The problem with Malphite is that his base damage is very high. His Q is a targeted poke that hurts a lot even without AP, and his W and his E scale with Malphite's armor. In addition, Malphite deals a lot of mixed damage; even though Q, E, and his ult do magic damage, Malphite has a rather high base AD and his W deals physical damage. This makes counterbuilding defensively against Malphite rather difficult.
