Talk:Frozen Mallet/@comment-8468980-20140607034546/@comment-25301945-20140928023758

I remember when Xyph posted this; to his day I still view it as him talking in circles. He spends the first 3/4th's of his post pointing out that Frozen Mallet essentially has Atma's syndrome - if it's ever buffed to be more than a barely viable niche-item then it's suddenly OP as all hell. then right at the end he cockteases by saying that there's plenty that could be done to fix the item, but he nor the balance team feels like doing it. And yet here the Frozen Mallet stays, still in the game but completely untouched through any kind of PBE experimentation.

Bottom line: if devs really think FM is no longer necessary, then just cut the damn thing already. If not, then actually TRY out a few reworks on PBE and stop sitting around waxing-poetic about all the problems the item brings to the table.
