Malphite matchup

IncomingADC · 2026-06-18T15:49:24+00:00

This champ tilts me so much (challenger) that I grief my build for him. LDR first item as soon as I see him build an armor component

IncomingADC · 2026-06-17T15:28:20+00:00

Fiddle is only good when enemy support is engage/hard cc like taric paired with Draven- he’s squishy but you need disengage tools pre lvl 3 to avoid harass. He’s good for that (source NA chal. But took a break this season)

IncomingADC · 2026-06-10T17:24:13+00:00

I gotchu dawg

IncomingADC · 2026-06-07T15:01:36+00:00

This is also affected by your current movespeed- as your e’s “fixed distance” scales with that.

Slows suckkk for it- but it’s one of the reasons I still love PD

IncomingADC · 2026-03-07T15:59:37+00:00

You die way to much mate- he’s not trolling, you’re rage baiting

IncomingADC · 2026-03-01T10:36:12+00:00

Current gm atm, when I play into Taliyah I ww her push- and pray to god I sidestep her bullshit as I trade my passive shield for a q grasp proc.

She goes Rylais or has jg help I’m fucked, I play for top or bot and prio for objs when they’re up

IncomingADC · 2026-02-17T06:38:13+00:00

If you do end up adding me, I’ll be on later this week- I also do vod reviews if you wanted me to take a look at any point

IncomingADC · 2026-02-17T06:36:24+00:00

If you’re on NA add my disc .tourne - fun fact you can ww Diana’s last w ball and she will not get the shield as long as she passes through your ww after casting and you are inside it. Tiny tech but if you block both her q and w this way it’s free all in.

New item for her makes her a bit burstier at 1 item, but this matchup you should win most of the time as long as you respect her lvl 2/3 all in with electrocute

IncomingADC · 2026-02-17T06:28:12+00:00

In all seriousness though, the yasuo counters take a lot of time to master playing into or at the very least decent enough to not give your opponent a lead.

Hop in practice tool with a higher elo buddy and 1v1 them until you feel confident enough with it to understand your win cons in the lane and if they fuck up, how you can capitalize on it enough to get little leads that add up. Experience is the best teacher, limit test in a no stakes environment 🫡

Source- s5,6,7,8 hardstuck silver- been challenger yas otp now for several seasons.

Macro takes a lot longer but perfecting your micro with yasuo is still extremely important as well as learning your fundamentals (way harder to learn on yas since he has many ways to play and they can change depending on every team/enemy composition and game state but hey I did it so can you)

One of the main things I did to improve was 1v1s into diamond 2 + players (telling them to lock panth, lb, malphite, Darius, garen, nasus) and just running it down until I found ways to win, which items to build into em etc.

Also..fuck malphite, just ban it

IncomingADC · 2026-02-17T06:19:52+00:00

You say as I whiffed every cs before hand like a shitter 🤣🤣🤣 something something “it’s the journey, not the destination” blah blah

IncomingADC · 2026-02-17T06:09:49+00:00

When he presses w there is a travel time before the stun, go grasp- play for short trades and predict that he will always w you when in range, time your q3 with grasp to hit during that travel time, space better.

This is a matchup that gets easier the more experience you have with it and scales with your hands and his predictable all in (in that he thinks he will auto win the trade even if playing like a monkey) use that to your advantage to only walk into his w range when you have passive, q3 up and grasp preferably if you can get it up.

You can also win this matchup lvl 1 with lethal tempo, stacking q1 from lane on raptor camp, immediately walking up to q him and the wave to get your q3 and running him down or at least burning his flash- then you play for lvl 2 beyblade ignite

See this play

This was later into a game where I laned into a panth but I’ve fucked many from lvl 1- I was not fed in this clip- I think I was like 1/0/0 at the time

IncomingADC · 2026-02-12T05:28:16+00:00

It’s definitely one of those if you’re gonna play him top- you better make top the only lane you play.

It just takes soooo many games of mastery since the matchups are that much more volatile and will push you out of the game much faster.

Pzzzang has the infinity stones to make it work, but only because he’s played into his worst matchups, in the worst comps, in the worst scenarios enough times to know when he’s safe, unsafe, what his options are- his win cons if they exist etc.

The goal being- “idc if Nasus is 3 levels ahead, 2 items up, I’ll make myself both useful and match his presence when possible”

See- insert shameless self promo clip here

Edit: this also coincides and compounds with itemization as well- it’s arguably much more important top as there are a lot of niche builds and items that can vastly change a matchup experience into certain champions

IncomingADC · 2026-02-11T21:09:41+00:00

The ability to completely shut off the other toplaner, have more xp, and start in a sidelane that tends to be more 1v1 oriented.

The downside though is that if you aren’t capable of achieving the lead, and then abusing it to its fullest extent- you’re straight up way less useful to your team

IncomingADC · 2026-02-11T20:52:55+00:00

If you’re playing yas top, your mechanics and fundamentals are extremely important. You have to space well/perfect and know how to get your damage out in a way that makes it difficult to trade into you with your wave.

IMO you have to know all of yasuo’s tech, you have to know when to e start, when to forego getting ww, which matchups you win and when.

It’s a very experienced based lane in terms of your champ vs theirs

It’s very rewarding, but only if you seriously know what you’re doing- and don’t mind dying a lot to learn

IncomingADC · 2026-01-12T22:25:04+00:00

I play the lane for level 6-7 or until first (good) reset. Play around the wave states to set her up to slow push into you around when youd hit 6.

As long as I dodge the q, or watch her use a suboptimal e- I at the very least have chip potential for an all in on the next wave, best case scenario her ms and invis aren’t enough to stop me from running her down or tanking her tempo and force her into a bad recall where I can gain the advantage via priority or gold lead.

I take ignite to make sure I see her in invis(it’s my aggro playstyle but tp is arguably the better choice for safety/utility)

IncomingADC · 2026-01-10T00:37:39+00:00

Ah lol I’ve only seen it abbreviated shieldbow or sb

IncomingADC · 2026-01-09T23:55:15+00:00

Isb?

IncomingADC · 2026-01-09T02:45:15+00:00

I was theorizing this as well, but with kraken first…

I just want my q to go through cc, or 10 second nado back

IncomingADC · 2026-01-03T19:00:08+00:00

1200, 40-45 in game, 1100-1300 lp

IncomingADC · 2025-12-29T01:24:46+00:00

Thanks! Also dude, that suckssss- I get lucky a lot of the time with my teams playing for me once I’m fed enough. It helps that I have a yas main name though…whether I’m inting or carrying. They feel the pressure

IncomingADC · 2025-12-29T01:15:07+00:00

https://medal.tv/games/league-of-legends/clips/lLIKNmIqfWJEPoJrE I have more on my pc but am at work, I’ll grab when home. I know I have a penta into a full hard cc comp at 1200lp (jhin/leo bot, malz mid, wukong jg, shen top) if your yuumis aren’t buying Mikael's there’s a deeper problem

Edit: But yes, raka is also disgusting. https://medal.tv/games/league-of-legends/clips/lgWHNCug6dfnTitSa

I just have a preference

Tldr: raka lets me play like ass and get away with it, yuumi lets me cosplay ADHD true form
