Frozen Mallet needs balenced

I can not stand item 3022 its too good at what it does, the slow is too much i under stand they just nerfed it so that Yasuo couldn't not build tank and deal good amounts of mage but you have champs like Gnar that truly abuse it as much as tank Yasuo if not more, The fact that Gnar's Q slows and he can build an item that will make sure his hyper passive triggers 95% of the time because of his base slow on his q and with mallet on his auto's it drives me crazy because you can also never get away and I find it way too strong slow could be reduced to like 25% for melee and like 15% for ranged

I'm sorry, is this thread about Frozen Mallet in general, or about how good it is on Gnar, ..... because it is meant to be good on him ...

How about if the slow increased as a stacking function?

5% per stack on-hit, up to a maximum of 6 stacks for ranged / 8 stacks for melee.

This would make initial engagements less oppressive, but drawn out fights or champions with high attack speed will be more equally oppressive.

Keep in mind that this means it will be important for other tank/bruiser items will become more encouraged so that the champion can reach full stacks. Higher damage items may not offer the resistances needed to reach full stacks. Higher attack speed items may not offer the damage needed to out trade your opponent.

I think these Frozen Mallet threads are just Gnar complaints really cause he's the only champion that really uses the item outside of yasuo in which its not even recommended for Yas.

Then again, that's good cause I like Gnar, wouldn't want to see any complaint threads with his name, and without the movement speed slow, this item would just be a normal item but with more HP, and Gnar would be way less stronger, and his win rate would just drop completely although he'd still be good, but much harder to chase down players, and beat them 1v1 cause mini Gnar relies on kiting and outplays with E.

I think if they knocked off a lot of the HP, that would fix the item. Just make it 500 HP, and keep the slow.

I mean it is a pretty core item for gnar

I think the Mallet is probably going to be removed. A year or so ago it was on the chopping block near the time Atma's Impaler was removed due to the problems associated with the item. Since it seems those problems are resurfacing again, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the trigger this time and scrapped it.

I wish people would stop with this. I always build this item on Gnar nearly since I 1st got to play him. It is a recommend build on him on some builds in fact.. Dunno why are starting to whine on it now...

it's harder to chase down players than most think now because of the dumb amount of slows ability's now have among other things. it's like almost every single ability has a damn slow & there way overdone!

Sadly becasue I blame the amount of mobility champs they been popping out. it caused slows to be much stronger than ever & the removal of boot enchantments sure doesn't help...

point is... why should I be punished for building smart?

Make it melee only.
