Ice Blast slows hard enough to hold a target inside a full Absolute Zero channel, and at that point the ultimate is the single largest number in the game mode.

In choke points and around objectives, where a channel started from fog cannot be walked out of. Blood Boil still hard-buffs your carry regardless of build.
Anywhere the channel gets interrupted, which is anywhere with a stun. A cancelled Absolute Zero is three seconds of standing still for nothing.
2,684 damage is excluded from the rank because the target can walk away from it before it lands. Absolute Zero pays out at the end of a three-second channel and the target can walk out of it, so its damage is shown but not counted in the rank. Not modelled in this number: Summoner's Insight, Meditation, Mastermind.
