The main problem with the S'no matter plus RPL is that you can only really kill with the RPL, you have ten percent lower speed (you can use Double hug to remedy this, but having +10% extra speed is always preferable to 0% extra) and the S'no Matter only has two shots, making it less efficent in direct combat, as the majority of the freeze would be taken up by it or the RPL reloading. Also, the S'no Matter freezes teammates, which usually ends with their death.
