Overlords Bloodmail vrs Frost Mallet
 

so after playing 3 rounds today where the other team all stacked frost mallets I began to wonder something.

Whats the Point of overlords bloodmail if it is out performed by the Mallet all the time.

BloodMail
Recipe: Giant's Belt + Ruby Crystal
Total gold cost: 2565 (combine cost: 980)
+850 Health
Unique Passive: On kill or assist, heal 200 HP over 5 seconds.

Frozen Mallet
Total Price: 3250
20 Attack Damage, 700 Health. UNIQUE Passive: Physical attacks reduce your target's Movement Speed by 40% for 2.5 seconds. (30% for ranged attacks)


So for 800 gold less i can have 150 HP more and a passive that MAY help me if my team can get a kill compared too...

A utility that always helps and damage.


I just don't feel that the bloodmail is worth it or even a viable option over the frost mallets superior utility when i can get what the bloodmail does with a bit of lifesteal.

Discuss.

/agree.

I also agree

Personally i feel that they should have made a mini warmogs instead like, it has the base stats but doesnt stack

Blood Mail is for late game "I have nothing else better to build but another warmogs"
for what riot meant to make tt, into a double ace type game... getting 1 kill while ur 50 hp can save it being 3 for 3 into 2 for 3, in the late game that one kill less could mean alot. also if your highly skilled it can work out good

I agree, overlords bloodmail is pretty bad. Passive is useful only if I'm already winning and enemies die. I feel like it would be much better on SR.

imho they should change it into a weaker thornmail

Imho they should make it into an AP nuker item. Or maybe an atk spd / cd item with an active that spawns a dragon.

Oh and i agree with OP

they did this on purpose to give tanky champions the shaft. really ****ed over champions like volibear and mundo with this garbage item. not that warmogs was ever worth building after nerf, but still

Agreed with OP. I see no reason to get Bloodmail when I can just buy a Frozen Mallet.
