Since I've seen a lot of discussion on ice, I've decided to input an answer myself.
I don't want this to sound too harsh, but people should learn to adapt to the game now that ice is an available block (and possibly game-changing).
Before the introduction of ice into the game, everything used to be set at the same pace (at least in my perspective). Since the only movement option is walking at the same speed, there really wasn't anything you could do to bolster your speed back then. If there was running in the game, I would have a completely different view on this issue. Unfortunately, that isn't the case.
We've had the same ways of killing: tnt, mining, tagging. Now introduce ice. More strategies are developed on how to counter it, how to use it effectively, etc. I get that some of you play ctf for the "nostalgia" feel when ice wasn't a thing, but now there's a new game changing block. Instead of consantly refuting and rejecting ice, use it to your advantage. You may turn out to enjoy using it. I was reluctant on the fact on using it ever since it was shoved into the inventory, but when I saw how people like BkayB utilized his ice, I decided that ice was the way to go. If you're choosing not to use something that is right in front of you, and see it as a crutch or limitation, that's your problem. If you can't beat them, join them.
I don't know about you, but I'm not a fan of games that tend to last a hour or more.
Remember: this is supposed to be a friendly discussion. Don't devolve to name-calling or pure insults.
EDIT: if there's anyone who doesn't support ice and would like to make a detailed post on why they don't, that would be good. "Being annoying" isn't a valid reason.
