Frost's Avalanche

[AcholSucks]

i was hoping if you guys can bring back the whole freezing delay after casting then the explosion after a certain period :T since the current avalanche is non other better but the same as the old one but just a minor visual improvement :T

I don't understand either why this feature was called a bug and then being removed.

[Hyunsai]

Because some players complained about it, failing to see how the 5 second stun + damage was better than damage alone.

 

Yeah, you heard it right.

It would be good if the freezing effect for several seconds is restored, but damage should be applied before the freeze phase, so you know which enemies will survive the Avalanche, and other frames does not waste their energy killing mobs that will die anyway.

Wow, just.... wow

 

Does everyone wants damage instead of utility?

It was removed because range mods shouldn't affect duration.

It was removed because range mods shouldn't affect duration.

They should have fixed the range bug, and then given it an equivalent duration to what it had at max range before. As it is, it's a lackluster radial damage ult which half the frames in the game have, and with a poor damage type to boot.

Great reason.

+1 x billions

 

im still waiting for this to be restored

can not use frost until avalanche has freeze duration again, it matched his attributes and theme perfectly, until then he collects dust 

[AcholSucks]

welp too bad DE didnt see this thread eh :T

[RealPandemonium]

The damage is 50% stronger now than it was.  Annoyed by the removal of the stun?  Saryn has a stun on her 4 and it does 4 times the damage old Avalanche did. 

[HAYABU5A]

DE please do not forget about this, avalanches freeze duration

 

many people cant play frost until this is fixed as they built him around it, choosing instead not to use snowglobe

 

its still a ongoing issue its just most arnt saying anything because they have given up completely on frost

Because it actually was a bug and not a feature. It didn't work like that before the patch that caused it, and there was nothing in the notes about it, thus it's not intended.

 

Same reason Oberon's Renewal auto-reviving was fixed. Because it was a bug and not intended.

Avalanche worked like that forever, you can even find very old youtube videos. 

 and its the only thing that made his ult viable past mid-levels and saving skill since Globe nerf

 

Oberon bug was removed because half of the time he would get stuck in half-dead state unable to use his wapons or even turn the camera. Btw Oberon is very weak and needs buffs all around too.
