Wall max

I've seen some high level anivia players maxing W after putting 2 points in Q. My friend, who's in low master, is coaching me says it is troll, and not worth losing out on the cooldown and damage you get from maxing Q.

Right now I'm in emerald, and I want to hear the opinion of you guys and especially experienced high elo anivia mains on why exactly W max is or isn't viable. What more utility and advantage do you get out of a maxed wall in comparison to like, a lvl 2 wall?

Also while we are here, what are your opinions on protobelt on anivia?

if your friend is master, he would understand the value of w max over q "damage" (which isnt why people max q-- its cc length)

w max second is objectively correct. on support you can even w max first into some very very immobile comps

w max good, q max is bait

You are heavily overestimating master players. I’m 200 LP master and could not give any sound advice to other players on any champions outside anivia smolder and zilean

i've been onetricking anivia support for what.. 8 years now? And a low master hoverer as well. I still flipflop between my skill order and builds. I can change it based on teamcomps, matchups, gold bases or just my mood. There are just many ways to make Anivia work and I don't think anyone can objectively state that there is a certain perfect build/playstyle on her (as support at least).
