This is slightly late, but....
Well, I don't know about Snover. His BL nom stems from the fact that he provides the hail that supports the entire team. Froslass is definitely broken in the Hail.
Walrein was almost nominated under the defensive characteristic in the first test. But it was concluded that the actual culprit was Abomasnow who provided the necessary support for Walrein to be a complete dick. I think that it's the same in this case. Snover is making Froslass "obviously" BL, regardless of whether it is broken outside hail or not. Snover is making Walrein a dick to face(it also got Super Fang in HGSS)... so, assuming that Froslass isn't broken outside of hail, it certainly seems that Snover is the culprit here.
@Heysup - I'm not attacking your arguments, but there is one flaw to them - you are assuming that Froslass is BL outside hail, which may not be true.
The only reason Hail was neglected all this time is that most people think that "Snover is shit". It isn't. I faced Hail Stall during the last meta(the most stable one IMO, apart from Yanmega being there) and it was a bitch to face.
The support characteristic includes stalling.d2m said:Also, the only thing that Hail does is improve his teammates' ability to STALL not Sweep. The only sweep arguments you have are Glaceon and Froslass and both can be easily tanked by Milotic or any other bulky Ice-resist (Modest specs Froslass is doing (24.37% - 28.93%) with Blizzard). Stallrein and Snow Cloak Froslass are the only 2 very noticeable benefits and neither of those is going to "sweep with little effort" although their survivability spikes way up.
