I think removing the cast time on her wall would be a bad change for the champion. Being able to consistently stuff movement skills would require her to be weaker in other areas of her kit and would also be most powerful in support, because that utility doesn't scale with gold, along with encouraging her to hold on to her wall to use it reactively instead of proactively setting it down to define the battlefield.

If you have specific reproduction steps for people walking through the wall, then I can take a look, but I haven't seen it myself.

Just out of curiosity, not wanting to be a bother, but I’ll admit this isn’t at all the direction I expected buffs to go in. How do you and riot in general feel about her health and squishness, since that was another large reason she built ROA? I almost expected the buffs to just be on the lines of the kassadin health per level buffs (although these are VERY nice, just not what I expected)

So, I definitely sympathize with the health decrease. Ultimately I looked at it as: I have X amount of power to work with to make Anivia feel like a functional modern champion. Where do I put it?

If I had extra room left-over, or if she's still too weak after these buffs, I very well might consider some sort of base health or health per level, but it just didn't make the cut over any of the changes I thought were most important (and I had to decrease R damage somewhat to even make room for what's here).

How do you feel about Making you being able to Cast Q2 while CCed? This has been requested for a while and I don't think it would remove counterplay like making R uncancelable.

I tested this in the first iteration of the changes (because responsiveness up was a core value). Playtest team felt it was pretty notably counterplay down and it generally felt cheap when she was able to pretty reliably CC you while she was CC'd, so I pulled the change.

Oh, I missed a line in the text version of the list. I can't check the exact numbers atm, but ult cost is also down a bit as well. It'll show up on PBE shortly, though.

Main focus is to make Anivia feel better to play in modern League without much change to her core identity or skill-tests. This is meant to be a large buff, because Anivia was hit by a large systemic nerf in 10.23. Also, the reason we didn't hotfix Anivia is because I already happened to be partway through an Anivia modernization pass when she dropped precipitously in the preseason patch, so I wanted to use that extra room to find more buffs with long-term value for the champion instead of hotfixing in generic power.

For those concerned that this is too large of a buff—if it's too much, we'll nerf her. I think a lot of these changes will make the character feel better to play without significantly eroding counterplay, though, which is the important part that will stick around when she's balanced.

The expectation is that a champion class that is designed around killing tanks should be able to do more than 20 damage vs said tanks without having to gimp their damage vs other champions.

If a glass cannon champion can't kill a tank after doing damage to them for 20 seconds while being completely ignored then what the f**k is the point of a glass cannon?

Then maybe the champion who is designed to kill tanks should itemize in a way that kills tanks and not the ones that provide a shield and the one that gives up-front burst to kill a squishy.

It's almost like ADCs actually got choice in what items to build and then complain when they do it wrong.

If Faker is alive, no one is getting paid more than him in his own league

Based on bwipo's comments on dom's podcast I actually strongly doubt it'll be upset. I'm not sure who on earth it could be instead, but it sounded like he didn't think upset was flexible enough (and according to him he knew rekkles wasn't re-signing with fnatic prior to the podcast so he was saying this while knowing they were looking for someone new).

Forg1ven?

Man, having the Rekkles-Hyli botlane breakup must be the saddest part of the offseason. It was such a slow burner of a duo, and right when they begin clicking completely, right when they are looking like one of the best in the world, this happens. They truly became the perfect pair this worlds, having Rekkles be capable of both playing the 1v2 when Hyli roamed, and smashing the 2v2 when Hyli was in lane.

Contrary to what most people are saying, I REALLY hope they don't get either Upset. Upset will try to get Hyli caged in botlane at all costs, and that ain't gonna look good. Dunno who in the f**k could fill the role Rekkles played on Fnatic. Even though 3/5 players still remain, we're looking at a complete rebuild.

Forg1ven? His contract is probs cheap

This is bugged (good catch) and fixed for 10.24.
