Why is Iceman not immune to Ice Effects?

He's ICEman. A living Ice organism. Human Torch is immune to fire effects why is Iceman not immune to Ice effects? Even Colossus is immune to Ice effects now. Seems like a major oversight that has gone on forever.

Havoc & Cyclops are immune to each others energy blasts. Thats even more of a niche comic book addition that Ice effects not working on THE Ice champ of the contest.

    This isn't a bug or an issue, and has already been discussed multiple times. Just use the search function and get your results.

    He doesn't need to be, and there is no reason for him to be immune. Logic aside, anything can happens

    Probably did that so he wasn't immune to 4 things. It wouldn't hurt for them to just have him immune to it now since there are champs who are immune to 4 things

    The guy asks a simple question and is told it isn’t an issue and has to deal with passive aggressive rhetoric. This exchange is a great example of what is wrong with Kabam - beyond things that could be improved within the game itself - there is no way to properly feel like you have a voice.

    “Logic aside anything can happen” is probably the strangest hill to die on and we aren’t going to take these kind of responses much longer.

    IDK. I think they just forgot to add it and now don’t want to admit it. But OP please use the search function I think this is probably the 2nd most discussed topic on these forums

    I'm not sure they "forgot"...more that at the time Iceman was released, Coldsnap was a new mechanic and thus Coldsnap immunity wasn't a thing. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think the first Coldsnap immune champ introduced was Mephisto, who was released around 6 months after Iceman.

    It's similar to how Incinerate wasn't a debuff when Hawkeye was released, which is why Hawkeye was given bleed on his Incendiary Arrow special.

    Hi! This is the intended functionality and not a bug.
