Frozen Mallet Rework

It's time that one of the least used items steps into the light! The Frozen Mallet, which at one time was dominant among most laners because of the perma slow, should be useful again. With the advent of Movement Steal, there are now the means to return Mallet to what it once was without making it overpowered.

Old Stats: +700 health +30 attack damage Unique Passive – Icy: Your basic attacks slow your target's Movement Speed by 40% for 1.5 seconds (30% slow for ranged attacks).

Build Path: + + The cost is 3300G but the gold value for the stats given is 2947G.

My suggestion: +700 health +30 attack damage Unique Passive – Icy: Your basic attacks steal 20% of your target's Movement Speed for 1.5 seconds (10% for ranged attacks).

Build Path: + The cost would be reduced to 2800G (maybe 2900G).

Movement Steal isn't as good as a slow. They can escape easier and you'll stick just as well as when it was a 40% slow. You will be able to deal less damage to enemies before they run under their turret. As for the build path I think it should once again be built out of Phage. This only makes sense as far as a build path goes, as Phage gives all of the stats that Mallet does. This item is still expensive but won't spell toxicity where laning is concerned. As far as the new Jungle, I think that it will give tanks a needed buff in a damage oriented meta, Skarner, Shyvana, and Udyr are just three champions that would love this item.

Right now this item is a newb trap. It gives great stats but is outclassed in cost by Iceborn Gauntlet. While I don't use this item (ever) I really love what it gives. I want to use it but cannot justify paying the immense cost. The change from a slow to MS steal is in fact a nerf so the already justified cost reduction merited even more.

Please vote yes to this and give the thread an upvote. I'm (prematurely) excited about the changes this item could get and I cannot wait to use the new Frozen Mallet.
