Well, I don't really recommend picking veigar unless the other team picks a heavily ap caster first. I save him as a 4th/5th pick counter in ranked matches, and grab a more reliable caster like kennen or vlad any earlier than that.

If you like to be a anticaster, kassadin is another good choice. He has the exact same roll as veigar but can also blink away.

true, just because i only had one good instance with Veig doesn't mean I'll like him. Like Ashe. I bought her and I hate her now, she's so boring and simple. Although it wasn't exactly expensive or anything xD

I actually play Anivia as my main I've done pretty well with her thus far

I can respect an anivia player, but I feel obligated to ask if you use the summoner spell clarity.

I do not O.o I use flash and teleport or ghost. Is clarity a must-have for Anivias? i'm still pretty new

[Dreww]

No, it's one of the summoner spells that are the bane of bad players. I know and have played with too many people that insisted clarity was a MUST-use summoner spell so they could cover up how bad they were by spamming the ult and skillshot. Your summoners are perfect. The only other nice anivia summoners are flash/ghost + tp to do eggports, which is one of the many annoying things you can do as her.

eggports? you can do that?! Please explain how

and yeah I have items to regen my mana for me, and I know when to harass them with spells I don't use it on minions, her attack is strong enough to last hit with plenty of room for error

I'm glad to hear you're not brain dead like 90% of the community! To do eggports, you have to have near-impeccable timing. You cast teleport just before you die, with enough room to allow for the tp animations. Then when you egg, you'll be ported out just as if you had used teleport. Of course, a high-dps combo can finish you off in egg, but early to mid game it is a very safe way to oom.

I remember the first time an Aniva bitch used that on us. We had all five on her, and where like, "OMFG. Thats fucking cheating". My poison finished her off though (<3 you teemo)

I love playing with a really good aniva. You know they are good if they use their ice lance, and then ultimate right before it hits you (Makes it impossible to escape).

Back when I mained mordekaiser to get me straight from 1200 to 1700 elo at the start of season 1, the only counter to me was a good anivia. I couldn't micromanage my shield and get a fair harass off before she bursts through my shield and deals 10%+ damage. That changed quite a bit when my favorite morde buff ever came out: regrowth pendant cost reduction. Oh man, that one little potion gave me so much wiggle room to do stupid shit. The only sad part is I was already in an impractical elo to play morde.

But yeah, the rage of a 1000 suns the first time in a game an anivia eggports on you. Then by the second one, you guys outhit the timer and just laugh as the game derails from there.

I just bought lux and she's really fun bwahaha. Although I'm still better with Anivia

[Dreww]

Double snares everywhere. She has an alright burst combo, but I could never get fully into her. She feels like a half-assed support and a half-assed caster smushed into one.

I mostly just do support, getting like 5 kills and 20 assists xD

[Dreww]

Just did a game with a few of my old teammates. We started out 20/0 then dicked around even more and finished at about 40/6. A friend played lux and finished his perfect game 10/0/6

[Mr. Hobo]

5-1-8 as that blitz robot dude

he's like pudge kind of. pretty fun hero. Would be better if he had longer range/better speed on his grab. and maybe nerf his physical damage

[Dreww]

PUDGE IS AWESOME. Of the few games I watched of my friend streaming HoN for us, we all loved the tree dude and pudge.

Blitz is another champion I dislike. He's fun to dick around with, but I don't care for him past the skill level of people walking one step to get out of the way of the grab.
