How Malphite plays
Editorial Reading of the kit above, not a sourced claim - the numbers inside it were checked against the client before publishing.
For most of a game Malphite plays like a wall with legs, then Unstoppable Force erases half a fight from clear across the map. Granite Shield builds up passively whenever he avoids damage for a few seconds, absorbing a chunk of incoming punishment, which rewards patient positioning over constantly being in the fray. Seismic Shard slows and steals movement speed from its target, handy both for chasing and for peeling someone off an ally. Brutal Strikes quietly splashes his auto attack damage to nearby enemies and can be activated for a temporary armor and attack damage boost. Ground Slam scales its damage off his own armor, so a heavily defensive build actually punches surprisingly hard. Unstoppable Force is the reason he's feared even from a distance, a long range charge that knocks up everything in its path, capable of initiating a fight or scattering an enemy engage before it even reaches his team. He's slow without much personal burst outside that ultimate, so his value is mostly about when and where he starts a fight.

Plays well with
Ground Slam and 25.75 base armor shut down attack-speed carries; percent-health damage goes straight through the armor plan.
"In lane" means both champions are played in the same role in Classic; "across the map" represents cross-lane dynamics (e.g. jungler ganks, roaming supports). All matchups evaluated strictly within the 63 Classic launch champions.
