With the coming of the new Cleaver, Mallet seems even less attractive
One problem in League is that when you have two items that offer somewhat similar stats, when one is just better you're never going to see the alternative. This has been the case with Morello's and Athenes for some months now and has recently become the case with Cleaver and Mallet.
Both provide AD, HP, and sticking power. Both have a similar price point. And while Cleaver has significantly less HP, the 20% CDR combined with heavy armor shred more than makes up for it. And that's not even counting the much smoother buildup.
So this got me to thinking.
Why not remake Mallet while we're at it into something a little different to prevent it from competing directly with Cleaver?
Who recalls Ionic Spark? Old item that was made for Dominion, then added to Rift, and then removed from both because ADCs weren't building it (lolwut). Part of Spark's issue was that it was a dead-end item. And you know what? It's time to change that.
+
= Ionic Spark
Grants IAS, HP, and
Stormcaller: Every fourth basic attack releases a Chain Lightning dealing 120 magic damage and hitting up to 4 enemy units.
Ionic Spark + 
= 
Grants a little more IAS, MOAR HP, and
Stormcaller: Every fourth basic attack releases a Frost Blast around the target, dealing 200 magic damage to everything in the area of effect. Additionally, the primary target is slowed by 40% for 1.5 seconds (30% for ranged champions).
Thoughts?
