Anivia is Cool... (Small changes that i'd like Riot to make to Anivia)
I don't think Anivia is a particularly weak champion (quite the contrary in the right hands), however she I do think she deserves some small buffs and a tiny visual rework. Firstly, I believe Anivia's q should cost a bit lower mana at early levels (maybe increase the mana cost as it levels) this ability is probably responsible for her early mana problems and poor laning (pre-6). It's an absolute necessity to land if you want to do anything significant pre-6.
Secondly, I think that Anivia's q's missile speed should be a bit higher. It's not that it's bad considering it's actual purpose and the reward for hitting it but it can be pretty much impossible to land against the right opponents.
Thridly (Is actually a word, I looked this up and multiple sources deem this accurate. It's the formal version of "thrid of all".), I think that she should get a buff to her base movespeed. While at first thought this doesn't seem like an issue considering how much peel she has (Terrain obstacle, 2 slows, a stun, an attack speed debuff ect.). When you land a max range q it can be almost impossible to reach them to e them before they get out of range (this can also be fixed by giving Anivia's E a bit more range.).
Lastly, I'd like to see Anivia's auto attack animation get a VFX update. To put it bluntly, it's absolutely terrible there's such a massive delay before the missile comes out that it can be a pain to cs and harass with. I'm not a perfect player (Far from it, like top lane to bottom lane without tp.) but it's so easy to cancel it early and effectively harass creating a trade.
Anyways Riot, show us some love for our favorite cryophoenix (hint hint:
) love the new splash art by the way :D (I feel like i'm not doing this whole spacing thing right, although I did fix a lot of inconsistencies and spelling error. I'm open to very open to constructive criticism and if you feel like pointing out specific problems with the writing please do so it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced)
