I should probably reduce the armor scaling and perhaps add a base value, but it's worth mentioning Malphite doesn't reach 1k+ armor even with 5 Thornmails, full armor runes and the above Gauntlet. Considering how similarly ridiculous-sounding effects can be achieved even now, including with Iceborn Gauntlet and Malphite at similar armor values, I don't think it's especially worth being scared of effects like these, particularly since such a build would be horribly inefficient in pretty much every other respect.
