Is Frozen Mallet's combine cost too high? * /r/leagueoflegends

Player 1: imo Riot should just go back to frozen mallet building from phage + giant's belt for a better build path

Player 2: Which doesn't make much sense since they changed Phage to give speed rather than slow.

Player 3: They could make frozen mallet steal movespeed from the enemy though

Player 4: Oh I really like that idea. It solves the gold gulf in the item build path and the conceptual transition from bonus speed to slow quite neatly.

A item that could counter high mobility champs. Please riot, make this happen.

High mobility champions aren't countered by slows very well; a 99% slow doesn't help well when they just jumped through two walls.

On the other hand, low to unmobile champions are really messed up by slows; that's why Darius and others are so kitable, since any slow removes their ability to catch you.

Making the item actually good doesn't really hut mobile champion significantly, just unmobile or low mobility champions.

If it steals a pecentage of the max movementspeed it could work.

suddenly, the only person who can catch Ezreal is malphite who is doubling down on all the movement speed. ironic... the rock being the fastest character this side of Udyr and Rammus.

so he's caught between a rock and a hard place

He's going as fast as he can.

Admittedly, it's rather spritely for an earth elemental.

This is (sort of) what Entropy does. Builds out of Phage and Pickaxe. Has the Phage onhit movespeed and an active that gives you a Redbuff-like slow for a while.

If Riot were to fiddle with Mallet I would suggest giving it the Melee Only attribute and make it Cripple targets, eg they count as Rooted and can't use any form of dash/flash. That would be worth the awful build path.
