There are certain champions that truly show their full potential in League of Legends’ URF mode, and Anivia is one of them. In a clip posted to Reddit by user bcotrim, an Anivia player accumulated at least five waves of minions under one of their mid lane towers by using the Cryophoenix’s ability Crystallize (W), and then releasing them altogether to take down the enemy base.  In normal games, Anivia’s wall lasts for only a short while before melting, which prevents the creation of near-permanent walls in the game.
