Thoughts on Frozen Mallet and mobility

DeusVult··3 votes·402 views

item 3022 is possibly one of the worst items in the game ATM. It has a god awful build path and is only truly useful on a handful of champions. And besides that, members of Riot's balance team have come out and said that they dislike the item and will keep it in a bad spot because of their view on perma-CC. (yet they have no qualms with perma-mobility Kalista).

So, I propose the following change to item 3022. Make it build out of item 3044 + item 1011 + 675 Gold (3000g total)

700 Health 30 Attack Damage Unique Passive - Rage: Basic attacks grant 20 movement speed for 2 seconds on hit. Minion, monster, and champion kills grant 60 movement speed for 2 seconds. The movement speed bonus is halved for ranged champions. Unique Active - Icy Touch: For 8 seconds, basic attacks and single target spells against enemy champions disable them from using all dashes, blinks and other forms of mobility except for summoner 4. 60 Second CD.

Now item 3022 actually has a build path that isn't trash and immobile champs have an item that can help them fight the current mobility creep that is keeping them from seeing action in the current state of the game. The active, just for clarification, stops enemy champs from using dashes or blinks or any ability that gives them mobility in their kit if the are hit by a basic attack or single target spell of the champion using item 3022 active ability.

The game has seen so much mobility creep

It now needs to see something that can fight it. Anti-mobility needs to become a thing

Also, a proposition for Veigar. Give him 100 more range on his stun cage, but add the additional effect.

Enemies within the stun cage cannot see out of it. The entire game outside of the cage for them is Fog of War, similar to a Nocturne ult.

This way, you give him some power without without making him easier to land the stun, but you also add more unique play to his kit.

I would like to see another build path for Phage on Summoner's Rift.

I dont agree with letting people keep flash. that ruins the ENTIRE POINT of having a mobility lock.

Edit: I also forgot to add; frozen mallet is an HP-scaling non-CC bruiser item.

On things like Udyr, Wukong, volibear, and such its an extremely powerful tool in the right hands. Ashe support loves it because it gives her a stupid strong 50% perma slow on top of enough HP to help make her tanky.

I like the idea of denying mobility. It puts more focus on your choices in building items rather than getting plowed over by a team that can always run away from a bad engage.

Riot LCS Policy: If it denies LCS big plays, it will not be considered.
