It's sad because in theory Cold Snap is actually fun as fuck.
>Freeze a bunch of enemies
>Press Cold Snap which works ONLY on frozen enemies AND removes freeze
>They instantly get fucking obliterated and explode
The problem was that it was clunky as fuck to use, not only do you need to invest into freeze to consistently freeze enemies, the best skills to do so are fairly low damage (frostbolt/nova) or insanely slow (comet) to make up for it.
Cold Snap would have to be insane but the reality was that while it had great base damage relative to other abilities, it also only ever has a single use, so sometimes even tanky white mobs would live, let alone blue/rares and Bosses would basically laugh at it because it's going to take you an hour to freeze the boss again.
Not to mention that Cold Snaps AoE is pitiful so you had to stand there casting it a bunch of times which, despite its fast cast time (or maybe because of) was kind of anti climactic.
They could've went the "slow cinematic" style here and just slap a 1sec cast time on it but actually make it fucking rape anything that is frozen but alas, GGG is scared of players actually doing damage even in a multi step, multi investment combo, but Lightning Spear obliterating the screen after walking 5 feet is perfectly fine I guess.
