Does Riot ever plan on reworking Anivia?

I main Anivia, I like her kit and everything about her, but if Riot keeps reworking champions and stuff... I need to mentally prepare myself if they plan to rework Anivia.

I mean... Maybe a rework would be good, I don't know.

Don't think so. RioT's main concern has been it's stun + crit combo (which was tinkered with more than once and it's currently a reworked version, even tho i never noticed a big difference by simply facing her), but apart from that i don't think her identity has ever been questioned as a whole.

I would like a little speed buff on her q though...

Its rather slow :/

I think it's balanced like TF's Q. In lane, when you focus on your opponent and expect it, it's rather easy to avoid. Later, when roaming and teamfights begin to be a factor and things get messy, it's way more easy to catch people off guard and punish them for that.

That is true, but since about half the mid laners have dashes or teleports laning can be brutal if you don't predict.

Meh, you just have to place the ultimate. They either go through it or around it. If they go around it, you can Q and W them for a easy hit. If they decide to go through the ultimate, even better.

The only champions I have issues with are those that our range or out burst me like Xerath or Veigar.

Zed is a problem if you are being camped or be pushed early without being punished by your jungler.

Other than those few champion, Anivia is in a really good spot. Sadly, her biggest problem is champions who can also rush banshe while still doing a lot of early game DMg

Her ult and wall are good yeah, but the problem is when they don't try to run away... Instead they run at you. Sure you can just stun them, but that only works half the time. The other half is when they stun you before you can stun them, or the jungler comes and gets you.

I mean I'm not complaning, because Anivia has lots of outplay potential. She has weaknesses and strengths. I don't know... I love Anivia, but sometimes I feel she has too many disadvantages.

She is perfectly fine

I just picked her up and destroying ranked. She is very unique with clear weakness and strength.

Yeah, you just never know.

Riot does lots of weird things...

She won't be getting reworked for a while because the champions who get reworked are champions who are doing really poorly or just un-healthy and hard to balance because of it (Or when they do a class update, but Mage update already happened). Though she'll probably see balance changes here and there but I doubt she'll get any big changes. Her kit could be annoying to fight at times but she really isn't an un healthy champion.

Personally, I never considered her un-healthy throughout the like 5 or so years of playing League. Yes I am an Anivia main so you might say I'm just "biased" or something but this is also coming from fighting her as well. She really is easy to fight in lane, and even when she used to be able to R>E you, I never considered that even un-fair and I would generally always win lane against her (unless I had a terrible match up etc). Now that she has to actually use her wall in her combo to have a better chance to get your empowered E off which delays her combo by 1.5 seconds at least people shouldn't have many complaints about her. Though I know that people will always find ways to complain about a champion, but that is just how the forums are lol.

I'd say don't worry about her getting reworked at least. The only real concern you could have would be any random nerfs that might come out, though personally I feel she is in a good state right now.

Well good, I enjoy playing Anivia and would hate to see her changed. I do miss her old R+E combo, was fun to one shot adcs lmao. But after that got nerfed I leaned to use her wall correctly. I do hope she gets a few buff though... I play Fizz more than ANivia and everyone hates fizz right now. I don't build tank fizz either, I build ap. So I'm kinda bummed out some jerks made one of my mains get one of the highest ban rates :/
