Anivia

Anivia is an AP mage in the top, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a strong pick — a 53.1% win rate, 1.1% pick rate, 12,261 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Anivia is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.

How Anivia wins: grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Anivia tips the fight, and winning the wave and turning push priority into map control. The kit grades 9/10 teamfighting, 9/10 waveclear, 9/10 disengage. Play around where Anivia is thin, engage and roaming (3/10, 2/10), and the enemy loses their angle.

The most-played core build is Rod of Ages, Archangel's Staff, Liandry's Torment, which holds a 56.4% win rate across 1,204 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.

The matchup to respect is Rell, where Anivia sits at just 43.9%, the lane swings the other way into K'Sante (58.0%), and on the team side, Anivia gains the most from a Kassadin (+9.9% pair win rate).
