How to play it

✓

Respect his W

Skip the all-in while he's healthy: his attack-speed reduction plus W damage is strong if he can stand his ground and fight back.

✓

Taunt and out

It's mostly fine to taunt in, hit three times, and get out: just don't commit the full all-in on a healthy Malphite.

✓

Predictable trades

His trading patterns are very predictable: place your blade and dragthrough whenever he steps up to hit your CS.

✕

Never go for the all-in while Malphite is still healthy: his slow plus W damage win the stand-and-fight.
