melee items make no sense to me
what is the purpose of phage and frozen mallet?
these items only help when you are already in melee; phage is probably better for sticking to other melees than it is for getting anywhere near a range
mallet isn't even bought on melees lol, it's an item for Kalista kog gnar to cheese you with ranged permaslow
ice born is similar. I think this itemization is very silly, most bruisers are already very sticky and these items (especially ice born a season ago) just make them more obnoxious when it's strong, but don't let them full any weaknesses, instead it exacerbates their strengths. imo this is what makes bruiser fighters so hard to balance in the past
your thoughts?
