Struggling with CS/last-hitting on Anivia — especially the R + first 3 melee minions. Tips?

Hey everyone,

I’m an Anivia OTP (mid), and I keep struggling with farming/last-hitting even though I really love playing her overall.

My main issue: when I use my ult (R) on the wave, I consistently miss the first 3 melee minions because my own minions tag them first and steal the last hit. It’s really hard for me to time this properly — should I be using E, Q, or an auto-attack to secure those melees? What’s the actual correct sequencing here?

On top of that, she feels extremely mana-hungry to me, even with Manaflow Band + Presence of Mind. I’m building Rod of Ages + Malignance, with Comet/DFT as keystone depending on the game, but I still feel like I run out of mana way too fast when trying to clear waves and poke at the same time.

Any advice appreciated, thanks!

Any tips for anivia support in lower elo?

Hi, im really liking anivia support. I often look at builds from onetrick website and I was wondering if i should do the same ones in lower elo. I see two variations right now, full tank and movement speed (with bandlepipes) and also ap with roa and bandlepipes. What would you reccomend building in lower elo and also do you have general tips on anivia that you guys used to improve your gameplay?

How to counter diana?

Can anyone tell me how I'm meant to play against diana mid on anivia?

Apparently the matchup is fairly even but to me it's genuinely hard losing. I had resigned to just permabanning her but recently that has just led to facing fizz over and over again and that matchup feels even worse.

Since the matchup is apparently even I wanted to learn what I'm doing wrong and how I should play it to no longer get stomped so hard.

How is Anivia in Emerald+ ?

Hi,

I played Anivia pretty good with 60+% winrate in season 6 in plat1. I remember I had alot of influence and carry potential , I used elec in early to win trades and for some reason I was really good at using her kit in skirmishes and teamfights.

I didnt played her since then really that much, I touched some games, right now according to statistik every meta midlaner counters her.

Anivia vs Syndra only 47% winrate for example. If you look u.gg counter, every counter is an meta mid laner.

I dont care that much about meta tbh. But I dont want to play something which might lose me games just by champ pick.

Will and otp anivia do good vs an otp syndra in emerald2 for example? Or is this mostly over in champ select?

In laningphase I can ofc punish bad Syndra players with dodging her E. But I think when I will play her in ranked I will play against Syndra players who will be atleast decent. I might climb to dia soon again. And I worry to pick up a champ which will be terrible the higher I climb because of the bad matchups.

What do you guys think? Is she worth to OTP? I find her fun, but I also care alot for win. I want to combine that. But I think I wont have fun playing anivia when I keep losing towards bad matchups.

my hope is, that this statistik are comming from random anivia picks, not from otps. Im not challenger smurf, so I cant rely on "outplaying" the enemy in emerald2+ or diamond.

When do you build Cryptbloom or Void Staff

Exactly as the title say, when do you guys buy either of the two, and when you do, which one do you choose?

And just in general for mages, which one do you believe fits the most situations?

Biggest buff to Anivia to date?

I'm not agree with this Last hit indicator thing, but my god, this might change the game for me.

I can remove the 10% attack speed rune and run some more damage.

I wonder if we get to see the oopenent's indicator as well?
