I agree with HellWolf except for gnar and riven. Gnar I feel like is more of a skill match up because he is an AD champ and Malphite can burst him down if given a shot. I dont know for sure though since im not much in ranked games and have surprisingly not played this matchup before. Riven however, I know not to be a very good idea. Riven might get armor pen but for malphite there are 2 reasons why he can take her.

1 he can increase his tankiness and decrease her damager meaning he has a huge chance of winning trades until she gets a last whisper. If she rushes that I doubt she'll have enough damage for a while to be relevant

2 She is squishy. Please not the only time riven is tanky is when her shield is up. A few opportunistic trades and she'll be in a bad spot. Especially since her health regen is so terrible. On that note remember that Malphite is a BURST tank. if given a chance he can alway RWEQ her to the ground without much retaliation since she'll be airborne.
