Anivia 6.9

Idrolas·May 8, 2016·6 votes·1,278 views

Hello everyone,

I played Anivia today for the first time since the latest patch (6.9) and I discovered that the changes are terrible. As an Anivia main I am very upset about this. Reading over the patch notes for the first time I thought that the changes would be alright-I was wrong. I think that the changes to her R are the worst. The r->e->q>e combo that I knew and loved is no longer possible. Riot has changed Anivia from being a burst mage into a zone control mage and this is very upsetting. I understand what Riot was trying to do but as someone who loved the champ the moment I first played her these changes are too much.

that's because they intended her to be a control mage after rework, hence the REWORK

No, OP is correct. It's a feel thing. She was still a control mage before the rework. Stuff you expect to happen as Anivia that was consistent before 6.9 is borderline impossible to do right now (like E-->R combo). An E you expect to 100% be frosted usually isn't by the time it reaches them, effectively halving her damage in lane and in fights.

It is incredibly hard to land the e->r combo now! It's good to mix in after you have been laning for a while and the other laner did not expect it. Now you have to land the q every time unless they are dumb enough to stand in the growing ult.

Yeah, it feels pretty bad. The changes do fix that.

That's ok that they want to make her embody more what they originally intended but this change has hurt her instead of help her. Her winrate has dropped since this patch and those of us who love the way the champ was before are hurt by these changes.

New changelist, https://www.reddit.com/r/AniviaMains/comments/4i1vi1/manwolfaxeboss_context_on_69_changes/d2vca2h not sure how much will go through. On pbe right now (with the ult changes) I checked and you can actually get E-->R combo off like before 6.9.

That's a good reddit post. I am glad that they are at least doing something in order to make her seem a little better. (AKA as she was before the rework)

LOL it shows a Stix pic rip. Yeah I'm glad they saw how big of a change it was for actual Anivia players. She does feel a TON better on Pbe right now, I can vouch.

Okay well I guess I just have to wait and see what happens then.

There's some stuff for her in 6.10. Mostly making the R less garbage.

Sigh, when I seen the title my mind went to the gutter like (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

But the rework is good only thing they need to do is increase anivia's E range by 50 and R range by 100 units

Aside from that it's a wonderful thing they did.

But the thing is she has been the same for so long now. Why change what was already perfect. It's not like she was ever broken like some new champs. She has had the same feel for a long time and now it is lost.
