Mal is similar to Mundo and Voli for reasons such as Mal can build full tank and deal tons of damage. Also, people ban him because he counters most solo tops and he is a monster late game with his ultimate.

I am typically not afraid of Malphite just because I know how to play against him. Just grab an ap solo top, kill him or harass him to a point where he has to recall or farm underneath tower. Mal doesn't have a gap closer and can only harass you with his Q, just play as Kennen or Temmo, poke at him, kite, and do as much as you can to prevent him from farming.
