Slow + AAs guarantees you damage and the slow increases in rank. Damage increases in rank too. Couple that with carries being naturally slow anyway and you can pump out some damage just from AAs. If I had a dollar for every time Double hit a creep to the side instead of the champ behind the initial target I'd throw a $400,000 crack party and invite everyone in this thread.

Its still situational though. Mostly just a nightmare for Cait and Kog since the other carries can do dumb **** to get out of it.

edit: @wave, I tried Anivia during free week and always did well. Just need to farm up IP to buy her. Pretty slow for a bird though.
Make sure you get strawberry crack. I love strawberry.

Also, have you tried using Malz? He can clear waves fairly nicely.

can't cait just net out of make it rain
That makes no sense MacD stop it.

Don't worry, boots help Anivia... run faster?

But seriously, everyone is always slowed when you're playing Anivia. I once ran away from a Jax chasing me all the way from their third bot turret to our third mid turret, even with his bull**** jump going over my walls.

35% slow for up to 310 damage doesn't sound tiny to me. You're pretty much guarenteed ~75% of that damage if you're good at aiming and they don't have bullcrap blinks like Graves or Ezreal.
I think this is assuming you put the front of the circle where they stand and they just run backwards because they are ********. I mean i see a lot of people doing that with brand mid and thats why I usually win with annie mid because I will just move forward and Q -> W you while you missed your Pillar of flame (I think I have only loss to one brand)

I just wouldn't trust leveling make it rain before anything else in my Kit.

I can still somewhat see what you are saying here but seeing as your double up seems to never hit I would probably go that route also. lol

I just make it so double up hits though. Like I won't use it until there is only like 2 minions left and then its guaranteed to hit one of the champs behind (assuming they are standing close enough)

that and I will make it rain over them and then as they are running out double up on the last minion which usually hits them also.

So what I'm understanding here, MF is sleeper OP!?
...as soon as they nerf Graves.

Also, yay! Cait was on sale and now I finally own her! My quest to learn AD Carries is coming to fruition...as soon as I buy more RP and get Graves + Vayne.

Whenever I play MF, I run AS runes and max Impure shot. I think my skill order is, W-Q-E(just for utility)-W-W and you get the picture.
To be more specific on my rune page I run ArmorPen Quints, AS Reds, Armor Yellows, CD Blues (probably turn CD blues to something else but I didn't find Magic Resist, esp not in bot lane).

Zac, now that you know that Graves' smokescreen deals damage, do you still prefer maxing quickdraw over it?

He is incredibly dominant in early game, so wouldn't maxing screen second (or at least sharing levels w/ quickdraw) make him that much more potent in laning phase?

compared to having shorter CD and higher AS on his Dash/Steroid? You ****ting me? Quick Draw is a no brainer, you don't wanna be fighting at level 13 with only level 1 Quick Draw.

Lol, I guess that's true. I don't play DPS so I tend to max out burst/utility on all my champs first D:

Nah, it was just a question. He gets more utility and upfront damage, but by that point he'll probably have at least a BF sword so the damage from AS steroid would be better.

Play Jarman and you get burst/utility at the same time as DPS, LOL.

But seriously, you'll burst harder with that extra AS and have more utility by being able to dash more. You're basically pissing away your midgame DPS and mobility for slightly higher damage nuke for the VERY end of the laning phase.

Laning phase also tends to be a bit longer up top, which is generally the only place I lane, and you get those levels quicker since it's solo exp >_>

Some people still don't think Graves is ridiculous, haha.

I jungle mostly for ladder, but if I have to lane I take top.

I rarely play support but if I have to I go more utility/damage support (Jarvan, Cho, Ali, Janna) than sustain, b/c it's more fun.

On my smurf I think I've only played 2 champions, Udyr and Tristana.
BTW Juan need to pick your brain for Trundle tips. (Like typical builds, Rune page and why you run x runes, and Mastery Tree). I've been trying to pick him up so I can have a strong 4th jungler.

Probably be on my smurf more than my main in the upcoming weeks so if you don't already have me added, add Budreaux.

Banning Talon is such a waste now. Those base stat nerfs were really all he needed and now he gets kinda ****ed in most lanes (IMO).
Really? I still don't like the fact his ability set is: Flash at you (not SS flash), silence, ult, rake. THEN his opponent gets a chance to attack him.

Real :(

Talon is a lot less dominant up top, but that's not to say that he's bad right now.

I can give you Trundle pointers today no problem, for both top and jungle.

Zac likes afk farming so Nasus might not be a terrible idea, but he also likes skillshots, so I'll have to thin about a good recommendation (unless he just wants to play Lee Singer top).

Singed has counters?
teemo, vayne, pantheon, cait, kennen, j4, renekton, riven (basically anyone with real burst/real poke early in lane).

he also loses in spirit to nasus and irelia because they're both bigger problems when free farmed and singed can't do jack **** to stop them from farming if they choose to spec like not an idiot.
