Anivia's Q either not working right or the indicator is THAT bad.

I'm tempted to shout this from the rooftops in every forum but I'm going to take a deep breath and just say everything right here.

First of all, the actual bug---I was standing pretty much right next to people and could not cast my Q. It seemed to stop working more when running/flying around. I would like to say I've played Anivia in hundreds of games. She was my first main (and is my only main). Everything I do with her is 'automatic' in my brain so I cannot beyond that tell you exactly what is wrong with it or if it's just that atrocious indicator messing me up but I also found myself facechecking an entire team half a dozen times in one game because I would go to poke with a Q and run and I would just keep running. I may try to do some custom games to find the exact problems after I calm down a bit.

I am highly upset with the new indicator. I know this is not a feedback forum specifically but it makes visibility impossible. It is EXTREMELY distracting, the stun range indicator is not even functional because if your cursor is right next to you and the ice ball passes it you can still explode it so it's MORE confusing for 'people new to Anivia' whom this was intended to cater to. As someone who has played her extensively I can tell you I have no idea how anyone new to her is going to get anything out of this and those accustomed to her I imagine hate this as much as I do. It's not just about getting used to it, it's a gaudy mess.

Please just return the original functionality.

I pray for representation on this matter from other Anivia fans because I know she's not as popular as some and I fear this will be buried.

Anivia main checking in. These changes were totally unnecessary, and in my opinion, they need to be reverted. There are so many other problems in this game that have higher priority than breaking Anivia for the sake of "making her easier to pick up for new people."

I absolutely hate the new casting on the spell. The circle they added, how it moves around depending on where your aiming is really counter intuitive to what the spell actually does. I think if they revert it back to the old casting system it'd be a fine change. I actually sort of like the circle particle effect around the ice ball, but maybe thats just me. The targetting system they added makes the spell feel terrible though, not much more to say.

Indeed it makes her arguably harder to pick up. Also, I just did a custom game to test the extent of this problem and the Q not functioning correctly is certainly a bug. I confirmed that it is caused by trying to cast it while moving which anyone in their right minds is always doing. I had to hit Q up to 3 and more times occasionally to make the skill cast.

Riot just ruined my main champ. I can't even play anivia anymore and i have more than 500 games with her. This is terrible.

So here is what i think the problem is: the new stun indicator allows it to go beyond the maximum range of Q. If you fire Q outside the maximum range, this causes anivia to walk forward until she reaches the possible range. If you click within this period, it cancels the Q. This is so frustrating and makes Q even harder to land because i can no longer tell the exact maximum range. This can't be what was intended! This forces me to purposely short-range the stun idicator just so i can fire Q without walking forward (and potentially dying). I cant even play anivia any more!Anivia
