I don't want to play because it's not fun...

Champions over the past seasons have been changed to allow counterplay, for example 's and silence were removed along with many others. Counterplay is what Riot is trying to pursue. Another example goes way back in time, 's ability to hold a card was changed. "Now has 8 seconds to lock the card and 4 seconds to throw it instead of 10 seconds to do both." However, another champion is able to do this for however long she pleases, i'm talking about . She seems innocent, but is in my opinion, the strongest champion in the game right now because lack of counterplay. I am diamond 2 in the solo queue ladder know my fair share of game knowledge. In my opinion, Annie's ratios need a bit of tweaking, Mid lane is able to stack her passive with Q with ease, and is a very low CD so there is no time to capitalize on it. After getting her passive stacked, she can just zone you from minion wave, and when you do go for a minon, Q W, and walk back and repeat. And if you happen to overextend once, her full combo one shots you. Flash 625 range seems a bit excessive for a mid laner with such burst, even on her auto attacks, higher than many marksman. All of her damaging spells have a ratio of .8 or higher. Now I know there is some flaws that she has. She is prone to hard engage, doesn't have an escape, but if she can stun multiple people who comes near her with ridiculous, whats the point? The problem is that her damage is reliable, whiffing ult rarely happens and when it connects it pays off big time. Changing her ratio's or reworking her passive is much needed in my opinion. Well there is my rant, maybe I have reached high diamond without learning how to outplay but there is my 2 cents.

625 range seems a bit excessive for a mid laner with such burst, even on her auto attacks, higher than many marksman.

Do note that 625 is also the max range of her spells. This puts her at a HUGE disadvantage mid lane, where long range spells are the name of the game. Its hard for her to zone someone when they can sit at a safe distance and continue to do their thing. Its why she opens up with Flashbang all the time. Its not because she wants to. Its because she HAS to. Which means the opponent has another 5 minutes of relative safety after its gone. The entire reason Support Annie became a thing, was because Annie was no longer able to cope with enemies like Xerath, Ziggs, Syndra, Orianna, etc.

They should just give her stun the same treatment they gave Twisted Fate's stun.

Annie's only strong because her counters are not. Buff long range mages back into viability or tone down annie's biggest counter: mobile assassins. Until then, hope mercs and mercurials are good enough to stop her.

Imo as a Silver dude myself:

Leblanc Talon : It's excessively toxic that this two gets to 100-0 a single enemy without having to retaliate due to their silence.

For the Annie , I suggest they would make her Q & ult skillshots, instead of just a simple point-&-click mechanics. Even Ryze & Yorick were reworked due to this kind of kit.

Maybe instead of nerfing annie, buff or give back power to other midlaners? Was LB with silence OP? Yeah she was, but then Annie wasn't as noticable for nerf candidate.

Just look at Lee or Zed. No matter how many threads starts with begging to nerf them, Riot done whole null. So imo instead of nerfing them to average champions level, just increase power of low-mid champions to theirs. It'll take shitton of time, i'm certian(lyT) of that, but.....

Annies ult is a skillshot you still need to aim it and as far as mages go annie has very low range of her abilities and no escape from a gank other than burning a stun or flash given that her huge powerspike is at 6 and her early game is kinda meh compared to mid and late sustaining throuugh her damage or just flat out outranging her can fix the problem as far as her passive goes it takes same serious predicting but you can dodge her ult when you get a sense for when she is going to do it you can preemptively react and cause her to waste it because by the time she uses it to stun you have left that spot already also keep in mind she has no mobility either someone who could work around this outrange her poke and sustain fairly well would be gragas brand outranges her as well malzahar can still silence her if i recall right and his e is good for tibbers and lane pushing Ahri Vladimir Lux Gragas

Annie is fine, all you whiners can seriously suck it. She has already been nerfed time and time again. The only nerf that should be possible is maybe hold a stun for less than 20 seconds, her range is lackluster when it comes to spells and she is easily countered. Get a grip, so sick of seeing these whiney biatches trying to get every char they can't play nerfed.
