Can we give Anivia and Zac the Aatrox treatment?

By that I mean put a CD on their passives that reduces by levels.

Anivia could use some small buffs to stay on-par with the meta mid-laners, because she is outclassed by them.

Zac does almost same thing that Aatrox does. He goes in with his E, tanks stuff and if his passive is up he will either force focus on him or he will revive to tank more stuff.

However, in the late game, they probably need their revive abilities more than at any point of the game because of how easily Anivia can get focused and caught because of her immobility (325 speed) or how often Zac will dive into their team.

That's all I ask from you, Rito.

Lol...Anivia is not even close to being weak. Don't know where you got that impression from but she wins like 90 percent of all mid lane matchups and makes sieging against her team impossible.

Yep, people have this idiotic idea that because Anivia is immobile she's bad.

She's not. The reason the cooldown on her passive is longer than Aatrox's is because it's more powerful.

I'm not saying she is bad, I mentioned that she gets outclassed by other mid laners (like Viktor)

I enjoy playing Anivia myself. A lot.

She doesn't get outclassed by Viktor in Solo Q.

Assuming Riot thinks both their passives are pretty well balanced, I would rather see a declining cooldown with a higher base cooldown than a fixed one all game. So, if it's 10 seconds now, I'm fine with them raising that to 12 early and by endgame it's 8. (Obviously not accurate numbers, but to illustrate what I mean)

Don't you know that you just never touch Anivia with any changes.

Anivia win rate 52.46%

Definitely outclassed by other mid laners, though.

Leave the bird alone. She's already very powerful, her passive is situationally amazing and has a deservedly long cooldown.

The only thing Anivia needs is a voice that doesn't sound bored and a default skin that actually looks as cool as her splash art.

Neither of theme need buffs. Aatrox honestly did not need them either, but he is more feast or famine than they are so it helps him if he's behind. Anivia and Zac are useful regardless of how poorly they have done.

I think this is a bad idea because unlike Aatrox their gameplay identity/role doesn't revolve around them reviving. They got different good things going for them.

IDK about Zac but Anivia would be soo strong without other changes (currently her egg late game makes her tankier, and that'd probably have to go if it was always up)
