Would be a nice return back from the old R2D, this time I want it too be added to tweak a few things.

So while playing as an Elemental, you will be able to change forms using a certain key which makes the elemental play the explosion animation meaning that it would have to stay still to change forms. The elemental would look basicly the same except with a dark blue colour over instead.

Now while in "Ice Mode" what heals you and what damages you will be reversed, the Extinguisher now either doesn't affect you or heals you (depends on whether the flamethrower will heal elementals) and the flamethrower and moltovs will damage you and kill you as fast as a Extinguisher would.

Not only that but the playstyle would be changed up a bit, instead of annoying fire damage you now shoot ice shards that could stick onto the player (depends if place would be up to it) which do less damage than fire, but would make the player turn a slightly blueish colour making them move slower and do animations much slower.

The F would still regain all the elementals health, but it will explode into a large ice shard which will fling and freeze the enemy without doing any damage. People who have been frozen can be thawed out over time and also will be thawed out with a moltov or a flamethrower. However, here the trick. While frozen you will be thawed by taking any sort of damage, however that damage does around x2 to x3 (depends on whether op or not) more damage meaning that an ice elemental and a brute can work together to wipe minigunners out, if cleverly played.

However, the downside of the ice elemental is that the flamethrower would be incredble effective against it. It would still take the same amount of damage from normal bullets and would still have the same amount of health and stamina.

Touching player with the ice elemental will freeze them in place, however much shorter than using ice shard attack and is much less threatening when in large groups, meaning that bunny hopping with the ice elemental will won't do an awful lot.

This would be interesting if it came out around the christmas update and it would be a nice balance between the flamethrower and the fire extinguisher.

P.S - Sorry if anyone had already suggested this idea, I haven't checked.
