Annie new concept GIVE IT A CHANCE
Five minutes ago, i was watching at "League of Legends Cinematic: A Twist of Fate" video from riot. Then I seen that big scary bear that Annie invocate. The first thing I realize was that Annie bear in the game isn't scary at all. Then I questioned myself about the pertinence of Annie bear, he deal a burst of damage, he deal some damage over time, that can be really useful ! (To finish off someone which already had been ignited.) After all, Annie bear is only a engage skill which is most of the time combine with a flash (d for flash). So, she's pretty simple, you build full ap you flash in and hit your keyboard with your head then destroy the backline ! Isn't it amazing. Well to be honest it is. But i think there's more to do with her.
A scary big bear ! Doesn't he look like a tanky friend which can stay in the combat without dying, yeah, I talk about his health, I think he should be more tanky and made to protect Annie. This could give a chance to Annie to be a more complex champion which have more mechanic. I imagine Annie at bot lane, as a APC with something like a magic pen passive scaled on her level. And what about her E ? It could be really useful against a adc but as much as i know, for the time that Annie live in a fight is way too short to efficiently use her E. Well you can build her tank and wait for the enemy team to maybe attack you, I say maybe because you're now a tank, without enough ap to burn the s* out of them ! Well anyway, she doesn't look like a tank. This little girl could be the first real APC that can replace the potential of a antitank ADC.
My idea,
New passive: 10 % of her spell damage for each cast is dealt by ignoring any magic resist.
Her Q: I see her with a Q cooldown similar to karthus Q. But with decreased damage (here we go Archangel's Staff (An item that isn't use enough))
Her W: Same spell in overall but it could make Annie dash in the opposite direction (like Caitlyn E) and more spell range. It would make a disengage that is really useful on a squishy carry.
Her E: Pretty much the same ! It's a really good spell against an adc.
Her R: Visual rework of the bear please, something that is imposing and darker. Bear HP scaled on Annie ap. His sun fire cape effect could be more powerful ( to make him important to kill. When her bear die, Annie is so sad that she become silenced for 3 second of weakness. Also, if that's not enough, killing the bear could give a buff to the killer, like a 30-40-50 (based on bear level) damage burn over 2 second for each basic or damaging spell dealt by the owner.
What about her stunt ? I think Annie stunt is a must have for any rework idea I could've imagine.
Here's my proposition,
Ultimate Passive: After casting 8 time her Q spell, Annie get empowered by her desire to kill and she gain the possibility to stunt the enemy for 2 second by using her W spell. ( In this situation, I can easily see Annie doing a R,W combo to engage or counter engage a team fight. After that, she began her Q spell casting party time while her Rylai's Crystal Scepter slow the ** out of everyone.
Nocturne on you did you say ? Well press W and run.
The positive things that I see by doing this rework:
A new concept idea for the incoming ADC rework. A more realistic image of Annie based on the image I think Riot want to give to her. Break the meta boys !!! A diversification of the bot lane (there's actually 3 adc in this game, vayne, jinx, ezreal. Making a "head hitting keyboard champion" more complex and interesting to play. Influencing team fight objective depending on the enemy team.
I think that's all, there's maybe more but writhing this at 4 am gave me an headache.
I hope that Riot will consider this idea ! If you liked this concept or if you have new idea about it and want to share it, write it down in the comment section with a cote and i'll take a look !
Good night, Darkenge
