Ice clone nerf was the most unnecessary nerf in the history of gaming, it didn't accomplish anything other than nerfing Sub-zero for the sake of nerfing. There are many characters who can blow the clone and land a combo on sub-zero without resorting to meter-burned moves but for some unknown mystical reason Sub-zero got nerfed.
Grandmaster:
1. Clone disappears if Sub-zero blocks 2-hits (instead of 1)
OR
Remove the cooldown on ice-clone
2. Enhanced ice ball freezes opponent even if opponent has already been frozen once by ice-ball/Ice-clone in a single combo.
3. Add Enhanced clone toss.
4. Enhanced clone toss has armor and freezes opponent upon contact.
5. Enhanced clone shatter freezes opponent.
Cryomancer:
This variation is perfectly fine the way it is.
Unplayable:
Lets turn this variation into unbreakable by simple changes.
1. Normal ice aura reduces damage taken.
2. Ex ice aura reduces damage taken and heals sub zero, if sub zero gets hit healing stops.
3. Parry works against jump attacks.
Sub-zero's deception costume plz.
