As an old Gnar player I would not mind deleting Frozen Mallet now

Or have a major reduction in the power of the passive.

It is my own "favorite" item on Gnar that I will build nearly every game expanding on his pick and dueling potential for mini Gnar. I can skirmish when rage is low, looking for clumped fights when rage is built high. I can hit a straggler and force his team to help or abandon him then bounce on their head and wall slam them. It's key to the way I win with Gnar..

It's kinda gotten old though. And if the champion can better be balanced and healthier without frozen mallet I want that world.

Being reliant on speed is more fun and fair than perma slow abuse.

Same. Though I had always build it on him since he pretty much came out. I like other builds on him really. Because of the item.... they nerf his cooldowns to hell & want them reverted & if it mean getting rid of that item, I will gladly have that.

Well you could delete a potentially useful item, or you could just slap a melee only tag onto it so gnar and other ranged champs cant use it.

Making it melee only would go a long way in fixing it.

A Ranged version that requires X number of consecutive attacks against a target to slow them would be a solid addition, too. If you had to attack someone four times in a row to get a 2 second slow, that would be FAR less oppressive than one hit = death.

Gnar will be able to be properly balanced when he no longer functions as a safe and mobile ranged lane bully that is also a super tank with huge amounts of crowd control and IIRC the best base tank stats in the game.
