Who is Poliko? The #1 Anivia cheats his matchups

[@DongHuaPan]

Thanks to PoroFessor for sponsoring this video! go.overwolf.com/porofessor/? I've been gone for a few weeks working on a very long documentary with a major name news outlet. That documentary will be dropping in the coming weeks.

[@mrwhatcanido4942]

awesome

[@rayaqin]

isn't porofessor cheating tho?

[@TheClanBlade]

The minion block wall trick is honestly so genius it almost feels like you're playing a different game. If anyone has ever played Dota2 then stuff like staggering creeps with both your abilities and hero is basic knowledge and feels so cool to see it in league.

[@Omen09]

in before they nerf it

[@Greedman456]

Dota 1mate, it all started with earthshaker back in 5.84 edition of Dota 1. We used to block up to three waves from coming and then they would all galop ahead together haha.

[@jeehoonoh]

Kudos to him for just sharing it for us since based on what he said in this video, it sounded like challenger players and pro players also had no idea why he did what he did.

[@sirkrodz]

Creepblocking is an essential basic skill on dota specially the wc3 one there are so many ways and cheese strats to pull the wave

[@TheClanBlade]

@@Greedman456 Yeh I'd never go for bounty runes at 1:00 and instantly run offlane and Q the creeps meaning teammates flame, but they made his wall mana costs so high It's basically never worth to go that strat unless you bring like two clairty potions.

It’s absolutely hysterical that Poliko wanted to play the champ with the most HP and then said “fuck it” and jumped to the one with the least

[@Bleshin]

@@starlazar699 Look out Poliko! after Star wins his silver games he's coming after your LP next!

[@humbertohernandez1536]

as a anivia main, thereis one more trick, u can in fact "unfreaze" allies lanes, by using wall (with 2 points on W) on second's turret and minions freaking lose their mind, it takes like 10-15 second to get to lane. and with full points on W u can stack 2 waves of minions on every lane ;)

[@MultiLightDark]

Honestly you've got to be a really calm person to consistently play anivia.

[@BioSoldier53]

[@xBox360BENUTZER]

Didn´t think about walling minions, I feel like that could easily make her viable in the pro scene and get her nerfed if people acutally picked that up.

[@cashbag]

Her biggest issue is her lack of mobility. Pro play requires constant movement and rotations so it is hard to draft Anivia.

[@홍재원-k2d]

[@marco744631]

@@cashbag theshy picked her top this split. it wasnt pretty but he did pick her

[@joshabrogena1240]

It's probably banned in pro

[@sladevalen]

She is my favorite champ and am a huge advocate for people to try her as a support. The wall really helps you catch out the enemy adc/support (whoever has less mobility) and either force early flashes or get destroyed in the trade after landing Q. Your passive is great in aggressive all ins early since you have 2 health bars and you have an adc to put pressure while you revive. Finally, having a Samira adc is the perfect pick to pair with Anivia since you proc her passive with her Q, have good kill pressure early to snowball, and your W plus her W make the lane very obnoxious to gank for the enemy jungler.

[@darkienl5886]

Anivia APC is surprisingly viable as well!

[@UmCaraNormalnumPlanetanormal]

[@laurynassimonaitis80]

True. Good players see her potential. I think nowadays majority are obsessed about assassins that make very cool looking highlights, like Yasuo, Zed and they wish to become just as good as pro players are :D But lets be real, there is no jaw dropping highlight on Anivia gameplay. Even gold 3 zed plays look more entertaining than Froggen's Anivia. I think that is why she is so unpopular. Same as Ryze, Skarner and some more

[@alliu6562]

I think something not mentioned that poliko does is he always waits to use his wall. Like unless he is actively predicting someone’s movement (in a chase, in a dash, etc), he does not use it. I think it’s also on smart cast? Or whatever the thing is called that lets you press and hold to show the ability indicator. It’s really fascinating to watch him play bc it feels like he’s so calm, even when he’s getting pentas and shit it’s wild

Anivia is an insane strong champ, trying to explain it for years, she just need 6 to be able to control her lane, but she is a beast at receiving enemies and thats anoying as hell. In a meta like actualy where teamfight are a big part of the game anivia should shine, but people just dont wanna play her, she isnt "shiny" enough for them its not a champ with explosive visual gameplay so they are not itnerested in her, which is dumb.

Great video! The only thing I am missing is how to approach the mythic choices. Most of his gameplay shows Everfrost, but one game he has Liandrys against Twitch and Zeri with only Zac as the tank. Also if tear is a must buy every game in his opinion, I have personally abandoned the item to get earlier spikes and solely rely on blue buffs and PoM.

[@vismvp]

Can't speak for him, but spamming Anivia I've found that you can play liandries into beefy comps, or against comps where there is no real "threat" of an assassin or something getting on top of you. Otherwise Everfrost is just really good consistently, lets you still land a cc for your ult + e if you miss the Q, and can keep people locked into your ult if you hit the q.
