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.

Overall, Olaf sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Malphite. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Malphite helps Olaf perform not as well in competitive LoL games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Olaf tries to synergize with Malphite, he gets a barely noticable drop in his full damage output. This could demonstrate that Malphite does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played with Malphite on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Malphite. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Malphite.
Additionally, when Olaf plays with Malphite on the same side, he on average takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Taking more damage may mean that Malphite does a poor job of covering Olaf in team fights.
