Yeaaahhh after doing one game, I'm pretty sure this feels worse. I already hardly ever did shatter since the change, and now I think I will just avoid it altogether. I kind of liked the small ice changes at least; having a moment part way through the match to regroup and have a bit of a breather to get small ice is fine, though it would be nice if it was used more in a way for the losing team to catch up on points a bit. Like maybe only having the ones in their base spawn? But man. Big ice sucks right now. It would be a lot nicer if only one spawned at a time and probably still needs less health, or at least a larger break in between them spawning.
They're slowing getting there with the changes, but still needs a lot more work... Strange how it always feels like the devs are always on the extremes when it comes to changes EXCEPT for when it comes to shatter.
