Annie is in a hella bad spot right now
Annie feels so awkward to play. Everyone now seems to either have decently ranged abilities or have some sort of mobility spell. Annie, however, is super immobile and kind of slow and can't really engage without flash
The argument against Annie used to be that "oh but she can 100-0 someone so mobility/range will be broken on her", but tbh there are so many champions that can 100-0 someone now that's it doesn't really matter. Even more, Annie can't kill someone if any of her spells are missed/mitigated. That means that if they have
,
, any kind of spellshield, or even
, Annie will use her entire rotation and still not kill them.
A 10/0 Annie will have far less potential than even a 3/0
, etc. She uses all her spell on one or two people, and that's about it.
Annie's E is a spell that I rarely use properly on her, and it's something that I've seen as pretty consistent across all Annies, and although decent on paper, its almost never used as a shield, and more of a let-me-hit-this-while-my-q-is-in-midair-to-get-a-stun. I used to OTP Annie because she was pretty fun, but now I rarely even consider playing her because of how weak she is.
