Sup, in case some of you didnt know: With 11.0.5 we are now able to cast portal during ice floes, which is completely irrelevant.
As a tradeoff Blizzard also sneakily removed ice floes weaving with it, which has been a thing since ice floe was introduced and allowed us to get a bit more value out of the charges when timing an ice floes use towards the end of a cast.
I feel like the utility balance of Ice Floes vs Shimmer was in a very good spot before and i have no idea how this stealth nerf makes sense in a game with ever decreasing cast times. Wouldve been a good occasion to add haste scaling to ice floes recharge rate as a compensation but i guess a bit of foresight is too much to ask from such a small indie studio.
It surely is fun having to cancel more casts now due to movement.
Thanks Blizz.
