For some champions it really is, like champs with no CC or who simply want some early slow and later build it to a Frozen Mallet after finishing other Items. Example: I had a tactic with Fiora and Pantheon, I bought an early Phage to get some slow early and built some items after finishing my Frozen Mallet. Now I can't have an item giving me slow before my Frozen Mallet, the slow I got helped grabbin a few kills. Havin to wait for 3.3k gold for an item giving a slow can be painful.
