frozen mallet or warmogs

so my current tank champs that i play are gnar and sion and i'm wondering whether i would build mallet or warmogs as my last item on them. i'm leaning more to mallet as 1 it gives 700 hp, 30 ad, and makes all my auto give a slow to help my team get kills. where as warmogs just gives 800 hp and the weaker version of garen's passive. any thoughts?

I've always considered frozen mallet to be a situational item that requires 2 conditions:

  1. You have to be able to get in and stay in autoattack range of your targets.
  2. You're a big enough threat that getting frozen mallet would allow you lock down your targets easier.

Otherwise since you're playing a tank role, warmog's is a solid choice since it provides good scaling sustain for a tank (the health regen is based on a % value so it will scale the entire game). You have other options for defensive stats like randuin's omen and banshee's veil so don't limit yourself to choose between these two items.

unless you are someone like Shyvanna that wants to stay as close as possible to whoever they are targetting Warmogs is always the best choice
