Why is Malphite and Zac not played in LCS? Why is Malphite and Zac not played in LCS? DaveRod (EUW) submitted in Esports. SO WHY DO NONE OF THEM HAVE A SINGLE GAME IN THE LCS THIS SPLIT????!!! (also, im not mentioning Vi cause Vi's ult and CC are targeted to only a singular champion whereas Zac and Malph can affect an entire team). Mid if you want to win. Normally top, sometimes jungle or mid. And he's good because he dumps on a lot of AD champs and even if he doesn't win his lane he can still win games with his ult. Milkydragon102 posted.

[Continued] Experimental Manamune & Muramana Changesricklessabandon has posted on update concerning the experimental Manamune and Muramana change he's been trying out during this PBE, looks like the build path changes will be shipping in 4.12 but the Muramana active change will not and will be pulled from the build .'update! (2014.07.10 @ 03:06) okay, got some really helpful stuff from the first iteration! i'm going to go forward with the build path changes to manamune in the 4.12 patch, and continue explorations with various muramana actives. the next version should hit the pbe sometime after 4.12 goes live. until then, i've updated the item details above. also, there were several bugs affecting tear, manamune, and muramana due to a one-time refactor we did that should all be worked out. just need to get the new tooltips in after 4.12 ships and then things should look much more normal! oh! one last thing… i did want to mention that i've been reading every comment posted here as well as any tweets that mention me and a handful of forum/reddit threads. i haven't had time to directly respond to them unfortunately, but they're definitely read and count for something! muramana (last updated 2014.07.10 @ 03:06) this will temporarily be off of the pbe while we prepare the 4.12 patch [added] passive :: gains +10 bonus true damage (increased by 2% of maximum Mana if any number of azure stacks are active). also gain 1% attack speed for every stack of azure active. [remade] active :: spend 60 mana to gain 10 stacks of azure, then doubles the current mana cost and stack gain of this active. azure has a fixed duration of 9 seconds, and when it expires this active resets its mana cost and stack gain and then goes on cooldown (30 second cooldown). edit: to clarify, the passive mana-to-ad conversion from 'awe' is unchanged! Summoner's Rift Update temporarily removedAs the current PBE patch nears it's live release, the Summoner's Rift update has been removed and is no longer available for testing. Expect it to return again soon!Balance Changes* Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical changes. The changes you see below may be lacking context or other accompanying changes that didn't make it in - don't freak out! These are not official notes.

Sona
'Quick Update!
Just wanted to let you know that Sona's Update will be off the PBE for a few days. This is simply due to how our builds progress through development, and she'll be back very soon with more changes, more polish and a number of bug fixes.
Sorry for the disruption! I'll be leaving this post stickied so anyone who got in a last last game has a place to give us their thoughts. Thanks to everyone who has already helped so much already!' ]

Threats & Synergies
Show All
Blitzcrank
He hooks you, but you're tanky enough that you won't get bursted down. You can just E the enemy to start a fight, or just Q the blitz to walk away.
Thresh
Same as blitzcrank, he hooks you but you can usually tank the damage that comes through.
Nautilus
While his damage isn't too much of a threat, he does have enough cc to lock you down.
CaitlynWhy Does Malphite Do So Much Dmg In Mac
When you have your passive shield on, you can step on traps and take on headshot damage. Shes also fairly immobile so its easy to kill her at level 6, and after.
Draven
His axes hurt, but if your passive shield is up, then its easy to take them on. Plus hes also immobile so easy to take him down with your ult
Leona
She's very similar to malphite in that she's a tanky support that can lock people down. However, you can trade autos with her and come out on top. Plus, if she engages your carry, you can always engage hers, and you'll have a better damage.
Brand
This is a tough lane as he can poke you from a safe distance and his combo hurts a lot. Plus, he's magic damage so your itemization suffers as well since you want to build armor when possible.
Zyra
Magic damage poke with a pretty good all in at 6 - she's pretty scary. However, she is also pretty squishy so once you reach 6, easy to combo.
Ezreal
He can follow up on your ult and burst enemy down. Plus, your pre-6 needs your adc to play safe and ezreal is just the champion for that.
Kalista
Her ult and your ult mean a double knockup. She can also save you if you ult in at the wrong time. Her early levels are strong enough that you won't get bullied too much in lane.

She does have a safe laning phase so its good for your pre-6 weakness. While she does take longer to kill enemies, if she ults them, then you'll be fine. Plus her passive slows means you can chase them while autoing with w.
Miss Fortune
Easy kill at 6. She can also farm and poke safely pre-6, which covers your weakness.
Why Does Malphite Do So Much Dmg FreeChampion Build Guide
Disclaimer: This is my first Malphite support guide so it might not be as 'Rock Solid' as I claim. But, I love playing him as a tank support and thought I might share my joy with the world.
Why Malphite support? 1) His passive means you get a TON of armor; no need to be afraid of heavy hitter adcs like Caitlyn/Draven/Jhin. You can eat as much as those cupcakes as you want :) 2) He mainly goes in at level 6 and its a pretty strong all in and ganking support so mostly guaranteed kill 3) He offers pretty much nothing pre-6, and this is the beauty of it. Too many adcs i played with didn't know how to trade in lanes properly. And since everyone knows Malphite doesnt do anything pre-6,they have no choice but to farm safely thus preventing my adcs from dying on me too many times 4) Teamfights are awesome cuz everyone follows a Malphite for some reason. you may not get it with other champs like Leona. Also you are the main character since everyone is counting on you to start the fight. 5) If enemy is ad heavy and/or your team needs a tank, Malphite is pretty gold efficient due to his passive.
Q: Damages and Slows 1 enemy and gives you movement speed
W: Increases your armor passively, and increases your auto damage for a few seconds actively. E: Damages and Slows attack speed of nearby enemies R: You throw yourself to an area to damage and knock enemies up in the air. This is your main source of engage, and the start to your team's teamfighting strat. Usually other champions like yasuo and orianna will follow up after you ult. Max R whenever possible. Usually I max W to get more armor to tank in enemy adc attacks. Plus this makes your armor stat more gold efficient. Then, max E 2nd if they have attack speed focused enemies (jax,xin,fiora, other adcs). Otherwise, maxing Q 2nd is good as well if you want to give chase since it gives a good slow.
Starting Items: Usually you want to go the relic shield for extra hp and its easier to proc gold income than spellthief (and saves you mana). If enemy lane seems weak, go refillable potion to save the environment. If they are poke heavy/all in heavy, 3 hp potions might be good as well.
You then build items depending on how the lane is going. Ideally you want a mixture of HP, ARMOR, and CDR (especially since you want to engage with your R as much as possible). Then, get mercs if enemy is cc heavy/ap heavy. I rush iceborn personally because it is a cool item and also because it gives 20% cdr, an aoe slow, armor , and the passive damage scales with your armor passive. Then, it depends: Are there AD enemies that heal a lot? Thornmail. Are there AD enemies that crit a lot? Randuins. Are there AP enemies that hurt a lot? Spirit Visage. Are you having long fights and need sustain? Warmogs might be good. Do you have AP carries in your team mostly? Abyssal mask is good. Do you want to be like the AP Carry while being tanky? Liandry/Rod of Ages isn't too bad. Unfortunately, with your support gold Rod of Ages can't stack very well so it's better to buy the armor items first that can be bought in small parts as compared to a 850 g investment into the Blasting Wand.
Runes are mostly your choice. I prefer going Resolve and Precision. Guardian is good because it gives your carry a shield (since you can't help them in lane otherwise). Demolish is good to demolish towers. Conditioning is good for getting more resistances and helps bring your armor up. Revitalize is good for regen and shielding.
Tenacity is good since you can just focus on getting ninja tabis and not worry about mercs. Triump is good to get extra gold, but mostly to keep you in the fight longer. As a support, you have low gold access meaning less defences and staying in fight longer will be good for you. You can go Inspiration secondary if you want extra potions for lane sustain. Since Patch 9.23 removed heals from relic shield, this might be a better option sometimes. Why Does Malphite Do So Much Dmg Mean
Are you scared of AD champions because they hurt too much and as a support, you don't have gold to buy armor and you just want to stay alive? HAVE NO FEAR, SUPPORT MALPHITE IS HERE!!!
Have fun playing him and feel free to experiment. Feel free to leave comments below and if this gets received well, I can write more guides for other champions I play. And if this doesn't go well? Then, I retire from writing guides. Maybe. We'll see. Thanks for reading! Comments are closed.
