Malphite is still useful against most comps, and almost every AD matchup, be it assassin or not. He benefits a lot from stacking armor items with damage potential (Sunfire Cape, Iceborn Gauntlet,Bramble Vest, etc) and late game he becomes essentially unkillable for any AD champion and if they have a mage you can just build either Abyssal Mask (which gives him even more damage, and mana) or Adaptive Helm (in case they have DoT/spammable spells)

He is not useless at all, especially now that Conqueror no longer converts damage into true damage; meaning AD assassins cannot negate a portion of his armor early. Also, Mountain dragons give resistances now, which means even more armor.

Malphite is super strong right now, though he can still be beaten if he is forced to lane against things like Ryze/Vladimir/Cassiopeia/Rumble/Neeko.
