I see it as a nerf to AD malphite. He used to get 40% more AD when it was max rank with the active, I could get +100-250 AD late game with that W, but now that is gone. Its been replaced with this new W that has an AP scaling. The problem with AP malphite I found is that his cooldowns are high and he his auto attacks won't do a lot of damage since he has No AA buff that scales with his AP. His burst is high, but some targets survive it. This allows his auto attacks to deal a decent amount of damage, probably +200 late game when he activates that if he is AP.

AD malphite was just a troll build, it could work because of old W, now thats gone, so AD Malphite is just gone tbh.
