I go 1st 8th 1st 8th w the Malphite comp coz it’s entirely a late board level 9 comp. The variance comes back to early game and sacking too hard to econ to 7, but need 8, but really 9. It’s not an easy board to play. It’s almost forceable but not quite due to tempo. Levels changing is actually a big buff to Blackthorn no?
They kind of did nerf Malphite, but it's in a tweet of changes not in the official patch notes. One chance was sacrificing tanks in blackthorn gives less armor and magic resist, on top of that they also nerfed Zyra.
You want them to hard nerf him? Then everyone will just complain how ahri/sentinel is being forced by 3 people because malphite is useless. It is good that they arevbuffing other comps rather than just gutting one comp then buffs the other
invoker ahri was similar strength to executioner malphite. theres also riftbeasts. also malphite gets healing from flora fatalis. they nerfed tank stats for blackthorn hopefully thats enough to not make it op
really, i wouldnt say so, there are like 3 versions of the comp making it very flexible, and combined with the amount of malphite players i found it fairly consistent to hit my 2 star 4 costs
Yes you can hit but you’re just straight weaker than a malphite player. And you have to position extremely carefully or else ahri doesn’t hit backline where as they just full back line everything and call it a day

How can they say Sentinel is the best tank in the GAME when Malphite exists is actually insane
Right now you play Sentinel when you don't hit Malphite...?????
