lol op? Almost all his abilities take power from AP and he's not viable for ANY kind of AP build. He has too little hp to be a tank, or any taunting ability of sorts, and too little damage output to be a real dps. They say he's good at initiating fights but in truth, UF is much better if you use it on grouped enemies that are ganking the initiator. But everyone thinks Malphite is a full-fledged tank and expects you to initiate fight and die.

Plus his starting armor is ABSURDLY low for such a character. He's turned into some kind of jack of all trades status but sadly does not excel at any of them, and people's perception of Malphite puts you on all kinda hard situations in teamfights, with %90 of the people still thinking Malphite is a pure tank when the game does not even classify him as a tank anymore.
