How to Use Malphite Counter Data
Every matchup listed here, showing which champions Malphite struggles against and which it beats, comes from live ranked Top lane data. Right now Wukong, Sylas and Zac give Malphite the most trouble, with its weakest win rates in the current sample. Wukong is the hardest of them: Malphite takes only 40.2% of its 251 logged games against him. Malphite holds up well against Vayne, Xin Zhao and Gnar, so those are the safer matchups to expect.
Each card displays Malphite’s win rate in that matchup along with the game count behind it, and bigger samples deserve more weight: a pairing with tens of thousands of games says far more than one with a few hundred. Easy, Even and Hard tags are derived from the win rate itself (under 48% is Hard, over 52% is Easy) and serve only as a quick guide, not as a separate statistic. The figures come from ranked games at Emerald and above in every region on patch 16.13.1, and update automatically every 48 hours, so they shift as the meta does. For the best items and runes, see the current Malphite build; for abilities and the full kit, visit the Malphite champion page.
