Hi!! I have a little suggestion to improve sportsmanship on maps with two shamans. You have already implemented a feature where the "Unburstable" skill is not active on these maps, which is great, and helps reduce the time shamans spend fighting.

However, I notice that many times, when one shaman is killed, they get angry and start using ice block on all of the mice. It's only done out of spite and to hurt the surviving shaman in any way possible.

I can see no reason why a dead shaman really needs ice block - especially while the other shaman is still alive and perfectly able to use ice block on any troll / staller mice. Therefore, I hope you will consider my suggestion to make dead shamans unable to use ice block on 2-shaman maps! Thank you!!

It's intended as far as I know; to speed up rounds.

Oh, good to hear! Thank you Haruhi. :)

I mean, what's the point of taking away the ice?
The sham dies doesn't want other to get saves

Doglitter, I made this suggestion for a wide variety of reasons; I hope you can consider all of them!

1. Sportsmanship: I personally never ice block mice after being killed on a shaman battle map. I think it is good sportsmanship to accept defeat and not harm innocent mice in an attempt at petty revenge on the other shaman. I think it's pretty rude and purely a malicious move, and it hurts the mice who should have no involvement in a battle between shamans.

2. The creator's intent for ice block: I'm pretty sure the purpose of ice block was solely to give the shaman power to kill troll and staller mice who are wasting time. In the situation described, these are not "troll" mice being iced, they are innocent, so the ice block is not being used for what it was intended. Also, the surviving shaman is still able to use ice block on any troll mice, so the original purpose of the ice block is not undermined.

3. It "fits" with other recent changes in shaman battle maps: In the interest of making maps move faster and not having endless fights between the two shamans, the creators have already implemented some changes to shaman battle maps: making the "unburstable" skill not function on dual-shaman maps, for example. This change would align with the intent of these changes that have already been implemented. If mice start getting iced all over the place, it can make it more difficult for even the surviving mice to reach the hole, and so the round takes a lot longer to finish. Removing it in this scenario would help to speed up the round.

Thank you for your time! :)

And thank you for the support, Tahalechef!
