WHERE IS PHOENIX ANIVIA?

It is a well established fact that the main determiner of who wins a League of Legends match is based on which team is most thematically cohesive (e.g. the Dunk Squad, and the all purple team). Skins exist in order to allow us to play the compositions that we most enjoy, while not being penalized for an incohesive team. Fire is a common theme in League of Legends, (e.g. Annie, Shyvana, Wildfire Zyra, and Infernal Alistar). That leaves many opportunities for realistically successful team compositions. Playing the common bot lane combination of Anivia and Annie, I have noticed that I lose at least 25% of my games! That seems absurdly high! I was thinking of possible reasons, and it struck me that of course the one thing lacking is thematic cohesion. Why is there no Phoenix Anivia skin!? It just makes sense.

Riot, I urge to solve this great problem of our generation. And if you ask, "why not just buy the frostfire Annie skin?", I'd tell you that I didn't realize there was such a skin until I was 3/4 of the way through writing this essay, and since no one reads to the bottom of these things anyways, no one would realize my mistake.

Sincerely, The Arson

You are truly the greatest writer of our generation. I must now start on my quest to create an actual sentient phoenix with ice powers to give to you in the name of your cause. Godspeed, Mr. Arson. Godspeed.

it has to be a legendary or ult because her quotes are about ice. she already has a legendary so it wont be happening any time soon. but Zac

I literally posted the same thing last night at roughly the same time as you! Fire Phoenix Anivia would be amazing!

Why not just buy the Frostfire Annie Skin?

It would need to be legendary so it had new voice lines instead of calm anivia talking about ice and stuff. She already has black frost legendary tho

Riot said they would not do a phoenix version of Anivia for some weird reasoning that wouldn't apply today.

Edit - Found the comment. it was because of readability.

"I'd be cool with this if it were Frostfire Anivia (still makes it readable, but also makes it burny burny)," Morello. http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2173801&page=4

Phoenix Anivia is definitely an ultimate skin idea

Anivia is already a phoenix .-.
