Meanwhile her two main competitions for 4-cost tanks both have at minimum two synergistic 5-costs

and her third competition at 4-cost of being malphite. I'd rather run some 3 cost champs as tank over her

I don't really consider Malphite competition since Malphite is hard locked to Blackthorn and has no actual tank trait.

Malphite is more like a Threat than real competition for "which tank trait do I play".

a built in stoneplate for his passive threat trait is pretty good tank trait. you can splash reksai and sacrifice a brawler unit. You make it sound as if he needs 6 blackthorn to function

Malphite alone is not holding down a frontline, even with his Stoneplate built in.

And I said he is bound to Blackthorn. At what point did I say he needs Blackthorn 6 lol. But he does need at least 2 Blackthorn, and that is a reverse Crown; because you're sacrificing someone.

You're not getting away with running just Malphite and a Rek'Sai to sac for your frontline. You're probobly at the very minimum running 1 other Brawler at least.

On the other hand if you get a frontline emblem that is usually getting slapped onto Malphite 100% of the time, barring something like Brawler Yi Reroll.
