(Item Reworks) Rylai's Crystal Sceptor and Frozen Mallet

Frozen Mallet Build path unchanged +700 Health +30 Attack Damage UNIQUE Passive- Frost: Physical damage will apply Frost to targets hit for 1.5 seconds, causing them to lose 15% of their bonus movement speed. UNIQUE Active- Frostbite: Slam the Frozen Mallet down to the ground, releasing a wave that applies Frost to all nearby enemies for 2.5 seconds. Enemies with Frost already applied to them will instead be slowed by 10-75% for 2.5 seconds, the power of the slow decreasing with distance. (750 range, 1500 projectile speed) (60 second cool down)

Frozen Mallet is an item often abused by basic attack champions to permanently slow their targets, making escape from them incredibly hard. Here, we have changed Frozen Mallet to only apply to bonus movement speed and to a reduced effect of 15%. However, we have added the active effect Frostbite, giving it's users an extra effect that lets them slam the mallet to the ground, releasing a wave that applies Frost to all nearby enemies for 2.5 seconds instead of 1.5 seconds. Enemies that already have Frost applied to them will be slowed for either a small amount or a very large amount based on how far away they are. At melee range, it is an incredible 75% slow that will make escape very difficult. However, at max range, it basically only makes Frost apply to all movement speed instead of only bonus movement speed.

Rylai's Crystal Scepter + + + 850 Gold = 3500 Gold +600 Health +60 Ability Power UNIQUE Passive- Rylai's Mark: Your abilities will apply Rylai's Mark to enemies hit, causing them to lose 50% of their bonus movement speed for 2.25 seconds. (This is Halved for Area of Effect and Damage Over Time abilities and reduced by 75% for Summoned Pets) UNIQUE Active- Rylai's Wrath: The target enemy champion with Rylai's Mark on them is rooted for 1.5 seconds after a 1 second delay. (650 range) (90 second cool down)

With Rylai's, we are looking to change Rylai's back a Utility and Defensive AP item. First, we changed the build path to involve more health by removing Amplifying Tome and adding in a Ruby Crystal. We also increased the cost by 300 Gold to 3500 Gold. The stats provided have been changed from +400 Health and +100 Ability Power to +600 Health and +60 Ability Power. The stats to most may seem to have been nerfed and the cost increased, but this is for good reason. The Passive has also been nerfed to only apply to bonus movement speed and very nerfed for area of effect, damage over time, and summoned pets. It lasts for 2.25 seconds, which is longer than it used to by 0.75 seconds for single target and 1.25 seconds for other forms of spells, but it's slow potency is much weaker. HOWEVER, a new, very powerful Active effect has been added to it that causes enemies hit by your spells and therefore marked by Rylai's Mark to be able be rooted for 1.5 seconds after a 1 second delay. This is an EXTREMELY powerful single target effect that can be reliably used to both counter close range Melee Assassins and catch out enemies.

Thoughts? These are huge changes for these items, so I want feedback if you can think of any that is constructive. The changes to make the Passive slows only apply to Bonus Movement Speed is intended to make these items counter mobile champions, especially Rylai's. The slows on their passives are mainly meant to make small adjustments to the enemy's movement speed to allow you to catch up or get away, especially on Frozen Mallet since it only requires physical damage to be dealt.
