The main reason is that the game is interesting once the Malphite is picked; it's almost as if the main character of this match has already been decided.
The director, being quite astute, gave Yang Jingyu and Shi Tou a shot.
Yang Jingyu swaggered from the top lane tri-bush area to EDG's red buff area and placed a ward.
When I came back, I saw Jinoo's Kennen in the triangular grass.
Kennen hadn't expected that the Stone Man would swagger back from his own jungle.
In order to pull the stone golem, he learned the E skill, Thunder Armor, at level one.
Yang Jingyu was startled when he saw Kennan in the bushes.
However, being a former professional player, he quickly realized what was happening.
As Kennan exited E and prepared to open the point, Yang Jingyu threw out an earthquake debris.
Although Kennen landed a basic attack on Malphite, Malphite had a Granite Shield, which negated the attack.
However, Kennen couldn't take it anymore. With Malphite's Q skill Earthquake Shard and Comet's slam, Kennen visibly lost a bar of health.
Moreover, Yang Jingyu's Malphite in this game started with two red Doran's Rings, just for the purpose of farming lanes.
Jinoo didn't expect that he would be at a disadvantage as soon as he went online.
He started with a Doran's Blade and a health potion, and now the minions have already pushed off the high ground, so he can't go back to base.
Jinoo cracked after the first wave of personnel changes.
Jiejie said to Jinoo through her headset, "Don't rush, I'll take him down this time!"
Yang Jingyu was unaware that Jiejie planned to gank him after clearing the bottom lane. Although he only took two hits from the first wave of minions, Kennen's health was already down to half.
Yang Jingyu's Q skill is not for last-hitting minions. If he wanted, he could have killed all six minions, but that wouldn't have helped him suppress Kennen, and it wouldn't have made a difference.
It's worth noting that during the S13 Spring Split, TheShy's Comet Malphite pick solo-killed NIP's top laner Invincible's Kennen.
Yang Jingyu is now following suit!
As for why other teams' top laners didn't achieve the desired effect when they picked Malphite after that game, it's because the other teams' top laners didn't dare to build AP champions, otherwise all the pressure would fall on their teammates.
