Oh Frost, time was not kind to you! What was once a staple frame for nearly all defensive missions has had it's job stolen first by Limbo and then by Gara (poor Limbo actually aged even WORSE than Frost somehow thanks to Eximus rework).
His 1st and 2nd abilities might as well not exist without their respective augments, Snow Globe is just a worse Mass Vitrify in 90% of cases and Avalance is a poor man's CC with armor strip crippled by mediocre range and janky hit detection, yet it's still his best ability.
To make him more relevant they really need to change Snow Globe to behave exactly as Mass Vitrify does, let ally fire pass through from BOTH sides, otherwise it's just a hindrance more often than a benefit. 4 could use extra 5m of range baseline and make it hit enemies above and below him, not just on the exact vertical plane Frost happens to be.
His 1 needs a complete scrapping, a single target CC with travel time makes no sense in current Warframe.
2 could have potential if it's augment was baked-in, it's already required to make this ability do anything. In addition maybe make it continually apply frost procs as enemies move through the lingering zone and limit the max number of zones to 3-4 max to not make it too OP. CC is Warframe is weak enough as it is so giving Frost a better version of Hallowed Ground would probably be fine.
I do think if I could change the scaling, I'd give Avalanche a full strip at 200% strength.
My biggest wish other than more scaling on his 2,3, and 4 is a rework/replace on his 1 and passive. I'm with you in the fact they just don't really do anything.
Forgot about his orbs only working with ally fire in one direction, I've been defeated by friendly Globes more than I'd like to admit.
Overall I think all your points would be worth it. Like all frames of course you can make him work/he is good enough but I would like to see him more comfortable to play
His Avalanche only actually needs 167% power strength to reach 100% armor strip, the thing that limits it is it's mediocre 15m base range which kinda forces you to run Overextended and thus have to add another 60% strength to compensate.
And I agree, he is perfectly playable, his play style just really only works against Grineer/Corrputed or lower level other factions and it boils down to casting 4 over and over, his only good ability. He is still in a much better spot than the likes of Hydroid, Limbo or Inaros.
