A word about Anivia

superpub··4 votes·688 views

Guys i understand that Anivia harass with the r/e combo was a bit overpowering in lane but the 1.5 seconds is too much Anivia has now got no lane phase whatsoever any champ with mobility already countered her but we Anivia mains had a small hope in the quick poke that we could do now pretty much any champ can get out of her ult in 1.5 seconds not to mention champs with high mobility which makes it even harder for her to keep them in the ult for that long. This nurf was WAYYYYY too harsh although a nurf may have been in order i have many problems with the new anivia. Plus there are so many other champs that are overpowered in the mid lane right now. Also how can riot complain about a r/e combo from anivia when annie can do just as much damage with q/w way too harsh of a nurf to anivia when there are so many other op champs in the mid lane that need more balancing then her. Im hoping that riot realize that these nurfs were way too over the top and do something to fix it instead of making a balance change that murders a champ and then forget about them for a couple years.

She'll just get bullied even harder once they realize at 6 she has no burst at all meanwhile all other mages will just kill you in one rotation easy.

When I first saw the nurf I agreed with you but after thinking about it I realized riot is just forcing you to land your skill shots. Basically they're making her a late game control mage only. The ability to literally 75% a squishy enemy at level two is a huge advantage and I think we who play Anivia should have to work harder to get it. Also Anivia's alt does just about as much damage as she use to though the ap ratio has been halved. (Something I disagree with). Another thing, Anivia's stun lasts for 1.5 seconds, her alt takes 1.5 seconds to charge. Her massive burst seems to me to still be there, it's just harder to pull off.

"When I first saw the nurf I agreed with you but after thinking about it I realized riot is just forcing you to land your skill shots."

You mean like it was pre level 6 all the time now. Q is her only true skillshot and that was already a must hit against most targets to actualy have a chance to kill them. Now it became even more important.

"The ability to literally 75% a squishy enemy at level two is a huge advantage and I think we who play Anivia should have to work harder to get it."

We already do, by hitting our q. It's not like this was a freehit. I also doubt the 75% dmg, but whatever. Leblanc after the rework did do this dmg to me once. But with my build I expect this dmg to happen. I am not building glass canon because I want to tank a lot.

"Another thing, Anivia's stun lasts for 1.5 seconds, her alt takes 1.5 seconds to charge. Her massive burst seems to me to still be there, it's just harder to pull off."

If you hit your q, your ult is obsolete, as you already have the effect of doubled e dmg. You could literaly take out the ult in this equationand it would hardly change the result. But this is still relying on the stun by q. That skill is already hard to hit.
