I never played Anivia. Ever. Not even in ARAM.
But I have seen Anivia in my team or the enemy's team. What's her purpose in the game? When I look at her stats, the difficulty and AP is super high. Does this mean she is a burst champion?
I just don't know, I would like someone to enlighten me about Anivia (preferably a main)
Veraska2 votesAnivia is a control mage, she creates turrain and zones of threat to manipulate and control the enemy while dealing a good amount of aoe damage.
One of her biggest strengths is her wave clear, it's really hard to siege against an anivia

im assuming her W and R are the zoning factors?
Fondling Gems1 votesQ as well as enemies have to avoid it. She has 3 abilities that force enemies to move and give enemies time to move (outside of W) Her E exists to heavily punish people who don't try and dodge her Q or stand in her ult, basically to give more incentive to avoid her zoning tools.

ohhhh very interesting, ty lol
Dolasaur1 votesHer big draw is manipulating enemy locations. Her Q is a REALLY slow skillshot that is going to make you take 1.8 AP scaling damage if it stuns you (from Q + E). Her wall limits where the enemy can go. From a more advanced perspective, you can actually directly manipulate the enemy's pathing depending on the location and angle of the wall. Her R is a lot more obvious with its flashing and high sustained damage.
Using Q, W, and R in combination to control the enemy's movement is something that's not necessarily unique to Anivia, but is definitely something she's capable of doing better than most of the cast.
Example situation: You're in mid lane, and the enemy wants to get to safety under tower. Some options you have (depending on your location and your enemy's location) include: -Throw your Q towards the small gap between tower and jungle, and put your R in the other one. Enemy has to get hit by at least one of them. -Throw your Q towards the center of the lane. When the enemy runs to the gap between tower and jungle to avoid Q, you put your W up behind him. His pathing makes him run around the tower and get hit by your Q. -Put your R down smack on top of the enemy. As he's about to get out of it, put the wall down behind him, forcing him to run all the way back out through it while slowed.
Her burst is nice, but it's not nearly as reliable as it was when you could do ER and have E do double damage just from the first tick of R during travel time. Even if you land both parts of Q into E, her burst (1.8 AP) isn't as high as other famous burst mages. For comparison: -Veigar - 2.35-3.1 AP (depending on target health) from QWR from similar range as Anivia -Lux's - 2.25 AP from QER (without any autos) that she can do from ~1000 range -Annie - 2.3 AP (without any Tibbers ticks or autos) -Vel'Koz's - 1.3 AP magic damage + 0.5 AP true damage on non-ult QWE (similar to Anivia) but ALSO has 1.75 AP true damage scaling on just his ult.
TekkenPlayer1 votesShe is a cheesy burst mage but not as cancer as other burst mages
The q hitbox has a size of a truck and is her main way to set combos. Since you can re-activate the q for a stun, it practically makes Anivia much better than her old form.
Also the flashes burnt because of walling the enemy is great
also at 6 she can just afk farm the wave and tilt thirsty midlaners with her passive
Automated Riven2 votesWhat??? She is far weaker then her prenerf state. And she has always been able to reactive q for a stun
Requiemsfire1 votesShe's a zone control mage, her role in the team is to neutralized areas through strategic placement of her ultimate and wall. She's one of the best siege champions and has really strong push potential.
