Statistical Matchup Analysis

Balanced meta clash: Annie (2.9%, 31st place out of 57 Mid champions) regularly faces Anivia (1.9%, 37th place). Both champions hold solid meta positions, making this matchup knowledge a direct path to climbing and improving your win rate. Surprising upset: Despite Annie's higher tier rating, Anivia wins 50.2% of encounters. This suggests Anivia's kit specifically counters Annie's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Axiom Arcanist + Celerity combination (65.6% win rate) plus optimal itemization Malignance, Stormsurge, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 49.8% to 62.7% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Annie's superior farming (6.70 vs 6.59/min, 28th among Mid) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.11 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Annie outputs more damage (746 vs 699/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Anivia: leads in both matchup win rate (50.2%) and KDA (2.70 vs 2.20, 6th vs 39th place). Annie players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

Annie tips:

  • Storing a stun for use with her ultimate can turn the tide of a team fight.
  • Striking killing blows on minions with Disintegrate enables Annie to farm extremely well early in the game.
  • Molten Shield is a good spell to cast to work up to Annie's stun, so sometimes it's beneficial to grab at least 1 rank in it early.

Playing Against Anivia

  • Try to gank Anivia when she's laning. With multiple people, it is easier to ensure that her egg dies.
  • If you're playing a ranged champion, stay far enough away from Anivia so you can dodge Flash Frost more easily.
  • Try to fight Anivia in the lanes. In the jungle she can block pathways with lower ranks of Crystallize.
