Is there anything Anivia can do that Azir can't? What could they change with Anivia?

Anivia is still the better bird

I dissagree with this. She has a GA passive, Her W does what azirs ult does in a sense. The main thing is Azir has better DPS where I feel like Anivia is more bursty.

Anivia can not do what Azir does. He has good zone control, great self peeling, and mobility. His scaling is also much better.

Ani is is great at what she does but no one near what Azir can do in the right hands

You can say that about a lot of min laners though.

Her E, is short range. She can't reposition if caught out, she has a stun that's slow moving.

If anything, Azir has the range, and zone control advantage. But hey, it's not like pro scene agrees with me or anything

well the question is "what can anivia do that azir can't", not "what anivia can't do and why what azir can do makes him better than what annivia can do"...Atleast that's what the OP is stating even though I know it's implying the latter.

Who the hell says Azir is a 'better Anivia'? The two have completely different kits. =\

the only thing they share in common is that they're both related to birds lmao

Azir can no longer hard CC without ulting.

Take it from someone who has been maining Anivia from the beginning of Season 1 at a plat+ level.

Anivia sucks ass.

Both of them are un fun to lane against, the ice bird makes me rage more (her passive counters my champs passive). Azir is much more unhealthy for the game, the ice bird can be caught out. Catching the sand bird out does not mean as much as he has a few ways of escaping or just flat killing you before you can kill him.

Throw the dirty bird (swain) into the mix and now I know why im not a Avian fan.
