Mostly due to his W dealing % HP damage, I assume. Those numbers are, at least, what I consider too high at the moment.

On the other hand: the enemy did not buy any resistances and, on top of that, Malphite (top or mid?) went mage instead of fulltank. I'd say that the game could've had a different outcome if he served as a proper tank aside or even instead of Pantheon. This way, their team was quite Squishy overall. :)

Another mistake was that only Zed considered buying anti-HP with BotRK. Didn't they realise that Maokai was the threat they needed to address? Imo, Malphite's Q makes Liandry's a must-have.
