Do not nerf Anivia (6.9~6.10 a nerf to Anivia?)

BUT SIR··3 votes·937 views

First of all, sorry for my bad english.

Update patches should aim at fixing bugs and balancing the gameplay. Before patch 6.9, Anivia was already unpopular in normal games or ranked games. Why would we need a further "nerf" on her while other mages (e.g. brand, malhazar) got buffed in patch 6.9!?

Patch 6.9 critically minimized her R's initial size while the cast range is also shortened. Although patch 6.10 gives her a longer cast range than before, the expending design of R is still seriously nerfing her from playing against some mobile mid laner like Zed, Ahri and LB. Although there are some compensation like stronger slowing movement speed, the 6.9+6.10 patches are overall nerfing Anivia. Why would Riot nerf an unpopular champion!? I am disappointed.

Can Riot bring us back the instant full size R for Anivia, please?

p.s. not to mention the removal of slowing atk speed

Anyway, you think patch 6.9~6.10 is overall a nerf / buff to Anivia?

6.9 was a rework of her kit to introduce more consistent laning, 6.10 is a buff to her abilities because 6.9 made her a little too weak. Overall, it's more of a change than a nerf.

Anivia Changes 6.9:

Basic Attack speed upped (Buff)

Q - Flash Frost DAMAGE 60/90/120/150/180 ⇒ 60/85/110/135/160 (Nerf) RATIO 0.5 ability power ⇒ 0.4 ability power (Nerf) STUN DURATION 1 second ⇒ 1.1/1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5 seconds (Buff) SLOW 20% ⇒ 20/30/40% (scaling with rank of R - Glacial Storm) (Buff) Q is a wash

E - Frostbite MISSILE SPEED 1200 ⇒ 1600 (Buff) CAST RANGE 650, measured from Anivia’s hitbox center to her opponent’s ⇒ 600, measured from Anivia’s hitbox edge to her opponent’s (overall range buff of ~35) (Nerf)

E is a wash

R - Glacial Storm CAST RANGE 625 ⇒ 685 (buff) RADIUS 400 ⇒ 150 (Washed by glacial expansion) SLOW 20% at all ranks ⇒ 20/30/40% (buff) removed - ATTACK SPEED SLOW No longer slows attack speed (Nerf) new - GLACIAL EXPANSION Now expands to a radius of 400 over 3 seconds new - FINAL FORM At maximum size, Glacial Storm’s damage, chill duration and slow are increased by 50% (Buff)

R is buffed overall

Now the 6.10 notes

R - Glacial Storm COST PER SECOND 40/50/60 mana ⇒ 30/40/50 mana (Buff) CAST RANGE 685 ⇒ 750 (Buff) INITIAL RADIUS 150 ⇒ 200 (Buff) SWAGSTORM Using Zhonya’s Hourglass no longer interrupts Glacial Storm (Fix)

R is buffed.

Read the patch notes more carefully, Anivia has been buffed in the last two updates.

Hopefully this summoner 13 things up for you.

I'm out summoner 4
