Shamrock Malphite

Malphite is a twenty-ton rock man who used to be part of an even larger rock that was destroyed, leaving him orphaned on a distinctly un-rocklike plane of existence. The guy could use a little luck.

About Shamrock Malphite

Shamrock Malphite is a legacy-tier skin that gives Malphite a festive St. Patrick’s Day look, painting the normally stoic rock giant in vibrant greens and shamrock motifs for one of League’s oldest and most playful holiday cosmetics.

  • The theme and design feature Malphite in bright green stone with shamrock emblems and moss-like textures, giving his imposing frame a humorous and celebratory holiday twist.
  • Special features are minimal, limited to recolored textures and a shamrock design on his body, with no new animations, particle effects, or sound updates added.
  • The skin tier is Legacy, priced at 520 RP when available, making it a rare collector’s item that only returns during special vault sales or events.
  • Lore connection is non-canonical, serving purely as a festive cosmetic tied to St. Patrick’s Day rather than Malphite’s elemental backstory.
  • Popularity is modest but enduring, with the skin appreciated by long-time players and collectors for its quirky charm and nostalgic value.
  • Additional features include the iconic shamrock chest emblem, a playful holiday splash art, and a unique green granite effect that makes his character model stand out.
  • Fan reception is mixed-to-positive, with many enjoying its humor and collectible status, though others criticize it for being too simple compared to modern skins.
  • Noteworthy gameplay effects are purely cosmetic, as the green design makes his presence more cheerful and distinct on the Rift, though his abilities remain unchanged.
