So i have found myself wanting to play Glacius lately he has an awesome concept and is really seems like a cool hero, but after playing him a few times and reading more then a few guides i find myself quite depressed at his strengths and weakness's. he has ALOT more weakness's than strengths in his current incarnation. so i think its time for a change here. i know he is a port of a hero and many people may find changing him not to their liking, but this is Hon not Dota so change is good.

well this seems reasonable but in actual use the damage from it especially late game is next to nil really all it becomes good for is kill stealing. not the best way to have a good game if u ask me my suggestions is something like this
keep the mana cost and cool down the same they seem fair for what you are getting.
make it target a unit not an area this will make usage a lot easier one we get into the next change.
have it deal 90/180/270/360 damage to units it targets and less damage the farther away from the point of impact you know, like and explosion of ice this claims to be.(also because even nymphora deals more damage than this as an aoe and hers even heal!)
maybe reduce the radius to 300 to justify the damage increase.

now this is a good aoe it hits like a truck when and if it hits them. i have a couple of suggestions not about damage or mana cost but of mechanics of how this is used.
make it a target position. you are extremely squishy and the amount of danger u have to put yourself in just to use it as is is ridiculous. you hit r and you are dead.
keep it channeled i like that it is and it makes sense.
make the radius slightly smaller to justify it targeted as well as make it more likely to hit the enemy.
now one other thing i want to touch on here is his walk speed(hover speed) is terrible seriously he could walk faster then he hovers and to make it all the worse he is probably the most fragile hero there is.
i suggest that he have his walk speed bumped up to ATLEAST 295, because everyone else is either rock solid or speedy and our poor friend Glacius is neither.
(also i know that S2 will change the numbers to their liking which i good... i hate the damn things, also... i hope this is the right forum for this =/ i am kinda confused how this is works)
