Any Anivia changes planned?

She's too overbearing for melee champions mid lane /even more than Orianna was on release/ does excessive BURST damage while building like while not scaling with mana, has a stun, her whole kit is awful to play against - you cannot escape or get close, because of the wall and she can alter your positioning and then stun you into a certain death from as early as lvl 4.

Honestly I don't know how the community hasn't picked her up considering & + + nerfs each patch.

Maybe you should try actually playing champions that do well against her? I don't know why this is a surprise, some champions simply have a hard time against others, you should be able to play different champions to avoid this if you ever plan to get anywhere in this game. Seriously, picking any melee into Anivia might as well be saying, "I want to lose."

she was broken before the rework and after. am not sure if shes a burst mage or a sustained damage mage. you get close to her. she ults you and even if you get out asap you look at death report and her ult did some 500 damage so quickly. shes one of the champions i hate in the game.

Anivia was semi-bearable before, but since they fixed her up a little in the mage update she's awful to play against. RE half healths any mid laner for basically one ability considering they only have to be in the ult for one tick to receive the debuff. She has her passive so she can go pretty ham early game and not really worry about dying unless it was a gank. You can't "just kill her, she's immobile" because she builds moderately tanky (RoA + Seraphs) and has her passive. She got a longer CC on her Q for like 20 base damage off of rank 5 Q and 10% AP, and for some reason while I don't believe it got a missile speed increase her Q seems pretty quick compared to what it used to be.

Kind of reminds me of Yasuo vs Vel'koz. Even though Yasuo and Anivia might be considered balanced by Riot and some others, it doesn't change the fact that they absolutely counter certain champions in lane.

just to add - I'm mostly jungling so it doesn't bother me all that much, but it's pretty hard to get close to Anivia without fear of death unless you flash preemptively into her which opens you to a stun > E

She was broken for months and still is. Her waveclear, burst and the fact that she can make you half life by just pressing r+e. I begged for nerfs since last years worlds where she dominated hard when she was picked. Her burst is so damn unreal.

Most ranged midlaners are good against melee champs
