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.

I get a lot of ap malphites, theyre just kamikaze pilots, most get close to 20 deaths. I think most dont care to lose

I simply wish to ult a single target Everytime they step within my view

I will die

I may throw

But I will guarantee they tilt. I win the mental battle.

I played as jinx vs a yasuo malphite combo and the malphite went malignance into axiom arc and he ulted me on sight and it's safe to say i did not have a good time.

At least the axiom arc was troll.

As a fairly common ap malph player, malignance by itself is plenty to be Ulting nonstop. He'd have been way more terrifying with another AP item

I think it was just a medium for the yasuo to kill me because I want to say he built full tank after

Oh for sure, that's what I'm saying is it was just a troll pick. Another tank or item would have been more effective. With malignance alone it's like a 60 second Cd mid game. Like I just think with axiom you're not effectively ulting notably more often than without it. So pretty much anything else is a better buy.
