The thing that annoys me the most about this champ is not even his free tankyness with his W and passive, not even the damage he does (that even scales with his tankyness) and not his incredible strong ult, that is almost impossible to dodge if no flash or long ranged dash is at hand. It's his attackspeed slow. It is so unfair, he is friggin tanky and you need a lot of time killing him, but with this spell he makes it even harder, especially for ADC's, the role that is supposed to kill tanks. Sure, it's supposed to counter high attackspeed champions like Vayne, Tristana or even Yi and Jax, but a 50% slow for auto attacks, the primary damage source of them, is plainly unfair. It's like giving Cassiopeia an increased cooldown on her E for a certain duration. And that ontop of the resitances, which Malphite got plenty of. It's also some kind of peel for his allies, if these high attackspeed champs don't focus him, but to my mind he shouldn't have such of a tool. He is an engager, with all the AoE damage and tankyness he has, but this feature is just unnecessary and to my mind too strong. If they wanna keep it, fine, but tone it down. 50% slow on autoattacks, maybe even combined with frozen heart, leaves the target almost defenseless.
