Note

• Frozen Heart, Warden's Mail and its upgrade, Randuin's Omen and Thornmail, are the only items that can reduce attack speed. The attack speed slow of Frozen Heart stacks multiplicatively with Warden's Mail, Randuin's Omen and Thornmail, for a combined 27.75% attack speed slow.

Strategy

A snowflake icon appears above the head of enemies affected by Frozen Heart's aura.

• As with other aura items such as Abyssal Mask, Frozen Heart's debuff can give away potential ganks.
• Frozen Heart is an item best suited for tank champions because of the high amount of armor and cooldown reduction but can also be useful for tanky support champions as both tend on be middle of enemy team during teamfights thus spreading the aura. Examples include Maokai, Amumu, Wukong and Sejuani.
• The item also works well with champions that hunger cooldown reduction, have mana problems and make very good use of the passive for extra dueling potential. Examples include Warwick, as well as Nasus, Irelia, and Olaf.
• Frozen Heart is not recommended on Rammus, because Rammus usually equipped with a Thornmail and in order to deal damage he needs to be attacked, the more basic attacks he received the more damage output he will have. Frozen Heart has an attack speed reduction aura, that indirectly reduces Rammus' damage potential.
• It might be also good item for manaless champions, should they wish the combination of cooldown reduction, armor, and attack speed reduction in one item. Though it may be better to buy Randuin's Omen and/or Thornmail.
• Frozen Heart is one of the few items to counter champions that work heavily around auto-attacking like  Tryndamere, and ADCs in general.
• Liandry's Torment stacks with Frozen Heart in 700 range, effectively doubling Liandry's Torment damage. Useful on mage supports like Janna or Zyra.

Trivia

• The attack speed debuff affects champions, minions, and monsters, except for the Dragon, Baron Nashor, and Vilemaw, as they are immune to crowd control.
• Frozen Heart's old icon is the same icon used to represent a Citrine gem in the popular MMO World of Warcraft. In this game, the gem appears orange.
• The item's description "Warning: Do not thaw!" is a reference to the item Eye of Skadi from the mod DotA: Allstars, whose description contains exactly the same line.
• The Frozen Brain was a seasonal item for the 2010 Harrowing celebration. It has the same stats as the Frozen Heart, just a different name and picture.
• Currently, Frozen Heart offers the largest amount of  armor from a single item.
