Even though I don't have a frost, I think I can explain as to why people are very frustrated with the nerf of snowglobe.

I think I can speak for most frost players that they wouldn't neccessarily care that most of frosts abilities got nerf, but just not snow globe. As you know, Snow globe was the best ability when it came to doing defence, because it had no Health bar, but that didn't exactly make it OP'd. The reason as to why people scream OP on DE is because of unfair damage/advantage over another warframe/weapon, but Snow Globe did not present itself with any of these problems. Snow globe was best used to prevent your team, as well as your self from dieing when it came to higher levels, and it also didn't do any damage. Snow globe was like Rhino's Iron skin, but for the whole team, so no one complained, and you could carry noobs to end game to help them level from unranked to like 20 in one run.

The problem sets in when you put a health bar on a big shooting target such as snow globe. Not only will it not last as long as Rhino's iron skin, but it also greatly decreases your chances of making it to higher levels, and cannot compete with rhino's iron skin anylonger, thus, because frost is possibly the slowest warframe in the game, it forces most frost players to either switch to rhino if they still want to tank, or use another warframe to make it in end-game. In terms of utility AND survival, frost deperately needed his snow globe to keep his team and him alive, but since DE decided to put a health bar on an enormous globe, it makes Frost obsolite. One could even say he probably won't even be viable, much less able to solo at the end of the starmap.

Snow globe didn't neccessarily make it an easy game, because you still had to manage your own gun's ammo and preserve any idiot tenno's from killing themselves before the last wave of a defence mission, or making it towards extraction in survival before it's too late. IMO this was the stupidest thing DE could have done, and I'm severely dissapointed in their decisions. v-v
