Aaron asked me about cold res limits, so I kinda went overboard again this morning....
Conclusions at the bottom, shared discussion for interested parties reference.
Okay so here's my conclusion:
1. Balance around the standard Fathom/Nw setups.
2. If anyone manages to get a gg-CM orb to slightly cheese, let them use it as is vs the Fathom/Nw rules
3. Ban the use of Doom, its literally not good and ONLY intended for cheesing people with massive -res / freezing. In the current state of the rules, (no res cap, or 450 max, or 410 max etc) it was way to strong vs anyone that actually stacks res. 450 is more or less the max res I'd expect people to be able to stack semi-easily.
4. New limits then are:
Max CR = 450 with no sorb, and
Max CR with 1x raven = 420 (interpolated this manually to match ~8.5 hits to kill), and
Max CR with 2x ravens = 325, resulting in less hits tanked for Barb/Ama only as 2x ravens makes getting the minimum CR to easy. Needs to be a downside to using 2x ravens IMO.

No.
People cant complain when Mr. Thundercock is teleing away 24/7 because he has to hit you 9x for you to die.
everyone who lost to a cold sorc with massive stack is simply bad...
Especially when youre factoring in builds, Chad wasnt using the standard build you mentioned because he was acclimating his char to be well rounded to duel everything in the tournament, this guy had a hoto lol.
people who lost to him are simply skill gapped, not because the rules played in his favor.
