She became a top pick at Worlds because of her ability to stall games, neutralize Juggs and hyper-scale as a burst mage. She's the original control mage, a sort of Viktor 1.0

When Thunderlord's Decree was buffed, people realized that Anivia can apply it super easy with a Q-E or R-E combo and chunk 50% to 70% of an enemy's health with little AP, meaning her laning phase was buffed to kingdom come.
