i play him and i consider him really strong, not  blatantly OP but really strong

the Q makes easy escapes and chases, the damage makes the harass with it really good and   often free since it slows  and makes you faster

the W counters AD tops using abilities for damage output mostly ( pantheon/ garren/renekton etc..)

the E counters AA champs top (  trynd/fiora/kayle etc..)

he can still be countered by some ap tops with big sustain like swain or vlad and a kennen who hits his shuriken constantly (yeah if malphite derps)

but his ult is what makes him borderline OP, wether you win your lane or not

you W + ult under a tower = free tower dive, really and his E shuts down Ad carries in teamfights hard

malph is about teamfight not laning imo and can be play anyplace but carry AD effectively : top malph is strong/ mid malph works too / support malph is dirty ( Q  makes you able to harass AD carry without taking too many AA because he won't be able to run after you and the base damage  makes it hurt a lot,  you can easily get a kill without gank at level6 : RQE hurts like hell
