Hallo fellow Leagueplayers, iam wondering why Anivia, a Champion with a pickrate under 3%, is getting nerfed in such a hard Way. I mean why arent they focused on nerfing op Champs like Yasuo. Is this still Anivia? It feels like a different Champion right now. Kinda das to see. But what are your opinions about it? Greetings Arzelot
LostFr0st7 votesWith her unavoidable E-->R instachunk gone they can finally stop balancing her around it. Bad for short term, but good news for her overall future.
Shadòw3 votesand since when do we balance around Pickrate? ...
C9 Anivia God3 votesI played her right now. Ohhh man she isnt playable anymore.
LostFr0st4 votesI think "unplayable" is a big stretch. The power added from that W cdr is not to be underestimated.
Anìvìa2 votesShe is not unplayable, but don't overestimate the power of that 8 sec cd decrease on her wall. She got weaker and notable so. I do not think she will be competing at high ranks for much longer, but anything below gold ( or plat even) should be okay if you truly want to play her. It is still a hazzle to so so, however. Less rewarding for more difficult plays. I do not think that is right.
NodirjonSattarov1 votesdon't sweat it, kog maw was at a 2.7% pick rate right before he got nerfed. sure he was pretty powerful, but if you only see him 1 times in 50 games it really doesn't matter. the problem is that because anivia has such a low pick rate, there isn't much of a voice for her players. much like kog'maw it is hard to get dialogue with anyone because of how few people play kog'maw. good luck man
Anìvìa1 votesI am locking for dialogue with riot on the boards and reddit regarding anivia for a while now. If they wanted to talk to us, they could do so.
NodirjonSattarov1 votesThey deal with things in a triage based system. I think this is why champion updates take so long. For Kog'Maw the boards only has me, Renoback and a few randoms trying to get the developers to talk. I've had no results. It's so unrewarding
Qualtar1 votesi feel as if she is now going be able to get reworked but i dont see her as unplayable but now very very hard to play and get anything out of it.There are now a ton of mid laners who now burst just as well but faster without a setup to them.
Anìvìa1 votesI hate reworks. Even more so in case my main is targeted. Numbertweaks and minor changes are okay, but do not change entire sets... thats just wrong.
"There are now a ton of mid laners who now burst just as well but faster without a setup to them."
I agree and that is my biggest criticism to the whole argument why she had to be changed/nerfed.
Oglaf1 votesI just did a vs. AI game for my WIn of the Day bonus where I played alongside someone trying her out.
The way her Ultimate now starts out tiny and takes forever to "grow" made me sad just looking at it.
EndlessSorcerer3 votesI'm pretty sure they halved the time it took for her ultimate to grow this patch.
It used to be 3s but now takes 1.5s.
Anìvìa1 votesYou are right, but in return it deals less dmg in its first 3 seconds and the e will only get empowered after 1.5 seconds. Thats the real deal.
GayFluffyUnicorn1 votesTakes forever when it now only takes 1,5 secs instead of 3,5.
Riantix1 votesHer teamfighting got buffed, but it's early game that the anivia mains (including me) are unhappy about She's just a farm bot after the recent nerfs
Anìvìa1 votesI do not see how her teamfighting got buffed with lower ult dmg in the first 3 seconds and a less reliable e use. Her wall timer sure was reduced, but walls only do so much in a fight with mobility involved.
