Ice Shower STILL a problem

I do wonder a lot about that insta dead coming from an ice shower. I would love to see a video in a real one vs one where someone dies insta from an ice shower.
I could maybe imagine that if someone is completely naked without gear and about 6k hp but even then i wonder.

Yeah yeah same reply as someone who plays GA when it was OP as well.

Thanks for your input though.

Looking at the way you write your posts i clearly see that you are mad about being countered by something you seem to get outplayed a lot.
That might be your own issue but the weapon is totally fine and doesnt need nerf.
Though i see a lot of people asking for nerfs just because they cant adapt to something or dont want to learn how to handle it.

Yes I know. Deflection, I’ve been through this before.

To be fair I’m the only one who thinks GA and IG aoe cc are op.

Thanks again for your input

I agree about the GA Gravity Well being to strong and a game changer especially in big group fights.

I’m don’t care whether you agree or disagree on ice shower.

But again, thanks for your input.

I fully disagree on the ice shower.

Really, why’s that?

Its very hard to catch someone in the ice shower but its very easy to avoid being catched in it.

Sure

I’m pretty sure if you get caught in an AOE cc you’re bad.

You’re just bad then i guess, i catch people all the time and watch my teammates wreck the ball i caught as i roll away. It’s stupid easy right now to secure kills as ig / ga.

No, it’s easy to catch people in it. You just don’t want your advantage to get nerfed therefore downplaying the power of your tool kit.

IG is one of the weapons I main at the moment. I would say there’s probably one concession that needs to be made.

Currently, if you get caught in ice shower, then rooted by the heavy, it will seem like you’re rooted for 6 to 7s.

What should happen in practice is that the immobilize can only last 3s unless reapplied by another ice shower. How it currently works is that the immobilize will keep reapplying itself till you leave the ice shower.

Said differently, if you’re immobilized by ice shower, walk to the right 1m but are still in it, then get rooted for 1s, you still have the full 3s duration of immobilize you have to deal with once the root subsides. What’s more balanced is that the immobilize just respects the original 3s once afflicted by it.

Yes sorry. I was parodying the GA/IG users.

It’s easy to catch people in ice shower because GA/WH users do not pay attention and just try to soak the cc. Then they die and whine on the forums.

Notice the decrease in “Roots are OP” posts - they now need to be specific now and name skills. Don’t want Gravity Well nerfed!

Hate to say it here but apparently developers didn’t aware this issue. Ice shower perk deadly frost need a fix. Currently it is always 8% no matter what gs ur piece is.

Yet if we make all weapons the same then what’s the point of having different weapons? Do we just make all armor, skills, weapons the same? That would be the easiest way to make things fair.

It is more difficult to balance a variety of weapons with a variety of skills that can mixed and matched in a variety of ways. In the end though the game is more interesting.

Fair doesn’t have to mean making everything the same. It doesn’t have to mean giving everybody a root or making all CC become stuns. Fair is ensuring that different skill sets, different weapons, different playstyles all pose a challenge to each other.

Perhaps it should act like Sacred Ground does and not be allowed to stack.

Yes it would require combatants to be more aware of their surroundings. Considering the WoW battlegrounds zerg playstyle currently used in OPR this wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Then your aren’t good, try something else. Probably GA / WH or a different game. I find it very easy to catch multiple people in ice shower.
