User blog comment:Otterpaw7/How Anivia should be played/@comment-202.156.11.11-20111218130331

Firstly. i disagree with your starting items. It's much better to start with a doran's ring. It provides a decent amount of health, AP and mana regen. Secondly, harassing is the main reason why anivia is such a good mid. NOT harrassing really wastes anivia's potential at mid. If you have good prediction skills, it's really easy to hit a q at half range followed by e. Also, getting a early ToG denies the need for blue unless u randomly spam ur ult and spells. Which is quite stupid cuz even with the cdr frm blue, your cd is still very high.
