I recently (yes again) found that the attack speed of an X-1-X ice monkey's attack speed varies as the number of bloons nearby changes. The more the bloons are, the faster it attacks. Is it always the case or is it a new feature?

I just did a test and found that the ice monkey that can't re-freeze (e.g. no re-freeze , no super brittle, no MIB) will not target frozen bloons.
Maybe that's why it seems to be "faster" with certain numbers of bloons. 0-0-0 Ice Monkey attacks every 2.4s, while adding Enhanced Freeze increases the rate to per 1.8s
Yes the way this works is that Ice without Re-freeze will not target frozen bloons, so if there are frozen bloons it just won't attack. Enhanced Freeze makes the freeze last longer than the attack speed so to see it at its full attack speed you either need Re-freeze, MIB (because it gives normal damage type) or more bloons than it can freeze with one attack.

Yep, that is exactly what I am thinking.
