Frozen Mallet, some extra utility

Stacona·Apr 16, 2016·1 votes·418 views

Frozen Mallet seems a little left out, so since this an utility item and a MALLET and well mallets like to beat things down and break things to a pulp.

So apart of what it does already it could gain an additional effect passive of...

Basic attacks against slowed targets reduce their bonus armor by 10% stacking up to 4 times for a maximum of 40% for 2 seconds [duration constantly resets remember with every re-applied basic attack]. This makes sense to be as a marksmen utility defensive item to help kite and kill tanks and bruisers. Pretty much this separates it from iceborne and gives it a reason to buy mallet over iceborne (the reverse be true as well). But this be a nice buff to help beat that Irelia and Malphite to a pulp without making the item over the top.

Frozen mallet is raw utility with a pile of hp stacked on it.

It doesn't get built because it has no resistances. If there were 7 item slots, it would probably get used a lot as then the health would multiply well with the resistances.

As it is, anything that made mallet more attractive would likely make it overbearing.

We had it in meta-golem back in the day. That doesn't need to return.

Let it stay as a niche item for when you really need that slow.

You know, I think Mallet is fine as it is now. It has reasons to be picked, and reasons to not be picked. I like to build it on Teemo and Gnar, but not Lee Sin or Jhin. It has a niche, and anything more would just expand that niche to be not so niche-y anymore. :P
