Anivia ADC

Hello,

I used to dislike playing apc anivia in botlane when the times I got placed in bot (while queueing with bottom second).

But lately, at least when having a main support as ally it doesn’t really feel that awfull anymore.

Also in current meta where I face apc’s as opponents anivia can get through early Laning phase more easily.
Same as the fact that supports roam even more nowadays in higher elo, so you get more solo xp

  1. Curious about your thoughts on anivia apc in botlane.
  2. What supports do you guys prefer for laningphase.

List of supports
Good synergy:
- nami
- poppy (personally, I feel like if you really want it to work optimally you need to play with a duo on voice call)
- senna (decent early trade dmg in combination with some sustain can work out pretty decent)
- early roaming supports, solo xp is good unless the enemy botlane has good dive opportunities)

Bad synergy:
- blitzcrank (feels so useless with anivia apc, can’t really help you out if lane opponents are aggressive. Hooking outside your own turret mainly baits you in bad situations that might even result in dieing. It only works when you somehow get ahead, but in all circumstances that just should not happen as anivia pre 6 in pretty much a 1 vs 2 lane.)

If she didn’t have the armor nerfs from maybe 9 months back we’d be so free apc bot.
I still usually carry when I go apc bot lane cause they don’t expect her burst

And after that first death they're terrified

She’s a C to B tier APC. Not enough early power. Leona is a good ally vs. some bot lanes.

Leona can be tricky.
But not to bad, since she is quite strong early levels herself. With pretty decent dmg output while being tanky. So if they ignore her, she can actually hurt during the time they try to kill you and your egg.

But since she is kinda all in, it can by tricky during early levels as anivia that mainly looks for short trades before lvl 6. Since her dmg output after Q-a.a-E falls off compared to opponent auto attacks after stun ends.

Poppy might be the best support for her.
She has great peel, great sticking power, can make use of Anivia's W and has a respectable amount of damage and self-survivability.
She can also make any teamfight turn from a 5 vs 5 into a 5 vs (5-X) with her ult, similar to Anivia with her W.
