I didn't forget, it's simply not needed on a ranged carry (except maybe graves because of his free resists) since the slow it gives is less than for a meele fighter. Mallet takes up 3250 gold to build, and the hp it gives won't do much in the way of increasing survivability. I'd even say that building trinity is a better deal than mallet on a ranged carry.
