I mean, it has what a Juggernaut would want, right? A passive that helps them stick to their targets, on top of a boatload of health and some AD. So why did it go completely untouched or unmentioned this patch? I mean, let's face it, it definitely needs a look-over, since it's clunky build-path and odd stats make it a very hard item to build.
Black Cleaver essentially already does this, but better since it's physical damage, not autos (so Garen gets it during his E, Skarner gets it during his ult, Darius gets it with his bleed...)
i agree that they missed out on a great oppurtunity to tie this into the mix.
but they did say the juggernaut themed patched wasn't going to be a big a overhaul as the ap item doover. granted i think its actually bigger mind you hehe. with 4 new items including dmp. mr item buffs (though a necessary consequence of the ap item changes) as well. this patch was pretty big overall. might as add finishing touches and give mallet the slight tweak it needed to claim some relevance among the crowd.
have a look at this post i made:
