Just as I thought, they nerf Anivia in PBE and you know what, it's E damage with Q/R that they will butcher. Though I hate the nerf, it is in the right direction of reducing her "easy, cheesy" targeted damage.

Making a champ easier many times can be huge buff. Ori and Cass are prominent examples for this. And what is the counterplay for Anivia ER then? Just stay back? Nope. That combo has NO counterplay, and I am saying this as an Anivia main, not as a hater. I don't think the existence of Elise, Fizz or Vlad counts as counterplay anyway. E is at exactly 600 to give ADC a chance to fight back against someone that's gonna throw a targeted ice shard at them (as most ADC have range of 550, which is equal to 650 spell range).
