out of the 100+ champions in the game Annie is the one your afraid of. then just ban her every game.

She's been overtly and covertly nerfed recently already.

She's perfectly fine, doesn't need any nerfs. Why the hell are you complaining about her when Yasuo, Zed, and others are more of a problem?

Michael SykesAug 4, 20163 votes

Actually she is a bigger problem than Zed if you look at the statistics. Highest winrate on the midlane right now with a decent playrate. Yasuo is only a problem because of his bruiser build.

And what does winrate have to do with her balance? She's quite fine.

Michael SykesAug 4, 20161 votes

well, she might offer counterplay and she has some counterpicks, but a winrate of 54% means that she is stronger than she should be. Good for a champion with a low skillcap would be 52%. And she had that winrate before. Maybe it is going down the next patch, but the balancing team should keep an eye on her. As she is not an issue in competitive play, I am pretty sure she won't get any changes before 6.19

She's not getting any changes, period. Amumu sat at 54% win rate for a long time, he's at 53% now, do you see him getting any nerfs or any talk about nerfs? No.

If Riot saw she was being too much they would've done it already especially not long after her MYMU changes. They like how she is right now and that won't change. The only way she would get anything was if she was like Sona who was at like 58% after her small changes.

good point.

But both Amumu and Annie have high impact ultimates which can change a whole teamfight if placed well. Since they are not very hard champions, they have such high winrates in medium to high elo (the stats are from Plat+) even for players with not many games om them. I don't think one of them is going to get changes, but if they stay this high or increase, smaller changes would be an option

Annie is one that is better made for newer players, her kit is simple. Sure her burst is high, that's what she is, a burst mage. For people who know how to play her well, like me, can win a lot because of it, but there are still a lot that don't. For example I had a ranked game the other day where a supposedly "Annie main" took her top lane, against GAREN, and preceded to feed all game. I don't think she even knew that Tibbers could stun because she never hit one ult stun on ANYONE, and when I told her to get Rod of Ages, after she rushed a Zhonyas for a first item, she went Rylai's instead. So not all Annie players are good, and of course that game didn't factor into Annie's overall winrate because we lost (my boyfriend went AFK for a bit so trying to hold a 4 v 5 with a feeding team was a sure loss).

Anyhow, you can ask for changes, any size of them, but they won't work. Riot likes how she is and that won't change.

I am not asking for changes, I just do comment and try to analyze annies state instead of just downvoting that post. And you do the same when you discuss that topic which is good :D

they have nerfed her pretty hard........tibbers no longer applies an immediate stun (passive proc) upon cast and the same applies to her w. Those nerfs were key to making her weaker.
