Anivia/RNG Dragon
Alright so let me start off by saying, this patch so far has ruined the game for me. I have been playing since December of 2012 and the first champion I ever picked up was Anivia. It was love at first sight, everything about her I loved, her insane burst, the fact that a good wall that can turn the tide of a game and the ult to just ruin the enemy team in a fight--I could go on all day--, so I decided to do none other then main this amazing Articuno wannabe. Fast forward four long lifeless years of playing this game while nearly only playing anivia in ranked and I knew a nurf was inevitable due to her insane burst and control mage qualities all on top of great zoning/clearing... then I looked in despair as I read what they were doing to Anivia in the "Midseason Mage Updates." They made her ult start at a very minimal radius and grow in size after three seconds, now three seconds may not seem like a long time but in the middle of an intense team fight it is very very long. I was so heartbroken at what I had been reading and thought that okay maybe it isn't as bad as it sounds. I thought that until I played her for the first time after the change and realized that it was worse than I had thought it would be. Some people that do not play this champion may be wondering like "this isn't a big deal it even does more damage and slows at max size now so who cares," well yes it is super nice if it gets to full size, but that is if it does get to full size. There are so many stuns and channel cancelations that it is very hard for it to ever get to full size and with it taking three whole seconds to grow it is so easy for the enemy team to just walk out of it. There are so many more things I could say about what makes this new ult so bad but I don't want to make this article too insanely long. I know I am only one person saying this and that it probably wont make any difference but please Riot, I know that Anivia needed a nurf, but you completely gutted her here. I hope that other Anivia players can agree with me here and that maybe something will change.
Also just another little complaint is the RNG dragon,in my opinion no major part of this game, especially dragon, should be based off of RNG. There is way too much that goes into mastering this game and being flawless at it to have to make plays based off of hopes of what dragon will be next instead of knowing for sure that the next dragon you get will no matter what make you faster or no matter what make you do more damage. I really just don't understand what Riot was thinking here and hope that this will be changed as well.
Thanks to anyone who actually took time out of their life to read my thoughts on all of this and I hope that you all have a fantastic life.
TL/DR: Anivia's new ult completely gutted the champion and the new RNG Dragon is a horrible idea. I think a change needs to happen.
