Anivia does not have a bad lategame. I think that your appraisal of her speaks more to your inexperience with the champion and/or your teammates, than any issues that Anivia actually has inherently. Her ratios are fine, if you consider that Frostbite's damage is doubled and Flash Frost can effectively hit twice. In fact, one of the things that makes Anivia so deadly in lategame is that not only can she rip minion waves in seconds, but the speed she does it makes is almost impossible to stop her from farming.

I wouldn't judge her lategame performance against people like Nocturne (assassins are made to counter mages like Anivia) or Tryndamere. T cannot farm easily, especially early, so it's your team's fault for letting him get so farmed as to be unkillable. Even still, if you have a properly built team, with anti-Trynd CC like suppression and knock-ups, he is no threat: just burst him down (easy for you, since Trynd players never build survival items) and force him to use Endless Rage, and then CC him during the duration. Walling him off is also pretty effective since it forces him to use his escape move as a gap closer (ie: he won't have it to escape with). Zhonya's is a very effective counter-item as well, since the active will eat up 40% of his god-mode time.
