User blog comment:AtheistUntoDeath/Which of these Champions would win? Part 3/@comment-8050014-20140516232051

First of all, both champs are durable for different reasons. Galio appears to be made of stone reinforced with metal bands, meaning he is more resistant to direct force. Malphite is made of only rock, but he is able to regenerate his body. This means that if Galio is unable to destroy Malphite quickly, he will still be in one piece while Galio is falling apart.

Galio can fly and is more stealthy than the stomping, plodding Malphite. This also means that Galio can use Resolute Smite and Righteous Gust from a distance, while Malphite throws rocks at Galio from below. Malphite will eventually run out of rocks, and then Galio will attack relentlessly. Malphite won't be able to regenerate fast enough, and Galio will eventually win.
