Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to Malphite's superior poke and your lack of gap closers to punish his Q spam.
  • Post-6 you still struggle since his R disrupts your engage patterns and he can burst you faster than you can heal through his damage.

How to Trade

  • Look for short trades with Q when he steps up to CS or uses abilities, immediately backing off to avoid his E damage.
  • Only commit to extended trades when you have significant health advantage or when his key abilities are on cooldown.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely and maintaining high health through passive healing between trades.
  • Try to freeze the wave near your tower to force him to overextend for poke, making him vulnerable to jungle ganks.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't chase him when low on health as his Q slow makes escape difficult, and avoid trading when he has his full combo available.
  • Never engage with R when his R is up unless you're significantly ahead, as he can interrupt your channel and turn the fight.
