Malphite usually shits on a lot of AP mids...IF PLAYED RIGHT. His passive negates a lot of harrass and his Q does a shitton of damage in return: 270  which takes a huge chunk off the enemy AP mid's health bar. Once Malphite reaches lvl 6 and has rank 3 Q and rank 2 E he can instantly kill the enemy AP mid (unless its someone like Morgana) with his 'RQE Autoattack Autoattack Ignite' combo, sort of like Annie.

I rush a chalice on him so I can spam Qs and have some MR for the enemy AP mid to makes his passive more effective. I do sell it late-game though.

My late-game build is either assassin AP or tanky AP, depending on our teamcomps.

Assassin AP anti-carry: Rabadon's, Zhonya's, Abyssal, Lich Bane, Rylai's, Sorceror's

Tanky AP initiator: Rod of Ages, Rylai's, Abyssal, Iceborn/Frozen Heart, Merc Treads.
