What is wrong with riot. There is a reason why the put Anivia's difficulty bar to the max. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH HER IS HER ESCAPING SKILLS. Riot nerfed the duration of chill of her Q from 3 to 2 and R duration from 2 to 1. Great now she cannot ESCAPE AT ALL FROM HIGH MOVEMENT SPEED CHAMPS. NO WAYYYYYYYY. BETTER BUFF HER IN patch 5.25. OR DELETE THE NERF, AND NOT APPLY IT TOWARDS 5.24 official Patch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FacerollKatarina2 votesChampion's difficulty has nothing to do with them getting nerfs lol
Fionatic1 votesBut still...... It's making this champion EVEN harder for the new anivia players. Especially when her ult is nerfed. From 1200 to 1000 ;-; she is going to be so weak against the champions that chases her down
TheCeeJay1 votesYou do realize it is a change that was added to the PBE, not all of these hit the live servers (Riven's "Edge" mechanic has yet to be re-added to the PBE even). At that, the reduced slow on her Q has been reverted back to live values. Calm down.
Fionatic1 votesWell I hope she going to be like riven and not be applied to the real patch
Vesarixx1 votesThe change was already reverted on the PBE according to Surender@20
Fionatic1 votesAnd nerfed her ult... Even worse lol. Anivia can no longer play super super aggressive.
Vesarixx1 votesThe only thing changed was the chill duration being lowered, and her ult will reapply the chill as long as they stay in the area, this is not that big a change, she can still play aggressive, she still deals great damage, still clears waves easily. Aside from that this might not even ever go live.
Fionatic1 votesI guess ur correct. But when they say 1200 to 1000 do they mean the ult radius or the range of activating the ult?
Vesarixx1 votesI haven't seen anything about the range changing, but the current range you can be from your ult at level 16 before it deactivates is 1200, so if that's being changed it's not really a big deal for going aggro since it's a late game change, and how often will you want to have your ult active 1200 units away from you?
Fionatic1 voteswell.. i hope its not gonna be in the patch. and i activate my ult quite often i still dont under stand what the 1200 range to 1000 range will do. but i know its something bad towards anivia.
Vesarixx1 votesDo you have a link to the post where it mentions this? If it's just a nerf to the range before it turns off at level 16 they might as well just call it a QoL buff that will conserve mana on the off chance late game is ever reached.
redbull papi1 votesAlso, specific buffs and nerfs to champions are not the only ways that those champions change in power. Changes to sets of items and changes to masteries also have a profound impact on any number of champions at once, from one to all 120+. Right now, Anivia is benefitting from the new Deathfire Touch mastery more than nearly the entire field of AP champions, except for maybe Brand. Therefore, her power differential is causing imbalance.
Giving her a champ-specific nerf is one way of addressing this. However, judging by the revert, I doubt that's how they want to address the issue. Expect them to look more closely at the Deathfire Touch mastery itself.
