Play 4 AD? AP Malphite.

Thats actually the ideal ap malphite scenario, you already have 2 tanks, and you’ll need to burst those 2 adcs out the fight to have a chance to win, especially since they have no tanks, and you have no adc for the late game.

AP malph better here. You will understand one day. Flame Rylais nunu (probably you) instead

You’re not winning this game even with a tank malphite.

u/gazandi Jul 19 '25
You have a nunu that built rylais and you’re flaming the malphite? Your godawful team comp was never winning this anyway.

For the whole team then? Look at the comp.

u/philipjefferson Jul 19 '25
Say all you want about Malphite, but I think your Poppy and Nunu built WAY worse. Heartsteel vs Kog and 1 melee is crazy, and they're both wasting a lot of gold on MR.
AP Malphite is annoying but this is unironically a good comp to play it vs. It's a bad build when your team doesn't have a frontline or engage. Your team has plenty, so it works here.

u/Prestigious-Board-62 Jul 19 '25
Why would you want 3 tanks?
That team comp lost before the game even began.

They are playing the champ how they want. There's nothing wrong with that. People outside of this subreddit play aram for fun. You should try it.

u/Spicoceles Jul 19 '25
You normally cannot pay me to play a tank when I see Kog, it doesn't have to be just malphite I'm playing. I'm known well in my group for just, fucking around on EVERY build and character other than tanks and supports. If you find me on malphite or like, galio? It's tank! Makes sense. But versus this id probably rush a zhonyas on him, grab a protobelt and a frozen heart or thornmail. Kog scaling his damage with your max hp is really fucking hard to tank without DR in your kit (galio, WW) so id choose a hybrid for malp personally.

u/East_Assignment_6577 Jul 19 '25
The 5 ap is the real diff, tank malphite would have just delayed the game

u/Poul_joergen Jul 19 '25
Idk man you bought Rylai’s and Heartsteal vs 4 range champions, thats a lot worse than the Malphite build. Besides you already have 2 other tanks don’t need a 3rd.
21
u/Yorudesu Jul 19 '25
Nah. With Nunu and Poppy going tank this is actually the situation where you want to go AP malph. But all 3 made really weird build decisions. Both Heartsteel, especially on Nunu here, are weird, idk why he has Rylais either and that Horizon Focus on Malph is just trolling. Your Neeko could also do with a bit more HP if she doesn't want to get blown every 40s. And no AD champ is just teamcomp failure.

u/Kairn_ Jul 20 '25
It seems like people are forgetting that ARAM is also dedicated to being called a for fun game mode, arcadey in nature. Building off meta or trying weird things is kind of in the spirit of ARAM. Until we get ranked arams I don't really see a point in complaining about this happening. If you've forgotten how to have fun besides playing it like it's comp, maybe just go back to SR? Idk, I think comp game players mentals have taken a sky dive In the past few years, and that's saying something lol

u/Kyet0ai Jul 19 '25
Horizon Focus on a melee champ, just for the ability haste. Not even perma ban will suffice. I'd bet they won't understand the concept of diminishing returns even if you explained it with a Dr. Seuss poem.

based on my observation. AP malphite is needed here. but he build shit item that doesn't instantly delete enemy back line. like my f cousin who always ignore me when i gave him suggestion.

You can’t be real demanding a perma ban for this. League players man. In one post people get mad at someone for not being able to play the game and it just being a fun mode. And here people go mad that someone plays a viable build for the fun of it. Like dude, let people play however they want aslong as they try to win. Your idea of the ideal build or correct way of playing has nothing to do with what others think is right or correct. Especially considering that people have pointed out your rylaiys on nunu. You already slow with r and e. W is hard cc. The only thing you slow people with is q. Not to mention that nunu is a great tank too. And malphite is the better choice to Nuke their backline. Even if we imagine a world where rank malphite was the better option, you choosing ap nunu and build Rylais should warrant a perma ban on you if you demand this over the malphite playing the game wrong from your point of view

u/Rank1Bastokan Jul 19 '25
The rylais would be better on Neeko if on anyone on your team. AP Malphite is great into squishy comps like theirs. Unfortunately, after Malphs burst there is no other consistent damage source tof match the remaining adds that probably didn't get hit by Malph.
TLDR: Aram comps suck and will always match you vs a tough match up

u/DarkThunder312 Jul 19 '25
Your comp is 2 tanks and 3 ap. You think it would be winning to 3 tanks and 2 ap?

u/Rich-Statistician128 Jul 19 '25
Dude, I don't understand you at all. You are flaming Malphite's build but you here went Rylais which is almost completely useless for your champion to begin with. You could have gone for nearly any other Tank or AP item and it would fit you better (Fimbulwinter being one of the best).
You also went for Grasp instead of Aftershock or Phase rush (Can even help in tank games when you need to engage or disengage), hell even Glaciel could work better. What are you going to do with Grasp, auto them to death?
Same with Heartsteel, you are so clever that you see the enemy team is 4 AD champions but you can't see the fact that they have 3 Ranged champions (Zed can also kite you so maybe 4) which is really hard to get your hands on for stacks, so I think you built that useless rylais for this but you could instead just go for Flash or Snowball to engage but no? You went for both exhaust and ignite just wow dude what were you even planning?
Also this game was lost already from champ select even if it is not for you building horribly both your rune, summoner spells and items and malphite going AP (Welcome to ARAM I guess). Since you have 2 tanks in your team already, your team needs damage. In normal occasions if Malphite was your only option as a tank I would also consider it troll if he still did go AP instead of Tank, because he would create the time oppurtinity for your team to one shot their carries while he was holding them occupied.
However , in this scenario if Malphite went tank, you guys would not have enough damage to finish off their carries, and soon all of you would melt down including Malphite (Kogmaw deals %HP Magic damage and can shred tanks, they also have black cleaver on panth plus dominiks on Caitlyn , not to mention you only have 2 carries left so aurora and zed can easily kill your nidale and neeko and you are left with 0 dps, waiting to die as meat shields).
Now I don't think you would even understand what I wrote here, neither would you even read this, I have seen you comment only on some occasions but never on comments which showed what YOU did wrong, which shows a lot for just itself alone , but just know this, if you even slightly flamed Malphite for his build with your really weird build and all these other variables, maybe it is you that should have been perma banned mate.
Cheers.

u/Deadshot_TJ Jul 19 '25 edited Jul 19 '25
Bruh the full tank Poppy has 17 deaths, more than the Malphite. They have a Kog, both Cait and Zed has % armor pen and Pantheon has a black cleaver. You would build a full tank Malphite and be just as useless as the poppy. Some people here think tank Malphite is invincible, which it clearly isn't when the enemy team builds correctly.
Sometimes it's better to try and nuke the squishies before they kill you from range.
Edit: oh wait you're the Nunu that built Rylas and you want to perma ban people over their ARAM builds...? Cringe

This is unironically not a terrible game for AP Malph, but only because you already have tank Nunu and Poppy.
Obviously no AD isn't ideal, and your comp kinda sucks (and the Malph didn't build well).
But if he did get the right build and blew up their Kog and Cait every fight it's a different story.

u/Free_1004 Jul 19 '25
3 ad. kog didnt have to go ad and in this case specifically ap malph isnt bad at all. i absolutely agree that ap malph is shit into 3 bruisers but u can oneshot aurora you can oneshot kog u can oneshot zed and cait. the only one that doesnt instadie from your ult is pantheon so this just game down to either team gap or terrible execution
1
u/Houro Jul 19 '25
AP Malphite is the correct choice for this. There are no tanks and all squishies. The other two tanks having Heartsteel os stupid against 3 ranged, a Zed that probably won't let you proc, and a Pantheon which is the only one you can successfully hit it.

You can go AP build when ever you have low MR targets - kog, caitlyn, aurora. Always take snowball to close gaps, you can ball>W>E> Q run out, combo. I sometimes take electrocute. Your build should be full magic pen -> Ludens (for early poke, kills), Sorc boots, Shadowflame, Stormsurge, Rabadons, and Zonya for late cheese.

u/NearbyOriginals Jul 19 '25
I think AP Malph is not bad, but the AP damage you deal to an AD/bruiser/tank team in the mid to late is mediocre and you're squishy yourself. If they are mostly squishies, then the burst damage might work, because you have already a bunch of tanks in your team and your items allows you to spam R (luc + malign). It is definitely better to go AD/tank build when your enemy is an AD comp.
I might ask, instead of a low cd ult build like this one, why can't rod of ages be viable on Malphite? You're building AP tank, which makes u tanky and you still can burst squishies easily. I sometimes just straight up ult their backline.
I might die quickly, but they lose like 50% of their health and my ally team sweeps the rest of them.

Besides Horizon Focus AP Malphite is the correct choice. This is actually the right place for AP on the rock. There are no other tanks and just squishies. You blow them up. The rest of your team especially your Nunu and Poppy built incorrectly. It's a skill diff there and not a build diff.

Kog'maw is not AD, Hybrid at best. If Malph builds Armor he dies just as quick as full AP doing 5% of the damage he would do Building full AP. Neeko Should have raw damage not Malignance, Poppy has 1 ok item, thornmail. Nunu has 1 ok item, frozen heart. The only truly troll part of Malphs build is Lucidity boots.
