...Also, snowballs in strikes need to just be permanent. This is clearly the way Destiny was meant to be played.

The snowballs have been very effective at adding an extra layer of enjoyment to strikes and events. I find it amusing when while taking heavy enemy fire from a boss and a horde of adds, you see a bunch of guardians go out of their way (and continue taking fire/damage) just to make a dash for the nearest snowball pile! :)

good times

To be fair, often they're doing it because the reward justifies the risk.

Throw a snowball at a Hydra, his shield stops spinning; you can kill him much more easily. Throw a snowball at a Centurion, he won't take off. Throw a snowball at the guy with the slowing rockets at the top of the stairs at the start of Tree of Possibilities, he stops firing (I can't tell you how many rando teammates I've seen die to that guy because they 1) don't throw a snowball at him, and 2) don't treat him as a real threat).

Snowballs are like moveable Saint-14 bubbles; they blind enemies that get hit, and make them MUCH easier to kill. It's totally worth going out of your way to find some when you're under heavy fire. :)
