Riot you're so retarded about the Anivia nerf

First, low elo noobs whining about getting stomped by anivia players and thinking meta champs are balanced go away, i don't talk to trashes.

Am I the only Anivia main feeling my champ is now quite weak after the last nerf ? I don't even think the E+R combo was that much of a problem. The videos showing anivia one shotting adc aren't anything exceptionnal, the anivia were always like 10/0 and adc with 30 MR, any fed mage can one shot like that.

The problem with this nerf is the compensation. Now you need to hit Q or you 100% lose the fight, and believe me it's not easy to hit skilled players with Q. Sure you can still wall+R if you miss your Q (if you don't used them before), but weak slow at start and weak dmg too. All Riot did to compensate for that is a reduced wall CD and E. Wall cooldont don't change dramatically the gameplay, while the E cd is cool but since most of time it deals 2 times less dmg than before, it's quite useless. Throw as much E as u can on the average top/jungle/support, it's almost useless dmg since everyone has access to a lot of magic resist items.

I don't understand why Riot trashed Anivia that hard. What about Syndra's retarded R ? Cassio retarded spell spamming ? Yasuo insane dmg+ dashes + blocking every spell ? (the most cancer champ imo), Viktor's nearly undodgeable poke ? Most meta champs are unskilled, why you want to make Anivia EVEN MORE SKILLED to the point you need to play like a fucking challenger in plat to outplay the enemy playing with his dick and still winning every trade??

R reaches full power twice as fast, too. it's a lot easier to hit people stuck in it, hard to escape in 1.5seconds in a busy teamfight, esp with her wall

i think they'll probably buff her later; when they do stuff like this it usually means they're removing dumb strengths and adding more stuff in. look at Veigar lost instant stun, has been getting huge buffs for years.

probably not good enough for you because you main her and you want her to be good now instead of later, which is fair. im js though, they always buff this stuff later on

forcing anivia players to use their W (that had a shit ton of cd buff) to make people staying in R to get the maximum damage of E

i don't think it's a retarded change, i think it prevented a retarded gameplay that led to no counterplay.

so you complain that you now actually have to hit something to do Damage?

The Anivia nerf was a start towards putting her in a spot where she could receive buffs/QoL changes. The E-->R combo was holding her back due to its potential damage. The buffs to Liandry's next patch go well with her Ult changes but that more than likely won't be the end of Anivia tweaks.

The "tap R while E is in mid-air" thing was a retard proof combo. All you needed to do was be in range of her E to pull it off. Now her damage output requires a little more skill.

Also you forgot one of the bigger buffs which was her ult taking half the time to ramp up to max size/damage, 1.5 seconds from 3.
