I think a lot of people find it very annoying, and I also thought there was a time where people said "No gun effect should disable someone or prevent them from fighting back", but that's what the ice cube does. You're 100% fucked if it affects you, and you don't even need to be SHOT for it to work; if people miss and the bullet goes close to you, lol ice cube'd.

i mean almost every godlike suffix has no downsides.

where's the downside to thrakos lightning, or tartarus beam?

Bit of a difference between "effect that can take a bit to kill you, while retaining full function and/or something you can avoid or mitigate" than "missed shot freezes you, deals high damage and you can't do anything"

Using a normal CCD not extinct I've had several headshots that ended up saving that persons life by the cube proc instead. Plus its a deagle, like it requires some level of skill to use. It's also TTT, not some deathmatch game mode. Traitors are supposed to have the upper hand by default to make up for the numbers. I could be very wrong, but to my knowledge the damage in the cube isn't buffed from the ccd to the extinct ccd (Correct me if wrong). Also, extinct weapons are supposed to be the end game goal. The full intent behind them is to be powerful. If you are in the cube you can still call people out for doing it by typing . There are plenty of ways around cube and/or to make it not good. Just because it irks you personally doesn't mean its ridiculously powerful lol.
In b4 nerf terranables.

Well, one of my main points was you don't even need to land a shot on someone to freeze them. You can literally miss and still freeze them, which is what I think is unfair. If you headshot someone and it ice cubes instead of killing them, that's stupid too. I'm not implying the ice cube should be removed, just revamped.

The rest of the extincts don't seem to be valued that much compared to the CCD. But what ways ARE there around the cube? If someone sprays the deagle at you, and doesn't land a single shot, you can still be frozen and rendered unable to move, shoot, etc. That doesn't seem fair.

A decent change would be that if you land a non-killing blow, it can freeze the person. But you can't just whiff a shot past their shoulder and immediately cube them. That's pretty lame.
