Wintermode Xmas Chaos

Hello, since the days are shorter and the nights longer, it is
cold outside and warm next to the fireplace I'd like to suggest
a Winter Mode for Zerg Hex. It could be next to Normal and
Prepicked as "Xmas Chaos"
This mode basically is the same good old Hex with some themed
additions I want to point out later.
I also would like if this mode is a "Premium Mode" so only
buyers can host lobbies with that mode but everybody can join
similar to Heroic Commanders in Direct Strike. That way the
enganged fans like us are able to feed wmaster an xmas present
for all his efforts. That obviously requires Wmaster to contact
blizzard. Maybe create openpetition if they want some kind of
proof that Hex is worth it.
Map:
Of course the map doesnt change, but winter additions would be
needed like snow, snowdrop, candy bars, fir-trees and whatnot.
Maybe make the lakes frozen.
Gameplay Extensions:
It adds an Heroic Unit for every player. They are unvulnarable
and serve only one purpose - throwing snowballs. To do so player
needs to micro this unit to randomly generated lookboxes that
spawn all over the map. Picking up these boxes grant the player
5 Minerals, 5 Gas (10 Minerals for Zerg) and charges the Heroes
Ability to throw the snowball.
Units hit by a snowball get "chilled" which drasticly reduces
their movespeed. If they are already chilled they freeze instead
which is a rooteffect that reduces movespeed to zero. (softroot
for sake of not having 1264254 behaviours :D) If a chilled or
frozen unit gets attacked it loses one level of crowd control
like frozen units get chilled.
The hero units do not interact in any other way with the normal
game. you cant hit them, you cant move them into undiscovered
area or whatever to prevent abuse.
Both sides Terran and Zerg will have a drasticly easier time
defending with snowballs, but it also requires map awareness and
micro to get those charges. Make sure they spawn in a healthy
distance to owned object to prevent players from getting them
effortlessly.
This mode should be only selectable while Winter.
I am open for any critics and ideas but note that this is meant
to be a FUNMODE and a way to grow games popularity by having it
premium.

fun idea, reminds me of gta5, they change the cosmetics every
year on christmas. not sure about it affecting gameplay, but as
a cosmetic option i definitely think it is fun.
