Riot can you remind us of why the slow chance was removed from Trinity force.

While a guarantied 40% slow from Rylai's is considered acceptable? Yes i remember it use to be 25% for AoE and multi target abilities.

Also why Frozen mallet is left in a meh state while Rylai's is allowed to be in a state that many champs want to get it?

This is a request for clarity

When did trinity have a slow chance?

before the end of season 3. Phage use to build into frozen mallet and Trinity and it had a % change to slow on hit. It was replaced with the rage passive.

Season 3 is pretty much completely irrelevant. Might as well try them to bring Ionic Spark back

I dont get what you are trying to do here. Trinity Force and Rylais arent even the same type of item. One is an on-hit AD item, one is an AP item.

Exactly how many stats do you want on Trinity? Trinity already has health, mana, AD, attack speed, 20% CDR, move speed, spellblade, and rage from phage.

Rylais has AP, health, and a slow on abilities

The difference should be pretty clear. Tri doesnt need a slow because it already has a metric s**t ton of other stats

It was unhealthy because it was based on RNG. you could get lucky and perma slow or unlucky and never slow.

Rylai's is healthier because it only works on spells, which USUALLY a cooldown

Mallet, I don't know, I think it's because of the stats it gives that makes him unattractive (Only Volibear likes it)

The slow chance was removed from trinity force because if a melee duelist was ahead, it give an RNG chance of you being unable to escape them and their teammates. The RNG needed to be removed, but the slow could not go to a 100% uptime without severely nerfing the item's stats and making it overlap with frozen mallet, and trinity force needed to give its users a mobility advantage. Switching the RNG slow to a speed boost on every autoattack was the solution.

Also why Frozen mallet is left in a meh state while Rylai's is allowed to be in a state that many champs want to get it?

Autoattacks make it much, much easier to maintain a 100% uptime. Spells have downtime. Autoattacks don't.

"chance to slow" sounds really crappy. I really don't like random stuff like that.
