bird was always op, it's only taken people a year to figure out that bird is still op after all the nerfs tbh they've been saying this since like 2010 and she still has never had a proper fotm That's because it's easier to play something OP and simple like Diana or Rengar than something that requires finesse and thinking. exactly, and quite frankly i don't see this changing now or any time soon for anivia. Anivia is really good at killing single targets, and working well with her team. Sadly, Anivia can't snowball in such a way to pretty much win the game by herself very easily (unlike diana). This is because she can't dive to kill carries easily, doesn't have any kind of resets, works better when people are diving your team rather then vice versa. This is also the reason why I gave up on playing Cassiopeia. Way too hard to carry in soloQ. The reason I never started playing Cass in solo queue is because there are so many gap closers in the game and it's a pain to play against with a champion like Cass (I still thoroughly enjoy playing her in normals though). Gapclose honestly isn't *that* big of a problem. If it's a match up I feel I can't win, I will just max Q first and farm. The same principle applies to Anivia. The problem is that if other lanes are falling apart it's difficult to help them. I'm talking more about mid/lategame, I'm mostly talking about gap-closers like Irelia's etc. in all honestly anivia is my go to ap of choice vs gap closing types late game cause she has more peel potential for her self and her team than almost any other ap
And I agree. Anivia has tons of self peel and she also is great for helping your team make strategic retreats. Often times in solo queue after taking a turret or inhibitor someone is usually not smart enough to retreat immediately. Then you have the whole enemy team chasing them down. Thankfully, a good Anivia can drop her Wall between you and them. Ult if they flash through the wall, and connect with her Q to shut down the chase. I really can't think of another AP champ that has 3 moves that shut down chasing as hard as Anivia does.

When you play against a good anivia you get wrecked by the walls and you're like "damn this overpowered bird"

I like karthus. Wall's a bit weaker than anivia's but screwing it up doesn't screw your entire teamfight over like anivia's
Practice. Practice and more Practice. After about 300 games as Anivia, I finally feel comfortable enough to drop my wall regularly. Now, the only times I have a "I'm helping" moment is when I have a lag spike when I am attempting to drop a wall.
IMO the best walls are the defensive ones when the enemy team is trying to take your inhibitor turret and you wall 2-3 of them in your ult to also get shot at by turret and jumped on by your team.

If you look at Anivias kit she really is broken. Higher base damage on Q and E than any other ap hero. 1:1 AP ratio on both. Ridiculous CC. Good passive. Really though if you compare her numbers to other champs in terms of base damage and scaling its ridiculous. Anivias E has a higher base damage than a level 3 morgana ult.
Its just she is hard to play well and not new or exciting. People flock to heroes like Ahri and Diana then they get nerfed and people move on to the next new thing. If Anivia ever started getting picked more in Solo Q she would be nerfed. Same deal with Karthus.. hes been nerfed a lot but hes still pretty fucking OP. The only reason hes not still picked every tournament game is the prevalence of assassins mid right now.

Has anyone tried Leona recently with like Armor reds/yellows and quints and full block masteries? Seems like she would be like an unstoppable tank in lane.
Also I'm gonna try out onhit/melee Kassadin again....they doubled his ap ratio and there are some sweet new items like the new malady/rageblade/nashors/muramana/BOTRK. Also the new Bveil with the 25 second shield is ludicrously good on him, nobody has a chance to pre-pop it or plan out what to pop it with when you fucking blink up their ass and start whaling on them, so you get a 2.6 second silence and negation of one of their spells = win any 1v1
Or if you arent winning you just leave because you are kassadin.

Except that in order to get the 1:1 AP ratios you have to trigger Q manually to get the double damage, and you have to connect with either your ult or Q to get the double damage on E. Anivia does take significantly more skill to play effectively. The reason why she doesn't get nerfed is because you are going to hard pressed to carry with her in solo queue. Anivia needs a reliable team in order to win. I've had 13/6 and 13/3 scores and still lost because Anivia cannot be everywhere at once and if your team positions poorly or goes in one at a time, then there is little she can do about it.
I have 2 seasons of a losing win to loss ratios with Anivia while maintaining great CS and KDA to back this up.

Except she has been nerfed repeatedly already. Her ult got more expensive and her egg was nerfed multiple times. Not to mention how easy it is to dodge her Q so she has little to no lane presence until 6. And with the increase to champion speed, champions can afford to not buy boots and still dodge Anivia Q.

Which is why balancing in league (and a lot of video games) is retarded.
Here's an example from SC2:
"hey guys, in sc2, korean terrans have 70% win rate"
"we need to nerf terran"
"but, foreign terrans have 50% win rate"
"npnp we nerf"
After nerf:
"hey guys, korean terrans have 50% win rate"
"foreign terrans have 30% win rate now though"
"doesn't matter game is balanced k thx"
^This example doesn't even include the ladders
You either have a high skill-cap champion that is super strong (OP) with the best of the best, while the worse players are doing okay at best. If you nerf the champion, it becomes inaccessible to the large user base since it's high skill for less reward, but on the other hand it balances the game at the pro level.
edit: I also want to add that "high-skill" league players probably have the mechanics of a diamond sc2 player (sheer apm and accuracy). Of course, team cohesion is even more important.

I don't really get your point. So what if Froggen thinks Anivia is in need of a nerf. Being really strong but having a very high skill demand to unlock that strength is perfectly fine. In fact it's good design. Why would riot want to ruin good design just because a progamer wants to play something else(Even though he's just playing bruisers these days)?

Actually, game balance in a "competitive esport" only has to do with how it balances out for the highest level of play.

I think Anivia's skillcap is not as high as Cassiopeia right now, yet no one cries about Cass nerfs.

Well Cass has no team that built their playstyle around her like CLG.EU. Anivia was the embodiment of CLG.EU for a long time and still is to some extent.

So if league is a competitive esport as riot tries to say, then how come they aren't nerfing the bird (and other top tier champions) who is clearly op at higher levels? And why does league balance in favor of casual players (remember riot saying they wouldn't buff xin because he was too noob stomp even though he was garbage in real games)?
I still think competitive league is a joke, there's practically no sponsors and at this point only riot is throwing money at it
edit: a problem with league is they add new shit to it too often, so power creep becomes a massive issue (i.e. everyone has fucking resets, no mana issues, some new items are absurdly powerful now, etc.)

First off, there are these things called bans. So what if one player is god tier with one champ. You ban the champ and problem solved. Second, LoL is still largely aimed at casuals, as such balance is going to focus on making the game as fun for as many people as possible. Third, even Froggen still loses games because Anivia by herself does not a game win. There are 4 other players on his team and 5 on the other team that also affect the outcome. Fourth, deny Anivia blue and you shut her down real hard because Anivia is arguably the most mana hungry champ in the game.

Ignoring the fact that Xin was being reworked as old xin was either really strong or terrible(What a fun line of balance). They have indirectly hit Anivia several times with Blue rework, item changes and the like. Just because they have not outright hit her directly doesn't mean she hasn't been effected by these things.
But thanks for using all of this as a lure to call League a joke in it's own subforum. Good job. Take your amateur game designer degree and bug off.

I still think competitive league is a joke, there's practically no sponsors and at this point only riot is throwing money at it edit: a problem with league is they add new shit to it too often, so power creep becomes a massive issue (i.e. everyone has fucking resets, no mana issues, some new items are absurdly powerful now, etc.) Ignoring the fact that Xin was being reworked as old xin was either really strong or terrible(What a fun line of balance). They have indirectly hit Anivia several times with Blue rework, item changes and the like. Just because they have not outright hit her directly doesn't mean she hasn't been effected by these things. But thanks for using all of this as a lure to call League a joke in it's own subforum. Good job. Take your amateur game designer degree and bug off.
They also "indirectly" buff anivia, with what, grail (it only took people a few months to figure this one out) and as an extension more people buying chalice, which significantly mitigates mana issues (with blue 0 fucks are given), and as a further extension, all your mana regen nerfs are of no consequence. Combine this with having a broken kit (seriously, that wall) and retarded scaling and you have something that is clearly, and the pros agree.
But I digress, gogo casual balancing. I'm kinda surprised that darius is still where he is right now, actually.
It also doesn't take a shitty game degree to figure out when something is broken and needs fixing. But hey, we all enjoy league of black cleaver, right?

To resolve this issue of power creep, I can forsee Riot rolling out minor nerfs to the top 10 most played champions in League Tournaments.
Another question about the number of champions in league. Does any think Riot will or should ever retire certain champions from Ranked play in an effort to keep the champion pool from getting out of hand?

Anivia is inaccessible to like 95% of LoL players. Not only because of skillcap, but because even if you master the bird, the rest of your team still will derp around and it won't matter. Her strength is teamfights, but "teamfights" always end up being a series of 2v3s where one side inevitably follows up on a single player's derp causing a team derp into a loss.
TOO has a semi-famous video about this, but I can't find it.
