Huge balancing issues apart, Malphite looks like a beefy, furious as hell rock. His aspect fits less the "ummovable guardian" style than the "steadfast juggernaut" theme he really is. Not to mention, he does tank, but by reducing the enemy's damage output and by beating them into a pulp, not by conventional stunlock means.

Compare him to Mordekaiser, a badass giant undead metal armor monster general with a huge mace who... is a mage.
