My problem with Iceman is his blue, the most annoying skill ever! If you break the countdown, you will be punish and might end up with stunned characters, IF you don’t break it… you going to lose someone, is a lose-lose situation with no counter play. The game has evolve and I can think we can make this skill fair and still useful, it can work like this:
(Build a Snowman) Bobby stuns frozen solid an enemy, creates a 4-turn blue Countdown targeting an enemy than stun it at the end of each turn. While this tile is on the board, this power becomes Punch a Snowman(Punch a Snowman) Iceman deals 457 damage to enemy target by Build a Snowman. Destroys all of Iceman's Countdown

The counter play is to not let him gain that much blue AP if you're afraid of that ability. You can also use characters that steal AP, or you can just stun him or send him airborne. You have plenty options. I wonder though, where did you encounter him so much that you developed this fear or hate for him. I'm a 4* player and I barely see him in matches. We live in an 'era' in which people complain about Carol, Grocket, Gambit, Medusa, and others... Iceman is just fine as he is. He doesn't even see that much play, despite being one of the most rounded characters in game. Probably because most people don't like all-rounded that much, but rather best in something.

He hasn't been boosted for a while.You'll see a ton of him during his boost week, don't worry.He needs a lot of champ levels, but he's still very, very good.
Yeah, if Ice-Man gets 12 blue AP, it hurts. Guess what happens if RiRi gets 11 red, Cage gets 13 red, Hobofist gets 12 black or Yondu gets 10 blue.
Carol and Mockingbird with their countdowns hurt far more for less AP as well.
Ice-Man blue is a good skill, that's why you're not supposed to let him gather blue.
