Might be time to modernize Anivia's mechanics.

Her auto attack and move speed are both from a bygone era when mages were expected to be low mobility, and last hitting was supposed to be "challenging". Far as I am aware, she is the only champion left that has the super fun of trying to predict where a minions health will be many seconds in the future due to wind up on her aa, and the travel time of the projectile.

And no, I'm not asking for a rework, Riot is really bad at reworks, they inevitably end up being "nerfs" in the guise of a "rework" (Poor Veigar, deleted from the game). Also, fix some of her bugs while you are at it, like spell vamp not working on her pool. The pool not doing anything with Luden's echo(If the ticks from tibbers can charge it up, I think it's only reasonable that anivia's pool do the same). Her Q randomly disappearing if it goes through another "effect" like Lux's orb (this is my best guess what causes it. Might be something else, that's just a common denominator when I notice it)

Anivia is already very very strong. People just aren't used to her.

Veigar has a higher winrate now than he used to btw

Honestly Anivia is dangerous to buff because of how powerful she is. I think she is fine anyway.

Anivia is already overbearing in lane, i'd say she could use some toning down let alone buffs..

And the splash art. There's pretty much no background.

Do you guys realize how many DAYS it takes to become proficient with Anivia's AA's??? It's WONDERFUL!! Once you get it down, you learn how to lead your last hits and actually get CS that others might not be able to (you know, when you have to pick between 2 minions to CS, sometimes Anivia can get both with proper AA timing and minion health monitoring).

Anivia is quite possibly my favorite mid laner to date, and I love everything about her. She doesn't need more MS, nor does she need faster AA speed (the previous buff put her into a PERFECT spot, in my opinon).

Anivia's kit is fine, but I do believe her auto attacks and MS need some work. However, not too much of a buff because I don't want Rito Jim to gut this Gem of a champion :D

Time to add 200 ms when she casts Q.

Riot needs to laugh at something.... And that something is when she does a backflip to auto attack

people think anivia needs buffed.... lol

no

Yes finally, her AA is so terrible.

YOU BEEN WARNED3/31/2015, 6:30:07 PM1 votes

Give her a full rework, she's toxic as shit to immobile champions because her slows/walls are massive counters to immobility.

I'm talking Sion level.

They sped up her AA projectile speed last year; she would benefit from a Zilean-style AA animation change though.

no no no no no no no

Don't make her homogenized like everyone else ffs. Let her do her thing more. Don't buff her weaknesses, buff what's unique about her.
