I've been seeing mid laners taking this pretty frequently, is the item that strong that mid laners will use this as one of their 6 items?

the active is just so broken and the efficiency of the item is good

Frost Queen is ballanced in my opinion. It now provides equal strengths compaired to item 3401 & item 3069 . Why AP midlaners take it has a compleet different reason. Right now AP itematisation is bloody expensive while their cdr options are extreemly limited. item 3092 just seem to forfill those 2 weaknesses.

If you get it all the way to FQC, you still get the Tribute gold even when you CS. The stats are as efficient as any other support item, and the active was buffed both directly and indirectly, with vision becoming more scarce.

The gold gen is the biggest thing tbh. With the increased cost of all the major AP items that mages want, an item that gives gold gen, cdr and 150% mana regen (compared with 100% on morellos) works out to be incredibly slot efficient. Over the course of the average game, most people earn between 1.5-2k with it which is a crap ton of extra gold for not doing anything other than what you would normally be doing. The active is just the sweetner, but its the gold gen that is by far the biggest advantage of the item.

So do you think it will get nerfed so it is less appealing to AP mid laners and more shifted to supports only?

No, isn't not "that strong"; it's not stronger but strength isn't the reason it's being chosen in the first place. They are making a choice for added utility instead of the champs' "normal items" which are stronger in other areas. It's just a different build-path for champions who can build it without being affected by the problems it could introduce for them by being chosen as an

I think it might be a bit too beneficial. 40% slow for 4 seconds is very effective at engaging and landing a combo. For mid laners it's also a tool that scouts for the enemy jungler and basically allows a safe engage.

I think it would be for the best if Riot changed the slow duration to scale with ghost travel distance. The further they go, the longer the slow duration would be.

I have to say yes simply because i once had a enemy AP support zyra rush build this, her damage was remarkable and I remember the moment she used the active and I was slowed and I just went to myself.

"Yup, im dead"
