Annie is extremely difficult to play and underpowered

IllllllIIIIlllll··10 votes·2,003 views

Hi, everyone, 450 mmr garen main here; with over 250 games played, I've gotten reasonably good at him, including learning some advanced techniques such as using his ultimate to execute and using his e to deal damage. Sometimes, I'm even able to execute the enormously difficult Q -> W -> E -> R combo, but mastering that will take some time yet.

Today, I tried annie for the first time, and even for a highly skilled player like me, she is way too difficult. I fail to comprehend how even the most skilled of professionals are able to use her. Her kit is almost completely useless. Let's take a look:

Q - Deals damage and refunds mana and halves cooldown if you kill a unit. Analysis: wow gee so useful i never bother killing minions anyway because i last hit champions like a true pro

W - Deals damage in a cone shaped area Analysis: half of annies damage comes from a literally impossible to hit skillshot like wtf

E - Increases armor and magic resist Analysis: u win game by killing enemy champion. u know what kill enemy champion? yeah, damage. wow gee thanks for a worthless ZERO DAMAGE skill, riot

R - Summons tibbers Analysis: include not one, but TWO skillshots into Annie's kit? and you also have to control the bear?? ugh its ridiculous how much skill annie takes

please make annie easier, so we garen mains are able to play her. thanks

I don't get why people are downvoting this. The sarcasm is hilarious, and frankly Annie is broken AF so he's correct too.

Hate to break it to you bud but every champion has their own set of skill requirements there is no such thing as a champion that takes no skill. Do I think annie is annoying sure do I think she takes no skill absolutely not.

I agree, it took me 20 years just to learn how to aim my Q

Want to know something funny about annies e and a twitch? Twitch came out of cloak with his ult and died when he AA me once.

Also I'm dying of laughter about everything you said she is a hard champ to play. I can be half asleep while playing her and I go like 12/1 in lane.

Oh the joys of comparing a garen to annie XD!

But yeah annie so hard. She does not do enough AD damage. Buff her pls GGGG.

tbh i don't think there's anything riot can do, she will just lose her identity as a mechanically intensive champion if they change her like that

i guess noobs like me have to stick to braindead champs like draven and syndra
