Frozen mallet isn't the problem it's the cancer champs who abuse it

Frozen mallet isn't a problem on 99% of the populus, the problem is when stupidly broken sticky champs like Gnar and Yasuo come along (No resource, retarded amounts of mobility and cc) comes its a 100% guarantee you will not get away unless they want you to.

Gnar has a cc on every ability on his kit. Couple this cancer with frozen mallet and he can't stop chasing you.

Seriously, frozen mallet isn't the problem, just gut the cancer champs already.

Sitting here reminiscing when people complained that frozen mallet was shit and no one used it.

Remember when everyone ignored swiftness boots and then the next day everyone loved them and anyone playing Ranked thought Udyr was literally hitler because of them?

Yeah, back when everybody was taking Boots of Mobility and calling Swifties "troll", showing how meta sheeps have no idea about the game.

Good old days.

So you should have a 40% slow every attack on top of 8 cc's to be able to do good with a cancer champ?

Ha.

Gnar should ge gutted untill he gets a rework IMO, like evelynn, yorick and kalista

imo gnar does not need a rework

Why would Gnar need a rework?

He is ultimately a healthy champion who merely needs a bit of number tuning.

he has no weaknesses. in mini he just outruns you with a slow and % dmg + a double jump to escape in mega he just chain ccs you. his mega grants him free sustain too

Frozen mallet is a problem everytime that it's viable. The item just shouldn't exist.

Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick, that item wasn't a "problem" since Fratmogs in 2012.

What did you expect?

Riot first buffs an item, that creates another abusable build, nerfs a random and unrelated item, that happens to be used in that build, then nerfs the champion and then maaaaaybe nerfs the actual problem, which ends up gutting all other items in question along with the champion.

Also don't call Yasuo stupidly broken, when his "intended" glass cannon-ish build has had around 48% winrate for months.

I hate when people bring up the winrate argument, because 98% of the games populus is gold and below, meaning they can't make optimal plays and lose because of it.

When in the hands of a GOOD player yasuo is unstoppable, but the scales are tipped because of the shit yasuos in the entirity of the populus.

If champs were analyzed with only diamond plus winrates would be a whole lot different.

Except that was 48% in Platinum and higher.
