The fact that she can have her passive up indefinitely is bad design. It's the same problem Twisted Fate had.
Either make her lose her stun stacks over time, or make her lose the stun after several seconds.
Sure. One of the lowest spell ranged champs with slow movement speed and no dash... Let's gut her CC so that everyone can always just hit her and walk away.
if you do this she is going to need a buff of some kind, likely a range buff since its so easy to zone annie.
historically annie has ALWAYS been a champ that have received compensation buffs for her nerfs. this is because she has equal weaknesses to go with her strengths. she is a very balanced champ.
What irks me is that she says lets count to 5. It used to be 5 cast to activate her stun and now it is 4 and she still has that quote.
I wouldn't mind changing it back to 5 even though that 1 cast could be the difference of life and death in a team fight.
While I'd rather her lose instant Tibbers too, making her lose stacks over time would probably be a better place to start.
Not that opposed to this change actually, usually violently against Annie reform. However this change makes sense, especially if it will make the people crying for a delay on tibbers to shut the fuck up.
What would be the point? Even with a tick-down on the stun stacks, an Annie that is rotating her spells fluidly would still be able to pull off multiple stuns in a fight. It just sounds like you want Annie ganks by charging stun then roaming to other lanes to go away, which would take ALL of her ganking capacity away.
Gets rekt by 450 IP champ, creates better nerf thread. Sounds legit.
If you do this then she'll never see any play since she can't initiate anymore.
