His weakness (in lane, at least) is high sustain. Really high sustain. If you can survive his poke until he has no mana (or if you just heal up his poke faster than he can poke you), you win lane against him, as he's an average duelist with mana (after QE the trade gets worse for him every seconds it takes), and he's a worthless duelist without mana. Warwick might be the best one to counter Malphite in this way. Champions like Yorick and maybe Irelia should also be able to do a lot. The only one lane that I just couldn't win was vs a Warwick that just outhealed all poke I tried to get at him (I even gave up poking).
