Can we get a rework for Anivia please?

I've main'd Anivia since release and I feel I need to get this point across. Anivia pre-rework was already a difficult champion to play but I loved playing her for the risk vs. reward mentality, however, after the rework she's been nothing but an underwhelming champion where she's either slightly useful, scales off fully late game, someone you just toss in when you have egg to get face punched by enemy skills to aid the team, and overall been useless.

Few days following the rework she was playable in the support lane for a little bit, due to her ultimate did less damage she had the stun and poke potential and was able to sustain thanks to items, however now all the mid lane mages like brand, lux, zyra(was already big in support) and the non-meta gameplays of no adc's now has pushed her away from that role and then with the further nerfs she has received took her out of that role, she can't jungle, she can't top, she can't mid, and of course she can't duo bot. League has changed overall as a whole and I feel that some champions need remodeling to be brought into this new league game. You have many champions with both engages and disengages that impact and change the gameplay on a whole and anivia is countered by pretty much every champion in the game now whether they're fed or not and you have to hope and pray that the enemy is either caught out or makes a huge mistake, in which your laning % drops drastically because that mixed with her damage reduction, damage spike delay and build order work around due to she has to spend even more mana now to just do something hurts her badly, and the fact that ALL of her damage is from one skill the others are just buffers and if you miss one you're pretty much done.

Riot usually only reworks or touches champions that have high play rate / makes the game look interesting and then leave the other champions alone for long periods of times fizzling them out into the background while they try to build up on champions that makes the pro-scene interesting which I get they need to get people to play the game and how else to do that besides making their game look interesting by hyping up hyper-carry styled characters.

Please someone at Riot see this and explain to me if she's even still being considered a champion because it's just going down hill for some champions, I can't speak about the other champions that aren't played often.

I know they'res a Kayle and Morgana rework coming but sometimes I'm in fear for reworks because they sometimes make champions look better but play mechanically worst and I'm not speaking by which a person is already contempt with a play style and they're not used to the new play style, I'm talking the champion in itself is worst off than how they were before, they just look visually better.

No, she will not be reworked any soon and she's far from weak.

Anivia is odd in that she utterly dominates half the champions in League but is weak sauce against the rest. Incredibly polarizing champion to play against. I think she’s actually good as she is, might need some nerfs to her crowd control though.

Anivia is not weak and already very boring/unfun to play against. Literally the Janna of midlane I sure do love that interactive post 6 waveclear!

In what universe is Anivia weak or underwhelming right now? She still has amazing teamfight control, safe laning, and the best anti-siege next to Viktor. Statistically, she's performing in mid-high tier, which while not the best of the best, is still quite respectable. Diamond Anivia mains are consistently pulling strong performances and winrates from her.

Anivia is still a great champion and you're doing something wrong if you think otherwise.

Anivia 's kit is one of the more solid kits in LoL. The rework she received in the Mage class update was meant to make her more complex. Even if it kinda delivers on that, I do agree with you that she was already difficult to play. It reduced her poke and early damage and I hated it.. But still, I got used to it and had to change my play style in order to have success.

She is still relevant!

Her kit itself shouldn't be touched imo. She is fine balance-wise. If she gets reworked, It should focused on her visuals, art, VO, lore and skins. (like the recent Ezreal update)

(Hextech Anivia could be so much more..)
