Suggestion: Change Annie's q to untargeted skill shot
I propose changing Annie's q to a skill shot to resolve the following two problems with Annie:
-
As a short-ranged, low-hp mage with a targeted spell as the main tool for poking, minion aggro can be really strong. I often end up receiving far more damage than I had poked for, making the trade ineffective. If you q stun, then stay for an AA and w, you will eat 200+ minion damage at level 2 the longer you stay, which is a quarter of her health. Add retaliation from the enemy and you've just lost 50-75% health when they lost 30-40%. The minion aggro is also very stubborn to cancel. Minions will often chase past your minions just to keep hitting you a little bit longer! I try to make use of molten shield and my first back to contain cloth armor to help counteract this, but these are not very effective solutions.

Her q literally disappears in mid-flight when she dies after casting it. I have witnessed many times and still do. It's more of a problem when I am in a super close 1v1, I hit q, I die, q vanishes, and my target walks away with 1 hp. The sound of it traveling stops, the sound of it landing never comes, and the target does not take any damage. Its a rare situation, but its very disappointing when it does and I feel cheated.
If her q was a skill shot, it will make her a little more fresh and fun to play, and fix these two glaring issues.
