Why is everyone surprised that mages like anivia are really strong right now?

boards -> nerf all assasins! GUT FIZZ! GUT ZED! GUT YASUO!

Riot: ok

Boards -> OMG ANIVIA SO OP, NERF BRAND. GG

And then riot nerfs burst mages.

Then we wait for the next thing to complain about.

Anivia has problems with people that outrange her, not with any assasins - the egg is OP.

The only issue I have with Anivia is in One for all 5 Anivia s are fucking ridiculous. Once the first stun hits your dead, and if that misses there's four more to get you.

one for all is diffrent. Some champs are broken and some champs just flat out suck, its not balanced and was never meant to be :p

Anivia has always been oppresive dude, problem was people was having trouble to land her Q since mobility was everywhere. Then they changed her ult and straight buffed her chill mechanic, now she doesn't need her Q anymore

her RE/ER combo was stronger before the rework, cause her ult started out bigger.

What chill mechanic buff are you refering too?

RogueWill1 votes

Not quite my friend, the ult started bigger but the cast range was smaller so anivia would have to close in to actually land an E with Chill, the updated the range by 50 points to make it coincide with her AA and E range, it might not see like much but since half of anivia damage comes from her chill mechanic it basically means she can pull her combo from longer in case she misses her Q.

Also Chill during her ult was buffed, the E applies a normal Chill, but the ult applies a modified chill that increases the slow by up to an extra 20%, so if you are caught you either dash or your die since the slow is pretty much at Nasus Withered state at that point

the 50 range increase was to compensate for the ult starting out 50 range lower.. so its still the same.

and I dont think the slow on anivias full blown ult is a problem. I think anivia should get rewarded for trapping players in a full sized ult/ players should get punished for walking into a full sized ult.

I didn't said it was a problem, I said Anivia had always been oppressive but the mobility limited her landing her Q, with the new changes on the mini-rework she doesn't have to land them anymore.

because all she has to press is r+q and she chunks you for a whole lot.if yu do try to get in her face she stuns you, ifb you do manage to kill her, she eggs xD

Your argument is overly simplified.

Anivia is a immobile mage, she has to walk up to you or find you in a choke point and use her high cd wall to get to you.

yeah she eggs, but ive noticed 90% of the time im in a position to take down the egg.

p.s I think you mean r+e not r+q

But when the only counterplay to a zed ult is a fizz playful, there's kind of a problem...

Not saying they didn't keep mages in their place, they just also kept eachother in place.

Zed has problems, but his ult is the least part of his problem. Not only are there many abililities in the game that can negate it, theres also item 3157

I'm not? I said 6 months ago "Anivia will be op as balls in about 5 or 6 months with the way the meta is shaping up". It was pretty obvious she was in a good spot and that this spot would improve.
