Anivia Gameplay Update Concept

We have an ice witch in League, and I think Anivia was meant to be League's frost mage. Currently I wouldn't say she needs a rework. Her kit works and her player are enjoys her, but I think her concept could be achieved in a way that's more enjoyable to play. Inspired by Alysia's release I decided to try to redesign Anivia and modernize her kit and concept.

1. Make her passive something she actively interacts with.
2. Make her combos less binary.
3. Build a wall and make the enemy team pay for it.
4. Give her more options for counter play and counter pushing.
5. Give her ult a big moment instead of keeping it as the always up toggle move it is now, I know this is something core to Anivia, but I think a real singular cast ultimate would be more satisfying, allow for more skill expression, and allow for pushing against her.
