Oh god, controversial opinion time!

Nah... they're healthy, yes. And I like the idea... but I dont like the 'compensation'.

I can't even point a finger on it... but anivia feels so one dimensional right now... Her laning usually changed completely after hitting 6, that's different now. I never was an Anivia main - but I always liked picking her up - right now, I fail to see a reason to pick her over someone else. (Additionally I hate her Power-Curve - super strong early, gutted by the mana build - huge powerspike when getting her Core, but being quite bad in mid-game and than slowly getting stronger as the game continues... argh!!!)

She just doesn't fullfill my fantasy of a Ice-Zone-Mage - sad me... but W/E x'D As long as she's able to win games and people have fun with her, she's fine I guess.

Call me if she gets a bigger VGU. ^^

They changes would have been good, if the compensation would have been as well. I can accept that old e r was unhealthy, but right now there is so much counterplay to anivia that playing her is rather unrewarding for how much she has to input to get it done. Look at any other mage. All of them either have the ability to spam on higher range, or have the savety to burst when they get in range.

She needed them. Instant full size ults and chunking half a squishies hp by tappng R-E was stupid.

berates you and verbally abuses you

Are you referring to the whole chilled thing and the ultimate size thingy?

+1 I actually think the changes were really good.

She's hard as heck to play now, but that's not a bad thing.

What changes are you talking about, is there something new on the pbe?
