Matchup plan

Malphite takes First Strike to compensate for the gold loss from you taking tower plates, and even overtake you. Malphite builds Liandry's Anguish and Riftmaker for sustained damage, since burst items can't kill your high health pool.

Sion vs Malphite · Top lane matchup

01

Core game plan

Malphite can solo-defend your split push in the late game, and after his core items come online in the mid game, he beats you in a 1v1. In the early game, you also have to watch out for his jungle ganks, making the matchup overall passive.

How a strong Malphite player plays

  1. 1

    R engage combo

    Malphite will use R to knock you up when you go for a last hit, then follow with E and W. Watch for his R windup and back off.

  2. 2

    Wait for W shield to expire before Q

    When you activate your W, he won't use Q because the shield blocks Q damage. Wait for the shield to expire before using Q to poke.

  3. 3

    Perfect R angle with jungler

    He can't stop you from taking plates, but he will look for the perfect angle to R and set up a kill with his jungler. Don't overstay for plates.
