Because we're falling into a meta where adcs and AD assassins are getting back and kicking hard, which to Malphite those are just a joke. This guy has been in my champ pool since I started playing in s3 because it's just insane how it changes the tides of a teamfight against a 3 AD comp, even when you run it as support. Between his ultimate, the AA slow and the mov.Speed slow makes him a serious threat even falling behind. It just shuts down any AD menace instantly, by building Armor and engaging against it.

In the past, we had AP toplaners, AP junglers, and so on and on, and I'm not talking about tanks; Akali, Lissandra, Ryze... Now the changes on the AP items made AP champs kinda off the meta, replacing them for AD champs, so it's a great time for Malphite to shine.
