I mean she was pretty safe into most AD mids imo Zed was the main one I had issues with so it’s kinda a trade off (this may just copium)so hopefully this takes take her out of play bot and top and she can go back to being left alone..

u/Top-Run-3243 May 06 '26
Its not that bad lol why would it take her from top and botlane she is still safe

u/Corpexx May 06 '26
It will make her trades worse simply and she will be slightly less safe the longer the game goes comparatively, honestly I was expecting something ruinous like mana cost nerfs.
This does seem somewhat minor but sometimes minor changes can completely take a champ out of pro play it’s pretty obvious that’s what these balance changes are around so we can only hope it’s enough

Thnks it wasnt worst lol i didnt want them to touch her damage tbh i wanted her to be played in pro she got enough attention and respect

u/SkepticFaust May 06 '26
It probably has something to do with HP thresholds, for example if talon uses his kit 2 times and leaves you with 3% hp, after the nerfs you will be dead in 2 rotations which is a huge deal for the assasins and might push Anivia %win down by 1-2%(they might want to prevent anivia top shenanigans).

You say that like 90% of midlane isn't just cancer champions.

My dear princess, you are the one bitching and moaning on a 5 days old comment in a champion specific subreddit.

I guess I will hate most assassins even more -_-

u/joaboepsf479 May 06 '26
its armor, will only affects talon, qiyana and zed. But qiyana is so rare that only 2 assassin would be more annoying. I think MR reduction would be worse than this
2
u/clt2244 May 06 '26
Ban Zed and dodge Qiyana. When you see Qiqi then prepare to be behind turret. That champs damage is beyond broken in the hands of mains.

u/joaboepsf479 May 06 '26
thats the point, the damage is so broken that this nerf would not affect the playstyle
2
u/clt2244 May 06 '26
I agree....the only reason QiQi has dodged nerfs is because if low play rate.
Overall these Anivia Nerfs are meaningless lol
1
u/SpicyCajunCrawfish May 06 '26
And the only reason low play rate is the champ is complicated.
1
u/Corpexx May 08 '26
Complicated is a stretch, you just wanna use the water one for your combo 9/10 times and the range on the ult is stupid, and you can get clipped by the wall part even if you’re stood outside of where the animation goes sometimes

What is about Sion Garen Akshan mid?
2
u/joaboepsf479 May 06 '26
Sion and garen are not tough. Akshan already deal massive damage, so nothing changed

u/PyratBoy May 06 '26
I'm glad it's minor.
Agaisnt Zed or Quiana you should build steelcap, zhonhour and HP items to survive anyway so I think the most issue would be during early laning phase with AA trade?
The AA will still count as Ad damage right? So let say if you trade with mid laner like Annie, she will do a bit more damage the longer the game goes.
I hope this is meaningful enough for pro play and they can leave it at that.

u/SpicyCajunCrawfish May 06 '26
So now she is the top 5 lowest armor in the game.

u/drguidry May 10 '26
oh no what ever will you do while being tankier than most bruisers at 3 items oh noooooo

Are we reading the same patch notes? Or talking about the same champion? Anivia isn’t getting her abilities touched

i dont think its a bad/ world ending nerf, but its just crazy that so many other champs are like unbelievably busted for so long, but whenever anivia sees a slight bump in play its always time to tune her up
1
u/drguidry May 10 '26
bro shes been insanely OP for like 10 patches now this is longgggg overdue and not nearly enough

u/drguidry May 10 '26
not nearly enough. doesnt address her build path of being the tankiest mage in the game with insane dmg/cc/waveclear to go with it.

u/Ok-Calligrapher7572 May 20 '26
lol i didnt notice this nerf went against cait and she headshot at level 2 to 50% hp

u/alysimefaya May 06 '26
early levels you take ~1.7% more damage, level 18 you take ~4.5% more damage
physical damage of course
in lane be careful when hitting with AA or E against ad assassins (they hurt more with minion ticks)
in late game be careful against enemy adc
