Is this trolling?

His first ability is not overwhelmingly useful but nice, like most first abilities. Freezing specific enemies solid for several seconds is a useful gift when you have to handle tough enemies like a Nox. Turning his first (!) ability into an exalted weapon and go into a crazy rampage including several weapon and ability traits is just bullshit and not how this game works at all.

Avalanche works similiar. When modded properly, you freeze enemies solid and give them a hefty armor reduction debuff. With Icy Avalanche you can also gain damage absorption if you handle to freeze a significant amount of enemies. What you suggesting is the possibility to just spam the ability without any thoughts other than energy consumption and consequently gain absorption for every cast.

Also, realize what Frost can already do. Not only is he capable of crowd control/debuffing and one of the best frames for defensive tasks, he also is very durable due too high armor and improved shields. With armored agility, you can more than balance out his only real flaw, his reduced speed, and make him a really good frame for most general and several specific mission types. I kinda get that you want to make him "cooler" and the passive is (like most passives) not particularly useful but thats not the way things work in warframe. We could make any frame into a superhero who just overwhelms his enemies like promotional material suggests but that gets boring pretty soon. The real magic of warframe is too understand the difficult mechanics and always find new ways to improve yourself.
