How to Beat Yone as Malphite (Top)

The Malphite versus Yone matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Malphite deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Yone deals mainly physical damage (71.68%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Yone, ranking 4th (versus 35th for Malphite) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.5 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Malphite Top versus Yone Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Malphite player to maintain constant pressure on Yone, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

    Malphite tips:

    • Armor naturally reduces the rate that attacks go through Granite Shield, so Brutal Strikes will strengthen the shield against physical damage.
    • Despite his abilities scaling on Armor, some games require Malphite to get Magic Resist. When those games occur, try getting Aegis of the Legion, Mercury's Treads, and Guardian Angel.
