How to play it

Don't trade through E
When Malphite hits you with E your attack speed is slashed 30-50%: disengage and stop trading autos until it wears off, then keep burning his mana.
Your R window
At 6 your R's armour shred, magic damage and AD let you find a real kill: bait out his R in a 1v1, then look for the fight while it's down.
Play for manaburn
Don't chase kills early: use short clicks to bait his abilities, burn his mana, and snowball a big CS lead instead. Malphite can't out-damage your sustain.
Never fight Malphite clumped up in a choke point: his R can land a 5-man knock-up and win the entire fight.
