So everyone's maxing Q over wall? Seems like i must be doing something wrong. I usually start lvl'ing W at 8 and max it second.

i still prefer wall over Q cause i can make bigger plays off of walls than a higher ranked Q mid-game

- Anivia has both the lowest health and lowest health scaling in the game. This is very bad because in bot, you probably aren't going to be able to get under tower to egg safely.
- You can run oom very easily with RoA+blue on mid farm/levels. Support Anivia doesn't get any of this.
- You aren't taking advantage of her scaling. Other supports have generally crappy ratios. Anivia has 1.0 scaling on 2 skills. You could either play mid and be able to burst an AD for over 2k late game, or do less than 1/3 that as a support anivia.
- No sustainable zone control. Mid anivia should have the mana pool to ult siege a tower for 5-10 seconds at a time, and still have the mana to fight late game. Support anivia doesn't.

I max them both out evenly. Wall is op in team fights man. If a tower goes down early, or for some other reason I think we're about to have a big team fight. I will get lvl two wall at 8 for the team fights.

Tried anivia on some normals, and she seems super fun. Only problem is, that hitting Q is so super hard for me, that i think when i go to rankeds i wont hit it once in any match. Luckily my normal elo is so low (only used it for leveling and drunk playing with friends) that there they wont really even try to evade them.

Oh, and wall over Q? I have to give it a try. Q just seems to be so much damage if you can hit it, that it seems stupid not to take it second. If you hit both procs its 360 + 1AP ratio, that has to be one of the highest damage normal spells in the game? Well, ill play until i feel comfortable with that Q in normals, and then give her a try in rankeds...

Anivia free week, so I tried her out.

I'm curious what the best item build currently is, now that Athene's Unholy Grail is out. I tried it in my game, and it worked very well (11/6/18), against a brand no less. I feel like it's core now, all the stats are amazing for Anivia, and chalice only costs 890, less than 2 doran's. Unholy grail + blue + masteries = 39% CDR, perfect.

I went:

boots 3 -> chalice -> catalyst -> sorc shoes -> RoA -> unholy grail -> deathcap -> void staff -> (defensive item) (the game ended before i could get 6th item)

I liked it a lot, but my AP sucked for almost the entire mid-game due to late deathcap. But I'm not sure how else to build it, if I delay RoA by too much it's not as useful, and I need the early chalice for mana. However it seemed to work out well.

I feel like RoA/deathcap/void staff/sorc boots are core. So for me it comes down to chalice -> unholy grail vs. tear -> AA staff. They both are very good. AA staff gives more mana, and more AP than unholy grail, but unholy grail gives MR, CDR, and more mana regen, especially if you're snowballing, and even moreso if you have blue buff, since the passive is %-based. But if you don't get blue buff, perhaps tear is better.

I see your complaints and raise you a Alistar Anivia kill lane with AD carry going mid. It happened in ranked in solo queue cause our AD demanded mid, so I was like wtf, but we'll try it. I ended up getting 4 kills fairly early thanks to our Alistar. This was a couple months ago, so you won't see it in my match history.
