Can you do something with Frozen Mallet already?

I was actually surprised the item was completely ignored in the "Fighter Item Update", but anyway, either remove the item so I'm not tempted to build it, or make it actually buildable without being ahead. The defensive mastery tree update was actually an indirect nerf to the item, because everyone can get 15% swiftness with 2 points in defense now, making it a 34% slow for melee. Also slow stacking was removed from the game. The item is actually not even good at all if you don't build an attack speed item with it, you wont be able to permaslow very effectively.

I think a good starting point would be to just lower its total cost to 3000 gold since it has been indirectly nerfed and its actually pretty useless alone without some attack speed anyway.

Another idea of mine is to just delete the item and make a new pure defensive hp only item that builds out of that cinder thing and giants belt. Gives 600 HP or so and the passive does similar damage to sunfire cape but also creates like a 10 or 15% permaslow aoe field around you with the same range as sunfire and cinderhulk.

Yeah Gnar doesn't need an attack speed item with it because he has at least one other slow in his kit.

It's a win harder item and as such is unhealthy for gameplay. Which is why it is locked away by an insane cost and terrible build path.

Yeah but it has been recently indirectly nerfed and so its cost should at least be reduced to compensate. Is riot going to just continue to ignore the item and let it get shittier and shittier over time?

Removing stacking slows was a mistake in my opinion. Rylais red buff and FM should all stack in some way. Maybe a frozenmallet proc and a regular slow proc from an ally should stack, but a new slow will still remove the ally slow.
