What's it like to fight (a good) Anivia

I'm just curious, I main Anivia, and I have fought an enemy Anivia maybe like, 4 times, in the 3 years I've been playing? And I have NEVER had any of them be skilled at playing her. So I've never really had a taste of my own medicine. I was wondering for anyone out there who has fought a really good Anivia, what's it like? Does it feel cheap? Does it feel fair? Does it piss you off or are you like "holy shit this person is actually good at anivia"? Do you have any horror stories of an enemy Anivia?

When I play against a good Anivia, it just feels like so much fucking bullshit. "Durp de dur, I can push R and click on! You died! I win! Haha!"

Really wish Riot would just remove or heavily nerf targeted abilities. >.>

It is a farm fest/waveclear party rules are not to get hit by Q/not get in range of her e when frostbitten/her ult isnt deployed. Play a mage with constant damage; rsnge and some waveclear into her and it will be pretty easy. Ziggs Syndra Viktor Velkoz Azir

'Cheap' is exactly the word I'd use, she takes skill to play definitely but most of the time it doesn't feel like she takes skill to beat - most of the time you hope she screws up wall/stun.

I feel like in order to do well against her, you have to chose from a very small selection of niche mid champions with a lot of long range poke/farm. Like Ziggs or Lux. So that you can stay far away from her abilities. Anything else, just survive the lane. You really can't all in Anivia as something like Zed because of the egg passive. As soon as Zed ults, Anivia runs for the tower and Zed only succeeds in perhaps egging her under said tower. Frustrating to play with because it's hard to snowball. Whenever I see an Anivia I usually go TwistedFate and roam/farm(abuse my passive) like hell in order to get fed so that I can carry the game because I sure as hell ain't getting a kill on Anivia if she's any good.
