Annie needs the same treatment Veigar received.

Title. Annie's Ultimate needs a similar manner of being predicted, especially considering all her damaging spells can proc a reasonably powerful stun that isn't readable because her ultimate activates on target location instantly, same for her W.

Veigars stun wasn't readable. It was instant and game changing, and unhealthy to game balance. Neither is Annie's stun on her ultimate.

Simple fix?

Like in 'A Twist of Fate' cinematic, Annie would THROW Tibbers, and midway he would explode into his 'other' form, that of a..Giant, murderous living teddy-bear that was the essence of death, fuck you, and fire.

So uh.

Make Annie's R have a throw implemented into it, rather than a magical bear-cultist summoning act of instantaneous nature.

See? How hard would it be to implement a .75 throwing animation? To balance the champion?

_.75 cast time. _

Annie Throws Tibbers, who midway grows into his 'fuck everything' form, and lands at target destination doing a large amount of magic damage to anything in his AoE. Over time, being near Tibbers burns you for X amount of magic damage.

Fixed.

I don't think you even understand what was done to Veigar due to this post, and if you do... you just have blind hatred for Annie. What was done to Veigar was a 30% finished overhaul launched immediately when he threatened Riot's forced botlane team composition. Veigar was cut open, relieved of the ability he relied on to have his kit function, then stitched back together with stupid superficial buffs to his Q. You should instead wish for a complete rework, not the botched bullshit riot pulled with Veigar.

When anticipation isn't respected as counterplay, bad things happen. What happens when everyone feels entitled to the ability to dodge everything?

Mobility gets better. Twitch reflex gets better. You know, those things that Riot is pushing in League as a spectator sport, but many of us realize make the game less... fun.

Ypu know that the only thing that changes is the order of the spells. She would Flash+W (you are stunned) and throw teh R in between so tibbers would land right after her W, the only thing that is different is that now you got one less tick of tibbers burn, you are still dead. And since most animations can be canceled with flash you still won't see what happened to you.
