Anivia desperately needs a visual update

bees are dying·Apr 8, 2015·8 votes·3,109 views

All of her skins, besides Blackfrost, look way too flat. She received a much needed update in 2013, but now it seems shes outdated again. I suggest making the ice of her wings move with the flap of her arms, like they do on Blackfrost. Owning all of her skins, I would like to use the Team Spirit skin due to its rarity, but it looks so flat (and basically like play-doh) that I now tend to use BlackFrost more. This is the same for any of her skins. Also, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, UPDATE HER PORTRAIT ART. I'm tired of looking at a Pterodactyl that got ran over by a car. Just look at this thing, its worse than Zilean's AND Udyr's old portraits, both of which were updated. Shes not the most popular champion, so I understand her not getting much attention, but she definitely could use it. . The colors all look fine, but we can all agree her texture is flat.

There is a new splash art for her somewhere. It was at Worlds last year: http://i.imgur.com/DyOtlQU.jpg

That's as much as you can see though. Irelia too.

Its hard to tell, but it looks like a pretty good picture. I dont see why they cant swap out something like with the current one

Would love to see this happen. I am hoping that the long delay means that Riot is working really hard on this and it's going to be a masterpiece when finally released.

Anivia is my #2 Favorite Mage Champion but unfortunately as you have explained the Blackfrost skin is the only 1 that makes Aniva look amazing while the main skin & the others still look really old & dated. so yes please Riot i would like to see Aniva needs at least a new model or make the other skin look more current & not so flat.

I completely agree. I think Anivia was one of the first "texture rebalanced" champs. It was a nice band-aid for the time but I think it's time she actually got a new model and some new animations. Or at the very least, a new model. Since Riot has a tendency to bind new models to old rigs anyway.

Thats exactly what im hoping for. Just something to make her visually bearable to look it.

Anivia doesn't look very good without Blackfrost Anivia.

What if snow/ice particles dropped out around her wings as she moves around?

It's a good idea, but personally I still feel like her texture would still have a flat, singular moving appearance. :(

Also, I forgot to mention that hextech anivia has wings that flow witht he flap of her wings too, not only blackfrost anivia. Thats an error on my part.
