Please make an alternative upgrade to Phage.

It's silly that you can't really get Phage unless Sheen is also a good item for you. (After Triforce gets nerfed at least.) Please think of the marksmen who don't spam spells or don't scale off AP.

How about "Frozen Mallet", do you think that sounds like a cool idea?

FM doesn't build off phage anymore...

It WAS though. I'm just saying, we HAD an alternative to Phage, and people really didn't build it all that much.

We have Entropy on other maps :D

I didn't even know what Entropy ended up being since I only play on Summoner's Rift. Seems like a really cool bruiser item to me, but if it were migrated to SR I feel no melee champion would ever pick up Frozen Mallet anymore.

For marksmen I can't think of any item you'd want to replace with Entropy, since the requirements to build AD, crit, movespeed, armor pen, attack speed and lifesteal imply that every item in your build except for a defensive item should have at least two of those stats. IE, BT, PD, Shiv, Bork, Triforce, LW all fit this pattern.

And after 2 years now we have "The Black Cleaver"

No, because a movespeed buff item building into a slowing item doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Frozen Mallet has nothing to do with Phage anymore, so I'm not sure why you even brought it up.

Because it USED TO

And this is relevant ... why? Phage is a completely different item from when Frozen Mallet built out of it. You might as well be talking about how Randuins used to be built out of Heart of Gold.

Fine, if I HAVE to be relevant, what if we had "Unfrozen Mallet" which is pretty much like Frozen Mallet but with the Phage speed boost instead of the slow.

Phage need an another build path in SR and Frozen Mallet is the most obviusly reason because both are "hammer":

item 3022 Frozen Mallet:

700 hp 30 atk

item 1011 Giant Belt (1000g) + item 3044 Phage (1200g) + 700g = 2900g

Active: Icy: Your basic attacks steals your target's Movement Speed by 20% for 1.5 seconds (movenment speed bonus halved to ranged champions)
