Buff frozen heart

Summoner SpeII·12/10/2019, 9:42:33 PM·10 votes·8,168 views

Item is never built at all in high elo, because of how it lacks active effects or base hp. it is pretty useless when it is compared to other items like randuins, which gives a nice aoe slow every 60 seconds and very nice tank stats, or thornmail, which applies grievous wounds and does more dmg to adcs if you build more armor and gives a bit of hp. I would suggest giving frozen heart an item active that temporarily slows the attack speed of its surrounding enemies by 40%, and make that aoe like the randuin's active effect, and nerf the base armor on frozen heart by a bit if that is too strong to directly give to frozen heart. There is no reason any top laner would care about the 20% cdr on frozen heart, because they could just go ice born gauntlet and randuin/thornmail. and that would be a much better option because ibg gives them 20% cdr and waveclear and armor/mana, and then they get to choose a much better 2nd armor item.

Give it a passive like adaptive helm, reduces physical damage abilities by X amount for X seconds

i feel like if they keep it a HP-less item then it really needs some form of active to make it better because as it stands its only good on like Taric Sejuani Malphite and only because they benefit the most from Armor in one way or another

Just give it 425 hp and pre-emptively nerf Ryze and it'll be an item worth building in situations you need to slow an auto attack dealer's auto attacks down.

item 3110 +100 armor +20% cooldown reduction +400 mana

UNIQUE: Cripple icon Cripples nearby enemies' attack speed by 15% (700 range).


Increase passive to 25% Decrease Armor to 80 Add 350-450 HP

This item has the niche of countering right click champions like Tryndamere MasterYi (without ult) Jax and most adcs. If people want it to be an option for all tanks then it needs hp added to it.

It's the only armor item with CDR that most champs can get away with building.

Iceborne gauntlet is your only other viable option for armor+CDR and even then it's weaker and the sheen passive can't be used effectively with every tank champ. The only other armor+CDR items are item 3109 and item 3800 which are used almost exclusively only by supports unless your name is Rammus or Hecarim.

I prefer thormail over frozen heart simple because tanks gonna focus enemy aa anyway and thormail will slow aa as well. I just think FH should have pasive buffed to 25% or 30% then i will consider buying it maybe. I will just add it more armor maybe 10-20 more, less cdr 10 and buff pasive.

Yeah, how the mighty have fallen. Back in the early days of League you would see this item in every single game. I get why it was nerfed initially, the general power it provided was nuts, but it has never really been brought back up to a decent standard. The only time I ever build it is when I'm playing a champion like Nunu against a full ad team and I already have a thornmail. It's always a 6th item buy, and games don't last that long very often, and even at item slot 6 I hardly bother getting it.

This item used to be the first rush item for the beefiest tank characters thanks to the super high armor, cdr, and mana. Now damage is so high it doesn't do enough. If riot isnt going to nerf damage they need to buff tank items. The passive is nice but Tank items need more active effects to make them interesting.

Item is irrelevant as long as tanks are irrelevant

Id give it a passive where the more an enemy attacks you, the more the attackers attack speed decreases.
