Why is Frozen Mallet still in the game?

Quite literally, the only champions who build this item are Yasuo (god knows everyone hates this piece of work already) and ranged champions that end up in top lane like Teemo and Kennen or Kog'Maw coming from the typical ADC role. Yasuo becomes frustratingly difficult to peel whilst he auto-crits you to death whilst the item on ranged champions makes any melee without a gap-closer or mobility absolutely worthless after one auto-attack. For all of the items that have been removed over the years, I'm baffled this 'thing' still exists.

RIP: Atma's Impaler, Deathfire Grasp, Force of Nature, Spellbreaker, Wriggle's Lantern, etc...

Could've sworn there was a Riot post in 2013/2014 saying that they would get rid of Frozen Mallet eventually... No luck so far

If they get rid of Frozen Mallet, they should remove Rylai's as well. :/ Its pretty much the same vein as Frozen Mallet.

I build frozen mallet on Leona occasionally. If they have an escapey teamcomp, I like it.
