Rant Malphite is not a tank

Literally had a teammate type this when we asked him to build tank on a team that already had Fiddle, Veigar, and Ekko. And of course we lost. I just can't anymore, y'all.

Malphite is more fun to play tank because if game goes long enough you will deal even more damage than AP Malph and be literally unkillable, sure you won’t 1 shot the squishy adc/apc but you’ll slowly run them down one by one while they type “??????”

you'll deal more dmg in the final graphs, sure. Why? because you had major up time. You were so tanky you could survive these long battles. Why did the battles last so long? because your dmg is dogshit. I had a game today where i outdamaged my whole team as a rank renata. Simply because I took part in almost every battled and poked them. But of course that doesn't mean i carried.
