Please make Iceborn Gauntlet Melee Only

Bilgewater Jones·Nov 7, 2019·10 votes·3,056 views

The item is fine on tanks, just make it melee only so ranged champs that abuse it get punished without tanks getting the short end of the stick. Prime example is , yeah his win-rate isn't great and I don't thinks he is Overpowered at all...but the fact that an adc can take a tank item that gives him some extra armor, kiting potential with a ranged low cooldown slow, cdr and mana, ultimately makes him completely unfun to face against late game. Adjust his power so he doesn't completely suck and you can continue to release skins for him but please make melee only so you don't get perma slowed by him spamming 1 billion iceborne mystic shots and make facing Ezreal a bit less frustrating to fight.

Why? Sure, I can see why that's frustrating...But at the same time you're running him down with (insert whatever mindless diver here). Kinda a lot of frustration on all ends, when his only option to deal with you is IBG.

It's a defensive option. He can slow you in the exact same way with Glacial Augment, or Glacial Mallet, or Rylai's, or fucking red buff. The slow isn't going away unless you somehow make a mage item, a rune, and a fucking neutral camp melee-only.

"Make it melee-only" isn't an option for everything, and shouldn't be the go-to answer.

You are mad about lowest win ratio adc using item that barely have any use? Ok... Make it proc only from melee - allow EZ Q to crit then so he will build full crit like any other ADC.

Winrates don't mean shit, look at Ryze or Akali. Ez's playstyle stops any kind of lane interaction. A

Ez loses a fair chunk of damage with iceborne

that build would give about the same ehp right?

Wouldn't item 3078 be better for more damage if they really do gimp down item 3025 ?!

It is better for damage (Has AD and twice the spellblade proc). Ezreal players just tend to not like getting blown the fuck up, so they run IBG.

No. If anything the opposite range champions have been the only ones consistently using it other then ornn. Like the majority of the time you see the item built is on some bs like tank ekko.
