Top lane Anivia new meta?

What does the community think? Anivias ult lasts through displacement effects like nauts pull so she can now withstand certain CC and keep ulti up. dorans ring > pots > tear > catalyst > wand/roa > zzrot portal as core items. next item would ideally be seraphs completion but appropriate tank items can be subbed. I have played many many games as top lane anivia and have lost very few. I know her ulti is probably being nerfed but all together it is really something. especially with her passive.

With how strong she is right now why not? I've been considering it too.

I think tear/roa is inferior to morellos/roa tho. At least AP mid lane. Maybe tanky walls MIGHT change that but the mana from lost chapter is pretty big too.

I think seraphs is pretty good because of the shield active + it synergizes well with frozen heart and rod of ages.

I didnt get top in that game but i built tanky anyway. Anivias primary role is to be a defensive control mage. I peeled for my adc in every team fight and absorbed a bunch of damage that she would have taken and lived most of the time. i still did a good amount of damage. cleared waves. she does these things so well. i love it

With her low movement speed and with zero mobility in a long lane, it sounds like a recipe for disaster.
