After Finnick’s refresh a bit ago, Frozone is now the weakest control in the game. Using him in my main team, he’s useless for keeping enemies under control, and his only real use is his EVE disk. I’ve noticed that refreshes aim to make the character potentially OP (especially Jack Sparrow), so that’s what I’ll aim to do. Quick disclaimer though, I’m listing these as options, not all together as a package.
White: Stay Frosty
This skill is pretty terrible for control. Freezing for 4 seconds with level is useless against heroes with high tenacity or level.
- Remove the level cap and add a stat reduction, like reality or tenacity.
- Lengthen the freeze time by a hefty amount, preferably doubling or even tripling it.
Green: Cold Front
Although the damage isn’t the worst, this skill benefits almost nothing to the team besides a little extra damage.
- It would be logical for this to slow by a certain percent, maybe 30-60%.
- Hitting multiple enemies would make sense with the name of the skill.
- Energy reduction, maybe around 200
Blue: Artic Chill
A slightly decent skill, this freezes for 8 seconds on enemies below a given level. Unlike most other skills, this lasts for 2 seconds instead of failing if the enemy is above level.
- Slowing by a percent after the freeze ends would fit the title
- Increase the lowest freeze time from 2 to 5 seconds, and the max from 8 to 10
- I’m not too sure on this one, but max hp reduction during the effect?
Purple: Frostbite
Frozone’s most unique skill, Frostbite makes his freezes do fantastic damage per second. It’s not an awful lot, but it’s fantastic damage.
- Make it global. With the freeze meta, this would instantly elevate Frozone to top status.
- Double/triple the damage. It doesn’t do much enough damage to set Frozone apart, currently.
Mr Inc. Disk: Bowling Night
While this may be good for damage tanks with up to 25% more damage done and an armor gain, generally I think it’s overlooked in favor of the EVE disk.
- Increase the damage gain to 7.5%/10% per star level.
- Extend the disk to all heroes on team
EVE Disk: Cool as Ice
In my opinion, this is Frozone’s saving grace. The heal is more than twice as big as Yax’s heal, and is also team-wide, although it only works on those under 50% hp. I’ve yet to find if EVE’s white spreads it, but I know that it’s been a lifesaver for me in many situations.
- Each star level should increase the amount of hp needed to be frozen by 5%-10%.
- Reality negation should be shared with allies, given the supportive nature of the disk.
PS: Hey Polaris, the preview for topic/post creation is gone. It doesn’t appear next to where I’m typing anymore. Could you please fix this? Thanks in advance.
I haven’t changed anything, but I’ll take a look.
