Frost mage

[🄿ɸ🅃🅂🄲🄷🄸]

I think Frost Mage is too weak. In general I think the frost debuff is too weak. Some of my opponents had over 60 frost and it just didn't help. In my opinion, frost shouldn't make you slower, it should also do some damage and slowing.
General stop nerfing and start buffing if you want a good balance.
So much builds are just bad over platin for example the dog build which i really like.

With 60 freeze on enemy you would have guaranteed crits and 120% bonus crit damage on the weapon aimed by the cryoflame and if the weapon you used was frostbite, it would do massively more.

With 60 freeze your opponent is 120% slower meaning that busted blade they are holding?, yeah, it became 11s long cooldown. That debuff cleansing armor with 3s cooldown?, now is 6.6s. How about wisdom puppy that is supposed to cleanse freeze?, you gonna apply freeze like in tens per second while they only cleanse 1 and their cleanse only gets slower and slower the more freeze is applied, the more freeze is applied the slower their cleanse, defense, offense and ramp get. If anything, there's no rational way of ever defending self from cryomancer other than nuking them before they freeze you, having more haste than freeze or playing berserker and out of spite making 3-4 pairs of dragonscale boots, another option is wolf emblem/poison ivy and having tim slotted in armor.

So no, if anything, there's no defense from freeze and since you said you applied 60 freeze you were high rolling and steamrolling, without screenshots or description of both backpacks can't really judge what happened but guess you met someone who just had superior defense while having enough haste to not become stuck or your build was too slow to freeze and by the time you reached 60 freeze you were either low hp or they put lots of poison/blind on you.

Cryo is just too RNG dependent. Or I suppose it's more along lines of Pyro in general is too reliable to build which makes going cryo dumb gamba if you playing to win.

It could be one of those situations where Cryo needs to be made a little more reliable to build but a little less powerful I haven't messed with Cryo since a couple of patches ago so I can only speak to what I've battled against, got decimated twice and the rest were pretty weak.

They buffed cryo items spawn rate a lot, now getting frozen to death is a valid concern in survival. Early on it is quite weak, so I suspect the play is if you go cryo and don't roll enough scrolls just try to take 10 wins and leave.
