Guide to Countering Twitch as Malphite

Tips for Playing as Malphite against Twitch

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.

Armor naturally reduces the rate that attacks go through Granite Shield, so Brutal Strikes will strengthen the shield against physical damage.

Advice to Win Against Twitch

Spell Shields won't block the damage from Deadly Venom, but they will block the effects Twitch can trigger with it.

If you suspect Twitch has left the lane, let your teammates know that Twitch is ''MIA.''

Twitch is fragile. Work with teammates to focus on him when you're able to catch him out of Camouflage.
