Annie's stun has no counterplay, needs to be reworked or removed

Targeted stuns/silences have been removed from every caster/assassin for "lack of counterplay" so now it's Annie's turn to drive the final nail in the coffin. Sorry girl - your stuns are too reliable to guarantee ganks and get kills roaming. RIP.

Honestly, Annie's in a weird spot but in a good way. True, targetted CC "has no counterplay" in some situations, but Annie is a an exception for the most part. She has a pretty short range compared to the likes of Orianna or Ahri or Xerath, unless she can hit someone with the very edge of a Tibbers-ult and stun them. Unless they increase her range/rework her, which I think is unlikely, she needs that stun.

Do note that it's not unheard of to go AP Bruiser Annie since she has such high base damage and ap ratios she can build ap tank items and still deal a lot of damage. Her range on abilities are bigger than most adc's attack range, so it's not that short.

Lissanda Ult AP Blitz Not targeted AP Amumu Not targeted Malz Ult (interruptable) Chogath Not targeted Kennen* Not targeted AP Malphite Not targeted Orianna Not targeted AP Poppy* AP melee Bruiser, indirect cc AP Sej Not targeted Syndra Not targeted AP tristana No targeted stun/silence, ult hardly "cc" Vel'koz Not targeted Xerath Not targeted Zyra Not targeted

None except liss, which is an ult, has a reliable, low cd, stun/silence. Try again.

Aww. I didnt see you ment targeted abilities sorry, but i find having no targeted abilities better to single out stealth champions and people hiding in bushes. Sometimes having point and click champions limits you.

Doesn't matter with any point and click champions or skill shots. If you're caught your dead with any of those champs i listed.

You do realize that Annie's stun ins't as easy as say Tarics right? She has to prime it first by using 4 or 5 spells, then she can finally use it. Not that over powered

This is so wrong syndra can do way more damage with her ult and doesnt even need her stun for her combo. Her range is bigger than Annie's and her click ult is broken as hell lmfao.

The steady nerfing of targeted CC is part of the reason why super-mobile champions are OP in the first place. Targeted CC is the only reliable way to lock them down.
