Is Frozen Heart a little bit too cheap?
2450g
100 armor, 400 mana, 20% cdr attack speed of nearby enemies reduced by 15%
I suppose for the stats given it's not like a 3k cost item; the item has no HP, and while mana is nice it's not a high value stat late game. But I think the low gold cost is a remnant of the fact that this item used to be unpopular in previous metas.
Tank items are intended to be cheaper than carry items, part of the design that tanks are supposed to powerspike mid game, but ultimately late game carries are the kings, but compared to most other tank items except thornmail it is pretty cheap.

If you look at a lot of problematic tank champions in recent metas, they utilize frozen heart very efficiently.
for example
I will admit, I suppose I am a biased Gnar player (I'm halfway through making this thread and I realize how I may be biased :o). I'm not proposing a deletion of Frozen Heart or anything tho. Ya, a "nerf" to frozen heart would be a stab at the tank class... it would slightly tip things more toward bruisers again maybe.
What do you think about Frozen Heart and tanks?
