Buff Anivia Movespeed

TheGrot·May 26, 2019·2 votes·1,500 views

After all the nerfs that Anivia got hit with forever ago, can we at least give her a base MS buff? Ya know. Give her the ability to dodge skillshots? Play against glacial augment champions?

No? Immobile mages like Anivia, Orianna, Veigar etc. are supposed to have low MS? They compensate it with their cc, zone control and damage.

Veigar has a base movespeed of 340. Orianna has 325 but also has a low cooldown speed buff.

Kinda funny but Veiger has one of the highest MS between Mages

I had troubles with him since I found Veiger players becoming Feiger and dodging the charm After I checked , He has MS equal to a lot of assassins

Anivia cant have mobility of any kind that being movement speed as well. She has the highest amount of crowd control of any mage in the game. And she permanently pushes waves at 6. She cant have movement speed or she will become a r%%%%%edly strong roaming champion and would pressure the map infinitely after 6. Her gaining movement speed base would actually mean her kit would need to be significantly nerfed which i dont think you want. When a anivia is missing at 6 you dont get that super fear factor that you would if like taliyah was. This is why riot opts out of her not having movement speed since she legit pushes the wave faster then a sol and taliyah. NOW if you want to combat this weakness you can through runes and its something i do. People dont expect it. Take celerity and relentless hunter. This will give you a tiny bit of lane movement speed when you are just last hitting you wont always have the movement speed up for dodging skillshots but you will some of the times and then you also now get to have the crazy roam power that anivia shouldnt have. This is ok because she loses out on other runes to go this route.

It's not mobility my man. We're talking about a low 5-10 base movespeed increase. Really not that big of a deal when it comes to roaming, but it does make a difference when dodging skill shots.

I mean. It is a MASSSIVE deal. I dont know why you are trying to downplay 5-10 movement speed increase. ITs HUUUUGE why do you think celerity was nerfed so hard. IT only gave you about 3-5 movement speed in laning before it was nerfed to like 1%. Its HUGE and its highly abusable on mages with high cc and zone control as well as waveclear. Riot is never going to make this change. Anivia is already a monster in lane.

The MS increase from celerity is about the same. The nerf was the damage you gained from the movespeed increase. If you calculated it, you'd also find the raw change in movement speed from celerity effectively didn't change.

And no, she's not a monster in lane. She stopped being a monster in lane a long time ago. They made sure of that with a big set of nerfs. Even Froggen doesn't play find her worth playing in competitive anymore. Let that sink in.

Not going to argue with you. Simply put its not happening no matter how much you cry about it on pbe. :)

You can say that now but I'm not looking for your approval. It wouldn't be the first time Riot's taken one of my suggestions to heart and added it to patch notes.

I doubt that's gonna happen

Because she already has her Ult and W to control and zone

The higher MS goes to the champions with less CC

She does need a movement speed buff. YES, she has great CC but at a major cost that goes far beyond just low movement speed. Shes also held down by her absurdly high mana costs and dont even get me started on high cooldowns. If you miss you Q, which is easy given how slow it and predictable it is, and becomes a brainless dodge by any champion with basic boots Dont even need boots for most champs to dodge it. To drop a full 4 move combo coste HUNDREDS in mana before her ult even gets to full size. Its a no brainer when you consider the state of new champions released and reworked today that if anivia was brand new and released this week, Do you think she would be in the same aged and fragile state that shes has been? Absolutly not. MAKE ANIVIA GREAT AGAIN...or atleast more playable
