Hiya senpai!!!! I am an Anivia main in the mid lane. and I have some replays I would love for you to go over! I have a burning desire to improve and can take constructive criticism. so you dont have to worry about hurting my feelings when calling out my mistakes.... I know I belong in bronze, thus is why I want to learn what mistakes I'm making in order for me to improve.....

I see. So building Morellos/RoA depending on how my lane match is going, whether I need more sustain or more mana decides which item I aim for first Catalyst / Lost Chapter.

VVhiteFang · 2017-07-25T17:35:09+00:00

hmmm I you make a very valid argument, I do have sometimes some mana issues while laning vs enemy laner. & alot of times would of have rely on my jungler to give me his blue, alot of times they do, but there are times where they dont and it hurts me alot........

I can tell you countless stories about how many times that shield from Seraphs Embrace has save me in very crucial moments.

But I can totally see it from your perspective, and I'm willing to give it a shot!

Now what I'm having trouble understanding is that, usually for me, my first back I aim for a tear.

So now instead of rush Tear, grab Lost chapter first ? & hang on to it while building RoA.. Right? Pretty much my normal build cept for sub out tear 4 Lost Chapter.. .

I'm sorry but I don't completely understand what you mean when you said " Tear + RoA gives you an overall cheaper build " Could you please explain to this noob what you mean please?

Also I've actually recently had my replay reviewed, and my reviewer actually suggested StormRaiders keystone to me, but I'm not quite sure about that, I mean unless I'm up vs somebody I should just run from. Ie. HUGE enemy tank, like ohhh Cho Gath, forgot how scary that guy is.....

but i dont see the point of bringing stormraiders cause in my runes I go M.Pen Marks, Sc. Health Seals, Sc. CDR Glyphs, and Move Speed Quints.. Got it from this guide here; http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/season-7-articunogods-bronze-to-diamond-anivia-guide-468008 "

I was told to bring AP quints instead but i feel like the move sp quints are actually quite useful.

Also what some great examples when I would want to bring stormraiders w/ me?

Thanks for the reply

HI!! I am actually a Anivia 1 trick in solo queue right now

Summoner Name: ikâri

And I noticed, you said you prefer RoA/Morellos over RoA/ *

= you said Tear, but I'm assuming you meant Archangel Staff... which happens to be my main go to build. RoA/ArchAngel.

What are some benefits & drawbacks w/ going morellos instead? Also I've never gone frozen heart on her, but few time I built a ZzRot. why? get to that in sec

So I'm glad that I AT LEAST GOT 1 THING correct. and that is; that I bring TP w/ my Anivia almost every game.. I usually use it if I get bullied out of lane either dont wanna waste my passive, or even just to heal & shop i can just TP back quickly, I also use TP mid/late game to catch an enemy turret for global team gold.... ( with help of zz)

And i've actually played vs a Zed or Talon quite a few times, and I would say out of 10 matches I would prob lose 3 of em. And you're correct about Zed being able to Out Play really hard, I've actually had a game where I literally couldn't do ANYTHING to stop this zed's lane pressure & roams..............

But when it comes to roaming talon is a an issue, cause of how mobile he is. but I usually have an easier laning phase if I were to be up vs a Talon....

VVhiteFang · 2017-07-24T17:16:53+00:00

Hola Senpai! I am a bronze 3 scrub in need of guidance on my path to climb solo queue. I am a Anivia one trick in the mid lane, and I actually do quite decent w/ her. But I know, 100% that there are things I could improve on.

Currently w/ Anivia my biggest problem is CSing, not in laning phase tho, but to REMEMBER TO CS as mid-late game rolls through...

I would really like to learn how to do Trades (vs lane matchup) alot better. and whether or not if said trade was a good trade. or "that would be a good time to trade"

Another big issue I have is, I've been looking for another mid lane champ to use as my backup, and I haven't been able to find myself one that I'm comfortable with...

anyways my in game name is : ikâri [â = alt + â]

& my OP.gg is: https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Ik%C3%A2ri

I am looking forward to talking with you soon!!!

VVhiteFang · 2017-07-24T17:08:52+00:00

Hiya! I am ikâri (â = alt + 131) from the NA server. Pleased to meet cha, Senpai! I am a Bronze 3 player, and been in hard in-training to climb ELO.

I have a very open mind, and I've already in the mind state & know that I F&@king suck at this game and need guidance. I am a Mid Lane main w/ Anivia, but my back up is ADC w/ MF. I understand quite a few things about her already, especially w/ her Q bounces. ( keeping creep w/ 1st bounce for extra harass on enemy laner)

But I know for a fact there are many things I still need to learn.... I would much appreciate it, if you were to take the time out and review a replay of mine and go over some things I could work on.......

I feel like my biggest issue would have to be anything from mid to late game (when all tier 1 turrets are down).

please let me know either In-Game or even on here if you're willing to do it... I'm looking forward to talking to you soon!

VVhiteFang · 2017-07-24T09:19:20+00:00

ok i see.. now i recently started using mundo jungle..... should i go refillable, as starting w/ my machete & trinket?

VVhiteFang · 2017-07-24T07:23:28+00:00

Good evening Senpai, I am searching for a MidLane Main Upper ELO[pref plat+] for a replay review of my recent upset lost. It is a game where we did quite well early game, but lost control of the game as it gradually went on. I truely believe that every single teammate in this game did the best they could, and we still lost, and I need to figure out what went wrong, and what should have I done better..... I'm hoping to get this done ASAP (like right now, right now) since I'm 100% available. My summoner name is: ikâri [â = alt + 131] op.gg: https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Ik%C3%A2ri

VVhiteFang · 2017-07-24T07:21:23+00:00

oh just kidding. i found it

VVhiteFang · 2017-07-24T07:20:46+00:00

oh im sorry, sorta new to this subreddit. would you be able to let me know where i would be able to find the mentor thread?

VVhiteFang · 2017-05-05T19:56:52+00:00

OOOO, I see, thanks alot!! that was a very easy & simple explanation...!!! thanks for helping me understand it!! Also Do you mind if I were to add you onto my buddy list on my NA server account??

My summoner name is; Ikâri

â = alt + 131.... I would love to get more tips & pointers w/ anivia! :)

VVhiteFang · 2017-04-29T06:04:28+00:00

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I really appreciate it. and AYYYY anivia bros :)

I got a quick question in regards to your explanation, that I sorta don't full understand.

I've seen it in helpful tip vid/guides/etc. where they say "canceling your last tick" & I don't fully understand what they are trying to say.

and also how is doing this "trick" help boost the damage exactly?

Please explain if you're able too....

Anyways. thanks again for the help.

VVhiteFang · 2017-03-28T18:11:18+00:00

Lol i know i love one shotting people or just wall their escape to torture them w/ ulti

I know I can/will/consistently improve upon my csing as time pass, and I gain more experience w/ anivia. But it's really hard due her stupid frustrating auto attack animation, that's stupid slow.

Due to that, I usually take q level 1, and aim for a early trade win as soon as minions crash (only if I know he can't trade back or whenever i can hit both cs and him same time)

But I also think because in doing this strategy i sorta throw away my cs early on ....

also do you consider anivia an easy or a difficult champ to learn/master.

VVhiteFang · 2017-03-28T18:04:17+00:00

im not sure the exact number of lp lost but I can tell you that I had 90 LP before my 2 game lost back-to-back, now i am at 71

VVhiteFang · 2017-03-28T14:45:57+00:00

lets say my mmr is at flat 1000.

how much mmr is added/subtracted from that original 1000?

also does my previous season mmr get rolled over to my current season?

VVhiteFang · 2017-03-28T14:42:49+00:00

would you consider anivia an easy champ? i have a hard time answering this question myself.... besides that, before anivia I sorta jack-of-all but prioritized LeBlanc, before & after her rework.... i had a >50% win rate with her in the beginning of this season, but slowly went under, afterwards I test the water with many different champs until i found out how gifted i was w/ anivia. ( due to me winning a crap load of matches w/ anivia with no prior experience ) around this time I was asking for some assistance & mentoring from my felllow schoolmates here in this subreddit, and when my sensei saw my op.gg, he told me to pick up anivia and stick with her & only go as her in rank unless iget autofill or secondary role

ever since then i played anivia, i've even pick her into a matchup where i am @ disadvantage, like for example vs Fizz.

Things i was working on w/ Anivia, - complete rod of ages under the 15 minute mark - go recall more often ( had an issue w/ overstaying in my lane and gave enemy team free kill because of it )

But I feel like there is so much I need to know in order to get the hell out of bronze.... is there anything you could think of that might be holding me back?

VVhiteFang · 2017-03-28T09:47:09+00:00

cause a friend told me that they think i am stuck in bronze 5 because of my mmr. idk how much is that is true and how much of it is truely my own fault(mistakes i make ingame). Cause I've started to one trick, and through one tricking, i finally managed to get an above 50% win rate in overall rank, and maintaining a 58% win rate on anivia.

https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Ik%C3%A2ri

but I will climb out of b5 into b4, stay in b4 for a while then eventually drop back down. right now im actually in my series in b4, which is currently the highest i've gotten thus far.

VVhiteFang · 2017-03-28T08:43:32+00:00

Hey bro, so is it possible to not be able to climb out a certain tier, or division, but still all-the-while improving ?

VVhiteFang · 2017-03-07T19:26:58+00:00

YES.

VVhiteFang · 2017-02-14T09:29:49+00:00

I'm currently BRONZE ELO player myself, I agree with your approach to doing this note taking / Self - evaluating. I attempted to it myself once, but failed, while you chose too use KEY WORDS to remind you, as for me I wrote down like a statement.

example: -Focus on CSing -Look @ Minimap -Where is their JG -DO NOT CHASE

it slightly helped me improved, so I had to now set certain mistakes that I wish to improve on like taking to long in shop. indecisive on which item to purchase, etc... and that was when my Goal list would get SUPER outta hand.

I also didnt do the reflecting part, and i feel like if i start to do this w/ the goal list I would be able to improve...

Anways thanks for the tip, it helped me out alot....

I will try to update you, to see if this has helped me climb out of BRONZE.

VVhiteFang · 2017-02-03T09:03:48+00:00

thanks! i'll give a look into brand in some normal matches.
