Iceborn Gauntlet suggestion to change how the slow works.
This idea is fairly simple.
Current IBG applies the slow to the ground in an area surrounding the hit target. This means that it is able to bypass the effects of tenacity and applies until the slow area ends or the target gets out of the area.
What this suggestion is aimed at is making it instead apply an instant AoE slow that does not stay on the ground for 2 seconds.
This will make Merc Treads just about as ideal for contending with IBG as boots of swiftness.
This is not a all out nerf to the item but it makes it more readable and better able to be countered by more then one boot item.
Yes this item is proving to be effective especially when combined with Sunfire and that is why it is currently getting nerfed, The nerf is not about blue ezreal. I just want to see more then one boot type able to do a decent job of counteracting the effective power of what is in effect a potential perma slow item.
and its stat efficiency is terrible to compensate.

, and I could go on.
