Annie is balanced

It's your fault that you hug each other when annie does a 5 man ult. She's perfectly fine as she is. Her stun doesn't last forever and she can't last hit reliably with just autos.

Yep it's totally fair for annie to be able hold onto that stun swirly for as long as she wants.

So can other champions. any champion can hold on to their stun.

There's not a lot of low cooldown point and click stuns on other burst mages, but keep telling yourself a story if you like.

REALLY, so because she can't last hit reliably like 20 other mages she gets completely refund on her Q. And everything else

KhoulJul 30, 20151 votes

well yeah, she can't use the stun forever. there's tons of opportuinities to cheese annie. it ain't hard, you are overreacting

What kind of argument is "you can't use the stun forever"? Like, what? NOBODY CAN!

Annie can't last hit with her autos? Then please tell me how in the world does Leblanc , Viktor , Orianna , etc. farm? Sure, you can make the argument that they can use their abilities, but before these champions can afford a mana regeneration item, each spell cost 1/6 of their mana pool or more. Even if they use one AOE spell per wave, they will be OOM before level 6.

Annie is an outlier in the sense that she has an ability to help her farm, after all, she is meant to be a beginner champion.

Annie is undeniably powerful. Her abnormally high win rate in all ELOs and frequent use in competitive play are testaments to that. She counters melee assassins because she can stun them whenever they get close, and she can 100-0 AP mages with flash-R-Q-W.

I thought the title was gonna be sarcastic... one more downvote from me, not just because I disagree, but because the OP's reasoning is so poor.

You know in EU Lissandra is (really) not considered good cause player know how to handle this kind of CC. But for no reason in NA Annie Stun and Lissandra Ultimate are "problematic". Of course she is balanced :).

It's cute that you think European players are better than American players...

Xotraz le sageJul 31, 20151 votes

One difference don't make a region superior to another. World did MonkeyKing (just joking :) )

AtheosisXJul 31, 20151 votes

I know for a fact that many European players have issues with Annie while simultaneously many American players can handle Annie fine outside the occasional flash into a 100-0 combo (no one has a counter to that outside of building MR and hoping you survive the burst). So basically you are posting nonsense.

Sarcastic thread claiming Annie is OP on EUW Board -> -4 This one claiming she is balanced -> -19

Err...the fact that you are posting here and can vote on this thread should tell you how little this means.

I will not say that Annie is unbalanced, although she is quite strange as a champion because she has both slightly underwhelming and overwhelming aspects to her kit (such as short range vs. instant-stun). However, if you are on the argument that she is balanced, I would use better reasoning. Indeed, the team opposing Annie should watch for a group stun with Tibbers, but this is not the only thing people complain about when it comes to Annie (although it is highly focused). I am not quite sure what you mean by her stun not lasting forever, as technically no one's does. And she does not need to last hit with auto-attacks due to her Q. Once again, I am not arguing against Annie being perhaps balanced, maybe on the border of overpowered, but your reasoning is just not good.
