Advice to Understand How Malphite Will Play
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.

How to Play with Malphite as Kayn in LoL
The Kayn Malphite synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Malphite, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Kayn sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Malphite. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Malphite helps Kayn perform poorer in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.
When Kayn is an ally to Malphite, he observes a marginal improvement in his total damage output. This change could signal that Malphite supports by providing protection for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Kayn is played alongside Malphite on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Malphite.
Moreover, when Kayn plays with Malphite on the same side, he typically takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage may indicate that Malphite does a poor job of protecting Kayn during team fights.

Is Kayn better when played alongside Malphite?
There is no ideal synergy for Kayn that will always be his #1 teammate. However, overall, Malphite is a very typical companion for Kayn. By playing on the same team as Kayn, he raises their win rate by 0.9% to 50.1%. This proves that there is a weak synergy between Kayn and Malphite that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.
Malphite has a much lower diffuclty than Kayn. That means Kayn players don't need to be careful when finding Malphite teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Working cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by aligning Kayn and Malphite together, you probably will not be granting your team enough magical damage output. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Malphite teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
