Should Rylai's also ground targets for the same duration that it slows?

It might sound OP on some champions cough Singed , but considering the slow is only 1 second in duration, and most mages don't have cooldowns low enough to abuse it, it could really be a soft counter to all the hyper mobility that mages have to deal with in the game and make the slow feel more rewarding. Even in the case of Singed, the grounding effect would wear off within 1 second of leaving his poison trail which is more than reasonable.

It's just one way Riot could buff the item without increasing the slow or overloading the base stats.

But it's okay for a team to pick 5 champions with dashes/multiple dashes and make any mage without point and click hard CC or miasma worthless right?

lol good logic

I wonder why we dont see those team comps in LCS? maybe because its terrible lol

Heimerdinger I know this guy isnt the best, but could you imagine getting to him while you're slowed and grounded as any melee champ? lmao or a Malzahar Cassiopeia Alternatively, get away from AkaliKatarina Diana KassadinLeblanc while you're slowed and grounded. lol

Rylais would be first item for any ap champ, mage or assassin.

Please tell me you're joking......

Yes that's why you don't see teams like

Top - J4 Jungle - Gragas Mid- Corki ADC - Tristana Support - Rakan

in pros right?

Most champs have a dash, that list is pointless.

Imho it would be better if it outright replaced the slow... it would become, vs high mobility champions, what the item 3140 is vs mages relying on CC.

Also, immobile champions like Fiddlesticks would benefit immensely from this change.

No. Grounding should be more present in the game, but not through an item.

Poppy IllaoiJayce smacking their opponents into the ground like a nail would make sense. Ice energy attaching to spell casts would not.
