With the introduction of glacial augment, I think it's time to axe Mallet for good

Frozen mallet is a cancerous item that will never truly be balanced. It is doomed to be hyper effective on Gnar Kennen Teemo KogMaw when it is decent for the rest of the champions in league.

It goes against riot's declaration that "all permaslows are unhealthy (Skarner item 3070)"

Now that we have glacial augment which does literally the exact same thing, but in an arguably MUCH better way, I think we can finally say goodbye to this dumbass item and make way for a new bruiser item that can hopefully be more balanceable.

I build Mallet on Kalista, she like Kogmaw can utilize it so well, even more so with her passive.

same, its fun with almost any champ that builds runaans, i sometimes use it on ashe and kindred too as a last item(to annoy people even more)

It's one thing to have a Perma-Slow in a kit (like Skarner) it's another to have an item you have to buy because it means you aren't getting other items.

I really don't think Riot cares that much about permaslows as long as a melee champion isn't doing it.

Or maybe,

Just add a ranged vs melee distinction and

Fixed.

Took me 3 seconds.

If he really needed mallet they could always just reduce the MS penalty on W.
