs. If he chips her down, Unstoppable Force(R) gives him a reliable all-in threat.
  4. Malphite vs Riven Top - Riven's short trades and all-ins rely on physical hits and passive-empowered attacks; Malphite's armor reduces that damage, while Ground Slam(E) cuts the attack speed she uses to weave those attacks. Once Malphite survives the early levels and buys armor, Riven has a much harder time turning early pressure into a lasting duel advantage.

How these matchup statistics are calculated

Counter and synergy statistics use Ranked Solo/Duo games, exclude matches shorter than 600 seconds, and group results by patch window, region, rank scope, and champion role.

Pairwise pages use a rolling three-patch window and compare observed win rate with a log-odds expected win rate based on each champion's role-adjusted baseline; listed pairs require at least 1,000 games.
