If you want to see something interesting, go to Search, set your filter to TFT and just type Glacial

And look at the massive wall of posts saying how absolutely toxic and unfun glacial is to play against.

Seriously, I've had games where I had literally the best luck I've ever had. Hitting several level 3s and getting full comps and fully stacked champions, beating every single person down, nobles, blademasters ETC... then I play against glacials and just go, "I hope my champion can actually auto attack once before being stunned forever."

Then of course, my team of level 3s and stacked items are torn apart by level 1s and level 2s. As ahem... The Ashe/Volibear/Braum/Lissandra/Sej/Anivia perma stun my tanks with auto attacks, then anivia ults on my backline, rendering my auto attacks practically worthless, Sejuani ults my entire team, Braum puts up his shield to block what little damage my backline shoots out, Liss ults someone (most likely my backline) and volibear applies AOE freezing with his freaking electric nonsense.

Oh and fun fact, even if you're running 6 yordles? EVEN IF YOU DODGE THE AUTO ATTACKS, THE GLACIAL STUN STILL PROCS ANYWAY.

Note the last guy had like 7 health left and I was at about 50.

He had 6 glacials, 2 rangers, and 2 guardians.

I had 6 Yordles, 3 Sorcerers, 2 gunslingers, and 2 knights. With a fully stacked Level 3 Trist, Fully stacked level 2 jinx, a leve 3 Gnar, a Darius and Poppy with Warmogs and literally every item on every champion.

I lost every single fight vs that guy, simply because my units were perma-frozen to death.

I know I've made several posts about glacial, hoping that someone on Riot's team would see it, but it's not just me. Since the freaking PBE beta, people have been saying how busted Glacial is. They said it on the PBE, then said it when it released on live severs back in JUNE. And they're still saying it now.

It's almost September, with several patches and literally not one single patch has touched Glacials AT ALL. And I don't mean the champions, I mean the glacial auto attack stun nonsense.

This is going to be my last post about glacials. I'm just not gonna play TFT anymore. If the next patch leaves glacials completely untouched, I'm just.... done. I love TFT a lot. I adore it. But glacials literally drains all the fun out of it for me. Keep nobles, keep Pyke with Spear of Shojin, keep Draven ridiculously powerful, keep it all. But glacials? No more. ._.

Sorry..... I stomp Glacial with Noble :)

Here's a hint: Build Sword Breaker and have at least 2 Gunslingers. Front line Glacial won't even get the chance to attack, and Ashe alone can't CC a team.

glacials and brawlers are the most unfun to play against. Gunslayers probably are on third place once you get a lot of on-hit cc items.

I've preached about the B.S. of glacial as well. I typically run sorcerer build, and I put my 3* morgana up front with thornmail and GA. I use her as a sacrifice to let my other champs gain up mana to just stomp their team. Then by the time the GA pops she is full mana and she hits em with the double AoE dmg and stun and I'd say 80% of the time I whip their sissy ass glacial comp.

People still complain about glacial? When glacials actually do something meaningful like actually win come and complain about them.
