Frost Robot - too weak ? - Gammagulp - 2008-08-08
I played 2 games before and wanted to give the frost robot a try, because you can get it earlier than infernal.
I realized, that I can´t use the frost even with Ultimate well.
Hmmm, first of all when I tried to combine frost stun with ultimate cause of lags from 1 second up to 3 seconds I did nearly no damage with it, and because nearly every enemy has a teleporter (for example demon, short rage + teleport) I was not able to catch any enemy. The stun of 2 seconds didnt help me, because the frost robo himself is not that fast and every demon even has 2.5 sec, stun with 1500 Range dealing more damage ... ... ...
The aura dont help me killing anything and only the frost bombs are usable a bit.
I got the biggest tank with really good equipment and good weapons but .... maybe even with a demon Tank I would have killed people better.
The frost robot to me is not a strong Icy Tank who can freeze, its just Soft Ice which can be escaped from really easy just with a 3000 Gold teleporter. (And it is to weak for chasing the enemy with an own teleporter often)
I want to suggest pls change back the Frost to deal more damage and last at least 2.5 seconds. maybe delete that slow after the frost stun, because it dont help much against teleorter. If that frost after the stun could stop the possibility of using a teleporter it would be a great help, but I dont know if that is scriptable.
(The next point is the frost aura, since nearly every good enemy I played against take quiet short range in the end of the game the frost robot has really low use of an aura which slows enemies with the same range - maybe take another skill for it)
So maybe the frost Robot gets a real frosty guy and not an overnerfed tank I nearly noone see using it good enough so I can say it was a good buy (even with good weapons)

I agree that the Frost Robot needs some sort of small change, maybe make the ultimate be cast by a dummy unit, so that the Tank can move and the skill won't be stopped by stun.

I think 2.5 sec stun for ice prison fits nice with reduction of slow duration, but not more!
I've suggested earlier Frost Sphere spell.
Also make the blizzard spell selfsustaining could be a good idea. Hero casts 1 wave, dummy do the rest.
