I played a lot of Anivia midlane in Season 4 and 5 but moved recently to the support role. I think Anivia can be a classic ap support like Brand or Annie.
So after playing something like 30 games Anivia support after 2 years, I accumulated some skill to pull an S rank frequently. So I will give my 50 cents to this guide ;)
Anivia is good in aggresive lanes and can be somewhat good in a stall lane (as always, there might be better supporters).
I would recommend to skill Q and E more equal because the lower Q cooldown can become handy.
I chose different items:
Coin, 3xpots and ward totem are my stadard start. Coin gives you some mana back and tons of gold. You are a poor supporter so take everything you can get.
After that I usually go for Boots and Sightstone or if the enemy laners were stompt, I try to rush Rod of Ages. I will discribe why later.
Now you can sell Coin and go for Eye of the Watchers for some more ap and wards (+ one free slot)
After that I usually go for Liandrys and Hourglass or Solari.
Supporters are the poorest champs in LoL. So you need to hit a pretty high gold efficency with your items. Also I don't think Tear is a good item, because Anivia doesn't have any cheap abilities to stack Tear fast like Ezreal...
Instead of penetration boots I would suggest to pick defesive boots like Ninja Tabis to get rid of the squshiness of Anivia.
I would definitly go for an early Rod because it gives you a perfect balance between hp, mana, and ap.
I haven't tried Hextexh GLP, but the freeze effect of GLP doesn't apply to your E so I thought it would be kind of useless and I don't think a dash is something Anivia benefits from.
I would never ever recommend a utility Anivia. To reduce Anivia to her W is not going to make you learn play her. Go the aggressiv build and watch one or two Anivia midlane videos.

Enemy team has 4 summoner spells that can be used in fights. Your team has 3 summoner spells that can be used in fights. 4>3. You will most likely lose in a pre lvl 6 fight.
Now about
You have an AOE stunt, a Terrain ability and a nuke (if frozen). You unlock your main combo lvl 2 with Q+E (stunt+nuke). At lvl 3 you add a displacer. Anivia base damage is good, you can get a cheesy kill lvl 2-3 with

Summing up: Get
The idea is good, but you need to improve the build and summoner spells. Trust me, you will win more with this items. At least try it out one game, you wont lose anything. Good luck.
TP has worked well for me, because you often have some mana problems with Anivia in early game...
I think you are right!
Ignite + Frost Queen's can be very good for an aggressive lane. If you want to play more defensive
I'd recommend Teleport + Eye of the Watchers ...
I guess it depends on the matchup :-) but basically you are totally right and I think I will try playing Anivia Supp more aggressively with Ignite.
I'll change it in the guide! Thanks again :-)
