Let's talk about Annie.
With all these recent balance changes to champion abilities and reworks, looking back at Annie, her passive is a little too old and strong for a burst champion. Lets look waaay back at what happened to these champs: 
These burst champs had their silences removed entirely. Makes me think... reduce her stun duration? Or possibly revisit it as a whole? I was thinking of something like Vladmir's changes at first and thought to have your stacks fall off if you don't use it, but we don't want it to feel too similar to him. Maybe a short duration fear instead? Something to make the passive less... boring? Right now you can stack your passive and just sit there with a stun ready to delete you if you get too close or use a point click ability to stun you for her jungler. Also, it feels like her E is just there to stack it up or to juke that one extra stack and pull your stun off.
I've been thinking about this for years. Time to finally put this idea out there.
Playing with Fire (Passive) Hitting enemy champions with different spells stacks "panic" on them. At 3 stacks the enemy will become panicked and run around in circles for 1.5 seconds [OMG IM ON FIRE!!! AAAAHH!!] while taking small damage per second. All stacks of panic are removed when the enemy hasn't been hit by your spells for 6 seconds. (30 second cooldown)
Pyroball (Q) Cost: Range:
Annie throws a fireball at target area dealing damage.
Scorch (W) Cost: Range:
Annie burns enemies in an area in front of her. Mana is refunded based on enemies killed.
Fire Twirl (E) Cost: Range:
Annie casts a ring of swirling fire around herself or enemy. Targeting herself reduces damage taken and burns enemies who attack you, while around target enemy it deals damage per second. Fire Twirl is also casted on "Tibbers, The Shadow Bear" if you use it on yourself. [Only applies 1 stack of "Panic" per cast]
Tibbers, The Shadow Bear (R) Cost: Range:
Annie tosses her doll at target location expanding to Tibbers full size damaging and fearing any enemies nearby. Tibbers leaves a trail of fire behind him dealing small damage per second to enemies who stand on it. (You still control him the same.)
Maybe even make Tibbers attack while on all fours like in the CGI-short A Twist of Fate. Possibly make it to out of combat he could walk around like he does currently. Just ideas being thrown out there.
Let me know what you think. Riot has a lot of older champions they are reworking currently and we, as a community, can help them out. Just throw some ideas out there. Who knows what they'll take into consideration? You never know if you don't try. Some concepts make it and some don't. Just posting this to try and see our little pyro lady a little more fun to play someday. Maybe even get that teenage Annie I've seen around. XD
