Nononono. Don't nerf Glacial champs, nerf Glacial synergy (rework it actually).
The champs themselves are fine and some are even arguably grossly underpowered 
(Voli w/out Glacial is ass).
They need to rework how Glacial works (not just nerf it) then make Lissandra and Volibear viable outside Glacial comps.
And Yordles. Atleast with glacials i rarely have to worry about 3 or more Rank3 champs beating my face in. With Yordles its like, here have fun with this super mega evasion comp that has 5 Rank3 champs. Good luck. Lulu is fair.
I just totally half-assed a game. I rushed glacials, which isn't a great idea. I was afk for like 5 minutes. I didn't even notice my Sejuani was level 1, when I had level 2 on the bench. I didn't notice a champ with frozen mallet in the carousel. And I still finished 3rd, barely losing two fights to the first-placed guy. Glacials are clearly op.
They need to just reduce how often it procs and effect sizes for SOME glacial champs:
-
Reduce overall proc capabilities for Ashe (don't let hurricane proc or reduce its chances)
-
Reduce the size of Sej ult AOE. Almost a whole map freeze that lasts way too long.
-
Fix whatever bug it is when a champ gets frozen for over 5 seconds from 1 shot. I have had it multiple times. If it is intentional, then it is absolute nuts.
Voli and Lissandra are both compatible with other Comps.
Bruisers+Guardians for Voli. He gets atleast a 2peice Glacial out of it as well. Elementals+Whatever for Lissandra.
nobles too
Yordles are indeed annoying, but they at least can be addressed currently with rapid fire cannon (prevents attacks from being dodged) and would only need their numbers tweaked along with item drops having a more even chance or occuring.
Same can be said of Pyke and Lulu spell spam and how Demon teams and Kassadin can counter them somewhat.
Glacial however just seems poorly thought out and never feels fair. Three Glacial Champs have stuns as spells (Ashe, Lissandra, and Sejuani), so giving them the equivalent of Udyr E without any timing restriction is just asking for stun lock shenanigans.
Given the prevalence of guinsoos in this mode, I would actually suggest allowing glacial comps to lower or even reset attack speed would be better.
Glacial is so unfun to play against, I've suggested instead of a 2 second stun, put on a 30-50% slow of attack and move speed.
Please get rework glacials the stupid stun feels horrible to play against. I got knocked out into 5th place because my front line was quite literally frozen in place the entire time until they died. At the least make more of them level 4 (Ashe for example). Fighting against 4 or more glacials especially when you can turn another ranger besides Ashe into a glacial is such a terrible experience and I can see ruining ranked.
there should be a bonus giving immunity against status effects. time for a new class maybe?
they need to rework how glacials work because i would like to play the game but none of my champs can play the game because their frozen all the time :)
Here's an idea, replace glacial stun with slow, maybe both movement and atk spd slow. It can scale from 15% per 2 glacials up to 45%.
Should have a per unit on-effect cooldown.
Like if the glacial effect has been proc'd on an enemy unit, that enemy unit can't receive the effect again for 5 / 4 / 3 seconds or something like that.
It's so dumb losing the usual 45% stun rate and having been stunned out of a chance to fight back for the last 20 seconds of the round.
The thing with glacials is that they are so common that getting 2 or even 4 of them is ridiculously easy.
Meanwhile, other team compositions require 2 super rare champions…
The best rework I can think of for Glacials would be AS slow. Basically a Frozen Heart like ability. Say for every 2/4/6 Glacials, attacks will slow enemies attack speed by 10/15/20% for 2 seconds, non stacking of course.
try spreading out.
They should just make an item that makes you stun immune
My favorite thing in the world is going against a Yordle team when I have a pair of 2-star Varus on the field. Hilarious.
To be honest I think glacial is fine. Yes they are very strong and annoying to play against in lategame, but considering that it's really hard to get a glacial comp started, as they have 0 one-cost units and the 2 2-cost units are quite terrible (lissandra/braum) Also the glacial synergy has rather weak early game effect when compared how insanely hard wild or noble buff can carry you early.
I've played a lot of glacial and I think they are fine.
