How Is Annie Fair At All

I honestly don't get why she is allowed to continue to be such a broken champion, she can single handedly 1 shot some with just a needlesly large rod and then offer no counter play for most the game cause of how stupid her damage is at all points of the game.

Why does a champion with stupidly high base damages also need to have stupid scaling aswell?

There is literally no counter play to her once she hits 6, cause when he does your dead, no chance to flash, dash or anything as you get insta bursted.

Also why is she allowed to perma farm and perma use her Q as it refreshes her mana and half the CD on something that is already on a 4 second CD, please can we add some god dam, counter play to her so you at least get the chance to vs her instead of being stuck at don't go near here or you die instantly.

The only thing that I would accept to change is her is the instacast with Tibbers. Have it charge or be tossed in the air.

Otherwise touching anything else would make her crappy. Plus she counters Marksman hard. Her E is a much better thornmail. And her stun counters Mobility like Kalista, Yasuo, Kindred, Ahri, so on.

Counterplay doesn't just exist in mechanical twitch reflex level like what Riot is making people believe.

That and, kill her early. A burst mage is gonna do some serious damage when they're fed, it's just how it is, but most of them don't have mobility and have more or less situational CC.

I don't really see Annie thesedays, and I don't main her or anything so I might be missing a few things or stating a few things wrong here and there. But in general I don't think she is broken, just very 1 dimensional and annoying I suppose.

Any long range poke mage dumpsters her in lane.

She is pretty strong, but she does have some good counters. If you get her behind, she can't combo someone to death and then just dies.

Xerath E W Q Passive Repeat x3 Annie has been slain. Lux Q E Autoattack item 2041 Repeat x3 Annie has been slain. Out Range Her = Counterplay.

Want a 3 shot always up mage to get mad at? Orianna exists.

I think people hate her because no one plays her counters. They play her counters counters, which she counters.

Counterception!

Tongue Twister(but not one that twists tongues, more like one that twists minds LOL): Counters counter counters by hard countering the counter of the countered counters that counter counters of hard counters to countered counters.

You want to know how to counter annie? Stay out of her damn range, if everyone is gathering around a tf don't f*cking charge with her around because she WILL stun you and she WILL kill you, either make her waste her stun and you will have small window to go all-out on her.
