What if we gave Iceborn Gauntlet's slow a proper cool down so EZ cant abuse it?

Players including myself are getting pretty sick of Ezreal being abl to perma slow AOE damage because of one item. IBG is such an incredibly strong item on him that once he gets it he pretty much becomes untouchable because of the perma slow.

Rather then nerf Ezreal however why not change the item proc to have an actual proper cool.

Say like, a Bigger AOE and stronger slow but maybe give it a 20-30 second cool down to stop its constant abuse?

Cause it would be a huge nerf to several immoble melee champs that need it to stick to people.

Give the cooldown to ranged champions only then, I guess.

That we can agree in.

But 20secs is a bit to long. Perhaps double the cd and a lesser slow

Or heres an idea. Make the fucking GAUNTLET a melee only item.

And then it can never become an option on any ranged champion ever again.

Because Ezreal alone was abusing it.

It SHOULDNT be an option on a ranged champion. Why in the world should a ranged champion (typically ap), get a second option to get basically permanent slows on people making melee champions there absolute bitch when they get item 3116 . The entire point of iceborn gauntlet is to have a mana item and a slow that helps the typically immobile tank class to help them not get kited into oblivion. When the enemy adc can build this item, get 65 armor, and kite literally anything other than a runic echoes udyr, its a problem. Its not meant to be for ranged champions, nor should it be.

all spellblade effects have a cooldown of 1.5 seconds. if they nerf it for ezreal. ez gonna need some ad buffs on his W.

Honestly, Ez just needs the buff they gave him not too long ago reverted. He wasn't weak, so I don't even understand why they buffed him in the first place.

Alternatively, make the IBG effect only work if you're within X range of an enemy, so Ez can't just spam Q from across the lane and chunk half your health per shot.
