Malphite hasn't been touched for so long that he's caught up to all the champs he used to counter before his last nerf. With the exception of champs like Darius, who have ridiculous amounts of free armor pen, and AP tops like mord or vlad, who can make his early game difficult (though the ap scaling on his e, and it's reduced armor scaling makes rushing abyssal much less of a damage/defense tradeoff than it used to be), malphite can win most trades with top lane champs.
