Let's Fix Loki

First let's start with his second special which is broken. It should be unblockable but isn't.
This issue occurs when facing other players champs due to the issue lying with dexterity. So arena, AQ, and AW are all issues for him. It has been this way for a few weeks without being fixed. Probably due to him not being a highly used champ.
So loki’s second special is a two part special. He does an initial swipe with his staff, and then conjures ice spikes up from the ground that travel across the stage. This special should be completely unblockable but the staff swipe at the beginning is not unblockable. Only the ice spikes are. The issue with this is if you use the special on a blocking opponent the staff swipe doesn’t hit, and then 90% of the time the CPU activates dexterity, evading the ice spikes and attacking back into Loki.
This is strange to me because in any other instance of unblockable specials or unblockable special nodes the intial move is whats unblockable which in turn allows the rest of the special to hit. In Loki’s case the first part of the special isn’t unblockable and the second part is which is a terrible design.
I want to be clear this is not just sometimes or in certain instances. Its 100% of the time. And if I played a regular event quest the CPU still blocks the first part of the special before being hit by the second part. So even thought they cant evade it with dexterity it still lowers Loki’s damage output which is lack luster to begin with. Please fix this as it is obviously frustrating to have an unblockable special blocked.
Now the real reason for the post.
I think Loki who is a demi-god deserves some sort of a buff as a champ. He is one of the worst champs aside from his prestige. Loki is too cool to not be useful in the game. With all the new abilities of the newer released champs Loki is outdated and I would love to see some more utility for him.
Since you guys played off his Ice Giant background with the ice special. Perhaps adding Frostbite, and coldsnap (or similar abilities) such as iceman to Loki’s second special would up his damage output enough to make him a desired champ. This would also put some strategy into play with the champion. It would have you decide weather to use his first special to steal abilities, or use his second special for raw damage.
Just spitballing here but another option that would enhance the champ if you wanted to keep Icemans abilities specifically for iceman would be to add scarlet witches veil of fortune ability to him, which would trigger random buffs or debuffs. This would also make sense since he is the God of mischief.
There are tons of possibilities that could be explored with Loki and I feel like his has been cast aside and forgotten about. As of now people cringe when they pull him from the 5star crystal, and he is probably my largest regret rank up in the game to date.
