With those changes anivia is pushed towards support role . She has decent range poke , stun , walls and aoe slow . She can focus only on mana , and it ' s easier for a support to get defensive stats and full cdr . As for trapping champions , maybe with Cassio W effect , because how many champions are without any form of dash , not to mention even proto belt , can get you over anivia wall . Edit talking about new players . Do you think current anivia is attractive enough to play her instead ahriSyndravictor ? Each of them provide cc , and tons of damage . At late game , getting cced by one of them means death . However as anivia if you even have 800 ap , you can still exploit 1 , 5 sec gap in her ulty , or dash through her stun and she won ' t be able to retaliate .
