RIP Anivia. Riot killed her cold turkey, just in time for thanksgiving.
Ok seriously riot, WHY would you totally destroy Anivia's reliable pressure with her RE combo, and not even revert her E base damage nerf you JUST DID like 2 patches ago?
You punish her reliability, but don't up the reward for getting the E bonus damage.
Please think about this riot. At least give us Anivia players SOMETHING for having to work twice as hard for our pressure. As much as I like making more walls, this change completely ruins already difficult matchups against mobile assassins like LeBlanc, Ahri, or Zed. Without reliable burst she doesn't even win otherwise decent matchups like Viktor or Syndra. This nerf is way out of line with your goals for control mages. You have talked about the reliable burst needed to threaten a zone in patch notes about champions like Orianna and Viktor, but then completely destroy Anivia's reliability with this patch.
Please reconsider, this change makes Anivia nigh unplayable in the current meta.
