Iceborn Gauntlet and Frozen Heart

item 3025 item 3110 Do these items really need 20% cdr? I feel like these items already fulfill their role as a defensive/damage item with their high armor, mana and passive. They both give some of the highest armor from all armor items in the game. The mana they give allows ad bruisers and juggernauts to cast more, providing more damage overall. Iceborn is an offensive choice, with extra damage and slow while Frozen Heart is more of a anti-as item. Do they really need 20% cdr after all that? Not to mention its due to the cdr that champions like Ezreal Ekko can abuse this item more effectively. Also, ad bruisers that want to run item 3071 item 3065 item 3025 find the extra 10% cdr to be wasteful.

I propose that these items have their cdr lowered to 10%. Following this item 3024 should also have cdr removed or item 3025 will be losing cdr when combined. In return perhaps a slightly lower recipe cost on item 3024 . They will still be able to fulfill their role as a armor/mana item and bruisers dont feel bad about the 10% extra cdr. Also it will potentially lower the threat of tankko and blue ez, who abuse item 3025 often. Overall these two items will still be able to fulfill their roles while opening new possible build routes and lower the abuse.

IBG could stand to not be 20%. It use to be 10% with some AP and it was bought but nowhere near as popular.

Frozen heart is fine with 20%.

Exactly back then IBG was much less abusable by ez ekko even though it gave ap FH with 20% cdr is kinda finetoo. The main problem is IBG

lol, trust me it's balanced. The best way for you to learn just how balanced items are, is try to get higher stats with difference runes and items. You'll learn just how balanced things are and how things are grouped so that you are choosing one stat over the other.
