If you leave base, you're dead. AP Malphite just One-Shots every time they respawn

[@BasicallyMogar]

If anyone's curious: Malphite doesn't get movespeed from Qing a grub because they, like all epic monsters, are immune to all CC (besides Stasis). And Malph only gets speed equal to the raw amount of movespeed the target lost from the ability.

[@loudwhispre9406]

Was gonna comment this, glad to see someone else is also aware of a core game mechanic

[@Handsy_McGee]

@@loudwhispre9406 Niche game mechanic? Does anyone else even have speed vamp or the like, or is this a Malphite-specific interaction? I mean I dunno, if it's only relevant to 1 of 168 champs, on 1 ability, on a small percentage of targets, I wouldn't call that "core game mechanic". Hell, the 8-year-challenger-player didn't realize what was up immediately.

Hey y’all! This is a relatively common fact that you may know, but flamingos are actually born developing gray feathers! The pink color of flamingos comes from a chemical in their diets known as beta-carotene, the same chemical primarily composing shrimps and, as the name suggests, carrots. While carrots gain their orange hue from beta-carotene, flamingos develop pink feathers by fusing the carotene in their bodies and turning them into a chemical family known as carotenoids, gaining a pinker hue! Another fun fact about flamingos is their mating habits! Like many birds, flamingos are a primarily monogamous species, finding one mate and cohabitating for life!

Its cool to see that you actually go Lich Bane as well. As someone that LOVES playing AP Malphite, I rarely ever see other AP Malphs build Lich Bane. As you explained, its like having another ability. Plus once you spend your ultimate, AP Malphite's combat ability really drops. But with Lich Bane, you're not still a threat even with ultimate down due to adding Lich bane ontop of your ability spam.

[@Jude-yk9uc]

The Fuwamoco original song dropped earlier what are your thoughts on this Mr Pecan?

[@zreed545]

Peekin saw how frustrated you were missing the kills on talon in the early game, just though i would console you by reminding you that talon has the highest base MR of an champ in lol at lvl1 and 2nd highest at lv18 only being out scaled by sylas in MR. Even if talon builds zero MR items void staff is often the highest dps item you can build 2nd vs talon. Obviously thats not the case for all the other champs.

[@starliaghtsz8400]

Fun fact, you can dodge comet even on abilities that slow, as a qol thing, comet dosnt fire straight on top of you but kinda the direction youre going, so if you turn around as soon as comet fires and run the opposie way you cab dodge i

[@jamest3188]

AD malphite is equally hilarious because of the aa reset. leona too, the tanks have just such great early game base stats that if you build them with some flare they are hard counters for meta champs.

[@EHMSL1226]

AP malphite is the most underrated pick in the game. Always useful and great in lane...deceptively good dueling power with W early.

Grubs are immune to crowd control too like other epic monsters. Your Q steals movespeed so you technically stole 0 MS from them.

first game was vs buttabrain the worst player at that level that always gets carried 300lp into masters by a khazix one trick and then he loses it all again solo.

[@A1phaz0ne]

Also for hindsight, looking back on this game, do you feel that camping Smolder with your R throughout the game would have been an effective tactic? For the sake of impeding his stacking? You've played Smolder, so you surely already know what it felt like to have someone making it difficult for you to acquire your stacks lol. The longer it takes Smolder to hit 225, the longer he's a garbage champion after all.

[@shieldgenerator7]

2:47 wow you actually live with 5 hp

[@Flairsurfer]

33:35 that leona play was clean as fuck. Predicted the flash holy moly

[@PekinWoof]

Leona E actually lets you flash even when hit, I don't think she predicted there. It's just how the interaction works (Hit by Leona E -> Flash -> She will follow it)

[@Dyanosis]

It's as Pekin said. Re-watch that part and see that she did NOT throw her E toward his flash location, it all has to do with how Flash works. Flash does not actually displace you until after the animation finishes. If you E (no different than any other "attach" ability) on Leona before someone starts a flash, you WILL follow them. It's kind of stupid, to be honest (given what Flash is SUPPOSED to be doing).

[@OSYofRR]

She didnt predict, the E totally missed but it follows on flashes, flips, tosses etc within a certain time. like some other skills in the game do/did. The funniest is Singed fling or VoliBear old toss before rework.

[@Flairsurfer]

Oooh TIL, interesting

[@SamCastaneda87]

Ya the issue with facing Malphite mid is that even if you are winning and somewhat keeping him from CSing well, there's a good chance your lvl 3 Ivern JG decides to casually walk trough mid when Malph is 6 and start feeding him, so now you have a problem.. All though just getting a Banshees ASAP kind of counters him if they don't have anyone to break it.

[@ein298]

[@TheRulersBack18]

i think q doesn't work that way on grubs bc they're unaffected by cc (iirc drag also doesn't let you steal speed) also, sometimes i watch and wonder how some of these master tier players aren't paid actors

[@UserLeoh]

Holy shit there’s a DOOR in the background now. It’s getting kinda cluttered now…

[@quieness]

Felina with another 3Head comment as usual x'd

[@mushiDia]

At 10:45 i think the reason you didn't get ms from grubs is since they were stationary, and with malph q you get precent ms of the target, and any precent of 0 is 0

[@nogaxeh6]

Grubs have 350 ms, as you can see at 10:27 . The probable reason is that like other Epic monsters (Drakes, Baron), they are immune to almost all CC. As Malph's ms boost is dependant on the amount stolen from the target, it simply doesn't do anything.

[@milad9482]

Going challenger in 2 month on top ... I would say u are smurfing in masters ? 😅❤ Love your content btw

[@Hertz2laugh]

Malphite Q steals enemy Move Speed. If Grubs have 0 Move Speed, Q will not have any Move Speed to steal → Malphite will not get Move Speed buff.

[@nogaxeh6]

Grubs have 350Ms, you can see it at 10:27 . The actual reason is that like other Epic monsters (Drakes, Baron), they are immune to almost all CC. As Malph's ms boost is dependant on the amount stolen from the target, it simply doesn't do anything.
