General

• Feedback to Ymir's wall change was quite positive, but it didn't really do much for his metrics. Ymir is still really struggling in the current meta, so we wanted to look at some more specific buffs instead of just quality of… YMIR IS HERE. Ymir, please, i'm trying to work. QUIET YOU DESIGNER JUST BUFF YMIR. i'm already doing that, ok? Just calm down. NO YOU CALM DOWN. sigh… enjoy mid season everyone. BYE BYE PLAY MORE YMIR.

• Ymir is the last, but certainly not the least, Guardian on this list. The Frost Giant is struggling to bring the level of control needed to compete with other guardians.

General

• Hi! Ymir excels as a character that can bully players with his club and strong base damage abilities but he often struggled to maintain a powerful frontline presence in the mid and late game. Frostbite now decreases the damage dealt by those afflicted (in addition to what it already does) which should not only allow Ymir to survive in the front line more reliably, but give him a nice tool to help his team as the game progresses.
