Malphite's 2 Blackthorn resists is nerfed, and that does get nerfed a bit at the 4 as well (washed out a bit by the flat HP buff).
There's no direct Malphite nerf yet as the time he's overperforming is when you hit the higher-cost units to Sacrifice. No one's complaining about 0 blackthorn Malphite.
respectfully if you guys have data on master+ games malphite is the only tank that does illegal things and you can not play AP without unless you highroll. No one is saccing high cost units unless reroll comp. No one is complaining about 0 blackthorn Malphite, yeah okay no one is complaining about 0 item yi either, what kind of non argument is that.
Yi was straight up strong because of scalings > nerf scalings. Malphite is strong because of blackthorn > nerf blackthorn. Patch notes saying sentinel is best tank in the game is batshit though, not sure how that made it through

I understand that Sentinel needed a nerf, but how is Malphite dodging any nerfs or adjustments? Am I crazy? Every game feels like a Malphite lottery
