[Rework] Freeze Spell Update - Affects Traps/Troops

[4ndy45]

So since SC released the fact that TH9s like me can now get freeze spell lv1, it doesn't really make me happy. First of all, what am I supposed to do with a 4 second freeze spell? Absolutely nothing.

So, the idea that I came up with is that freeze spells should now freeze traps, which could actually be used in attacks such as GoHo to freeze the GBS. Plus, if you had a troll base, you could freeze the traps for a few seconds and allow some troops to live.

The second part of this rework is that freeze spells should now "slow" troops, much like the poison spell. Following the icy theme, the troop's speed could be slowed by x% for x amount of time (A fair amount seems like 33% for 5-10 seconds).

I would appreciate some feedback, thanks!

1st, thanks for tipping me off about th9 getting Freeze Spell. Very excited! 2nd, I don't think that traps should be affected. I get it, I just don't think we need it. 3rd, Freeze Spell stops troops instantly anyways, so slowing them doesn't make sense if they are frozen already.

More like absolutely everything!!

Do you understand how powerful this is? Four solid seconds you can stop an X-Bow and a mortar from erasing your army!

Also, why are you complaining about the freeze spell at TH9? You aren't losing anything. It still costs the same. It is unlocked at SF level 4! Lvl 5 is just a spell capacity upgrade now.

Just choose not to use the spell.

Really? I thought it was just going to give us the upgrade

SC has made freeze spell available to th9 and yet you still find something to complain about?

If you find it useless, then don't use it....problem solved.

I for one kind of like the traps idea...

My intense disgust for you is incalculable. When I found out TH 9 was getting the freeze spell, I cried with joy for 2 hours, then I called my mom and we cried together. Then I called all the contacts in my phone and I apologized for any wrong I have ever done them, and I gave them my word that if they ever needed anything, that I would be there for them. Then I wrote a 274 page letter to Supercell's headquarters in Helsinki praising them for their benevolence and thanking them for the game overall. Then I transcribed that letter into a novel, and adapted that novel into a screenplay, and I pitched the novel to 6 different publishing companies, and got a call from Paramount Studios that they wanted to turn my screenplay into a movie, based on a review of the novel from Random House Publishing. Then I recorded a 10 minute power ballad about the depths of my emotion for town hall 9, and how strong the legion of 9 would become when we received the freeze spell. Then I adapted those lyrics into rap, and I sent them to Eminem's agent. After 7 minutes, I got a call from Eminem himself saying that not only would he record my rap, but he would pay me all the money he made from royalties, because it was an honor just to be the vessel of such moving and inspired words. . . . . . . . . . . Then I painted a 9x15 foot contemporary baroque portrait using oil paint on canvas of the freeze spell brewing in a level 4 spell factory, with a chorus of healers singing around it and focusing their beams into one giant freeze ray. Then I choreographed an interpretive dance of my emotion surrounding the freeze spell at th 9, and the metropolitan ballet immediately began production on a show based around that dance. They called it "Electrifying and soul piercing". And you say WHAT!?!? That a 4 second freeze spell is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!?!??!?!?!?!?!? WHAT IF YOU WERE ON YOUR DEATH BED AND THE GRIM REAPER APPROACHED YOU AND TOLD YOU YOUR TIME WAS UP, BUT YOU COULD HAVE 4 EXTRA SECONDS OF LIFE IF YOU WANTED??!? WOULD YOU WILLINGLY ACCEPT DEATH'S SWEET EMBRACE IMMEDIATELY, OR WOULD YOU ACCEPT THE 4 SECONDS???!.....................................Ye t you ask for more. Your hubris and gluttony and ungratefulness toward Supercell makes me despise the very ground you walk on, sir.

My dear friend... here is the internet. You earned this.

These are words of wisdom. I praise you for this

First of all. What happened above was amazing lol.

However, the freeze spell. I'm in a predominantly th9 hardcore war clan, everything is very nicely balanced at th9 currently. Buffing this freeze spell might not make a difference to this or it might make 3 stars too easy. Hard to know at this point. Safer to leave someone as beautifully balanced as max th9 wars alone. Bad enough they're adding an extra 30 seconds, we're already going to see a lot more 2 star strats getting lucky and claiming that 3rd star as it is.
