Today's LoLdle was another easy one after yesterday's walk in the park. I figured it out in one go, but if you didn't, read on for the answer to the October 18th quote.
Malphite Champion Select | ROCK SOLID!.
The LoLdle quote from October 18th is "Rock solid", and the League Champion who says this line is Malphite. You know, that big stone guy?
Only two champions are closely associated with rocks on Summoner’s Rift, and one is much more so than the other. Taliyah surfs on a rock, throws rocks at her opponents, and even summons a giant wall of rocks, but Malphite is still the most obvious candidate for this quote. He’s a rock of few words, and it’s no surprise that he utters this quote. I suppose you could mistake this quote for something from a champion with a heavy metal-themed Pentakill skin, but that’s a bit of a stretch. Rock ‘n’ roll. Could Yorick say this while playing a riff on his guitar? It’s plausible, but no.
So how does Malphite fare in Patch 14.20? Quite well. The Rock is considered an S Tier by stats site U.GG, and has a 51 percent win rate in the top lane. He’s no slouch in the mid lane either, with a respectable 50 percent win rate. He’s historically been a straightforward champion, making him a sensible choice for new and old players alike. Now’s your chance to play him in solo queue before Riot inevitably nerfs him.
