Anivia's Crystallize (Ice Wall) Quality of Life Buffs

Stacona·Nov 27, 2014·3 votes·465 views

Some Quality of Life buffs to Anivia's Ice Wall would be nice like making her wall actually knock-back enemies when it is first summoned just like Trundle's Pillar of Filth; also allowing her Ice Wall to grant assists when enemy champions are within a certain radius of her wall. Another utility buff would give a small radius slow field around the wall that chills units so that her Ice Wall even has synergy with Frostbite allowing Anivia to critically strike off of her wall for W-E comboes. On a side note: with mana sustain getting nerfed every season it could be worth considering lowering the mana costs on Glacial Storm (Anivia's ultimate).

Thanks for your time! ~ Stacona

Suggestion of mine:

Dashing through Anivia's Ice Wall chills her enemies and slows for a small amount (20% or so, for 1-1.5 seconds?). This adds decision-making for enemies, as well as making Anivia a little stronger against highly mobile pests specifically (while not touching her immobile matchups).

a slow field around an ice wall would do that same thing since most dash abilities wouldn't be able to escape the field fully even passing through the wall- the slow could persist for 1 or 2 seconds after leaving the field like her ultimate's slow

I'm opposed to any buff, QoL or otherwise, that makes it easier for Anivia to get an empowered E. It's bad enough once she hits 6, don't make it bad once she hits 3.

but that means if you take wall at 3 either your q or e will be weaker depending on the ability to rank 2nd first which makes things counter productive - i was think that the wall will help land q's even better with a slow field as well as redirecting the enemies' path and have wall synergy with frostbite so her entire kit can synergize with each other instead of ice wall and frostbite being the odd man out of each other

do not forget ice wall is her longest cooldown at 25 seconds at all ranks

What I would like to see is giving Anivia an option to cancel the wall early.

Like you place the wall to cut off someones escape, they flash over it. Now you either let them get away or blow your own flash to catch them. Jarvan IV can do this with his ult, so why not Anivia? Also do the same for Trundle also.

I like the punishing factor of her ice wall it adds that difficulty factor to Anivia and requires a lot better strategic thinking when playing the bird-

J4 traps on all 4 sides and has a lot less control of where the arena ends up, anivia has full control of her ice wall
