Bulferdash is basically on the money here. Malphite's scalings are weird when you think about them, I'll freely grant you, but I don't think they're a problem because you don't have to build the stats in question to get use out of each part of his kit. Again, a good contrast is with old Sion, where whether you went AD or AP, you were basically rendering two of his spells next to useless (AP was worse than AD in this respect; for AD, Q at least still had the stun and W actually got somewhat respectable if you were playing a bruisy AD with a lot of resists. But they were still distinctly underwhelming). In other words, you don't need to build AP to get ample use out of his Q, E and R; W without AD is still a very nice armour steroid (hell, even off his base AD the AD isn't bad); no one's likely to complain that Malph's ult is slow-moving without Swifties + Zephyr; and so on and so forth.

Sure, if they were to rework Malphite, they'd probably want to give his kit a little more focus, but it all works fine as it is, really.
