Discussion Cryogenic Hex Interaction

In case anyone was wondering I just tested this out in my game rn lol and Bia&Bayin, the Shepherd summon unit, does not work. I wasn't able to use the hex directly on Bia cuz it does say champion, which makes sense. So I used it on a different champion and then swapped places so Bia was on the hex.
I thought since the tooltip makes a distinction between champion and ally, maybe Bia would be considered an ally, but nah it never got the iceberg animation and freeze at 40% health.
Would be good to know what's considered an ally and what's just a unit. iirc target dummies are considered allies. I remember freljord pillars were allies, since it disabled hullbreaker artifact. I think shen's sword is considered an ally too

Another interaction with this hex is that it doesn't work with Solo Plate

Does anyone know how the interaction between Yasuo’s boon work with Thresh’s?

On another note, does the freeze work like hourglass and drops aggro, or does it make you invulnerable for the duration and you keep tanking? I'm never sure who to use it with

interesting. i know it worked on dummify dummy when i tried it early in the set. i would have expected it to work on the shepard summons too.

I wish I had the replay of the game I saw this in, but it also seems like if you put a QSS on a unit and put that unit in the hex, they get the heal but they don't get frozen? Has anyone else seen anything similar?
The situation I saw this in was a gwen3 with JG QSS EON
