Anivia is one of my mains, so it frustrates me when other people on my team play her poorly. I guess the one up side is this is the only week I can really practice my Anivia vs Anivia match up in normals. | ||

Cast E, then R right after, chunk people's health down to nothing. Must be hard to be an anivia player. The only difficult combo is to toss the Q, then the wall, to default them into the Q, then activate Q for stun, then E, R combo. | ||

You could simplify this by only needing to mix one element from one of your QWEs into your ult (still 3 combinations), then you realize you just made leblanc | ||

I guess the one up side is this is the only week I can really practice my Anivia vs Anivia match up in normals. the solution is generally to either pick mid or anivia first or simply ban her anivia mirrors don't have much to practice imo, laning phase consists of farming all day and not getting caught in a wall | ||

I don't understand this sentiment that any champions in this game are "hard to play", they're all fairly mechanically easy to play. The most nuances of champions usually revolve around some comboing of abilities, and maybe positioning, but other than that I don't understand the whole, "this champion is hard to play" (and maybe playstyle). The only time a champion is hard to play, is when you've got a bad matchup, and anivia doesn't really have many bad matchups for the most part. | ||

She's got no mobility (300 base move speed, no movement skills), which means poor positioning is very punishable and people can "play scared" extremely effectively against you. Being aggressive with Anivia ends up relying very heavily on her two harder-to-use skills (Q and W) and can backfire VERY easily if you put these skills on cooldown to no effect. Her hard CC can be difficult to hit because of how slow it is - to the point of relying on "enemy didn't dodge" more than "I aim well" unless you're casting from a blind spot or restricting their dodge paths with wall. Her wall, when placed poorly, will be harmful for the Anivia player When placed mediocre it will achieve very little. Most skills if you use them at least passably correctly, influence things only positively. Not so with Anivia's wall (even trundle's pillar is MUCH simpler to use, because it slows only enemies.) | ||

Did you know the ping "targeting reticle" also sticks with the right target? So if you ping Shaco with no buffs, and he Ults, they look exactly the same - except the real one will still have the ping icon over their head. Did not know that. That's amazing. I will now furiously ping all the Shacos all the time. | ||

Sure you have egg, but baiting properly with egg is a difficult skill in and of itself because it requires you to have a very good understanding of both how much damage the enemy champions can do to you, and how well your teammates can counter-engage while you are egged. | ||

For example: -Q is a single target nuke -W is an AoE of some sort -E is a utility spell R, however, would be a sort of toggle, where each time you hit it, it shifts elements. Sort of like Jayce or Nidalee, where pressing it "shifts" your character. However, instead of changing your kit for each "shift", it just enhances each ability differently. Example as above: -E changes utility based on element. E(Fire) increases damage by other fire spells (burns), E(water/ice) slows, E(Lightning) silences, E(Earth) debuffs Armor/MR -Q nuke works differently, Q(Fire) does less initial but DoT's, Q(Water/Ice) has less of a cooldown, Q(Lightning) can jump to other targets, Q(Earth) does more damage if the target is stationary, etc. -W(Fire) grows slowly, W(Water) pulls people towards the middle like a whirlpool, W(Earth) does more damage the more targets are in the circle, W(Lightning) does more damage the less targets are in the circle, etc. Then maybe each element could work with each other in a different way. Using Ice/Water element Q or W would soak the target, making electric do more damage, what have you. Would probably be too much "burden of knowledge", though. | ||

He isn't saying that nobody should try to get better, he is saying that your ELO is a lot more dependent on what your team does in conjunction with you, not just you.. ELO was designed for 2 player games, not 5v5 | ||
