Complaint about Annie
Now, i'm not gonna try and say Annie is OP or anything cause I don't believe she is, my complaint is about her being a "support"
Now, i'm perfectly fine with Annie being able to keep her stun up in mid lane I think it's a good thing she has that zoning potential so she can't be jumped on the second someone sees her use a spell.
I hate an issue with her being able to hold a stun with a point and click large range skill that also works with 2 AoE nuke spells, I don't like adc's but even I know it must be a pain in the ass being zoned out of your cs from an stun you can't dodge.
There's counterplay to that shit mid lane, where people are bursty early on and typically have kits to deal with that kind of thing.
I Know she has people like morgana (who's actually another mage that's annoying to see bot lane) who she's kinda weaker against but the point still remains. A "support" Shouldn't be able to zone you out of all your cs while also being able to 100-0 you with very little ap. That's just now how things need to work.
My proposal for her would be to just give her stun a time limit system. After casting 4 spells Annie charges a stun. If Annie doesn't use a skill within X amount of seconds she loses a charge every X amount of seconds.
To make it less confusing let's put numbers in it. If Annie doesn't use a skill within 10 seconds she starts losing a charge every 5 seconds.
This still gives her a huge amount of zoning time as well as allows her to keep her stun up for a very long time.
Mid lane Annie normally farms with Q and gets a mana refund. So constantly using that to keep charges up before it runs out of time won't be an issue and won't change mid lane annie at all.
"Support" Annie normally doesn't cs so she can't get that refund on mana. This would make her actually have to use spells costing her mana so she can't just sit at 100 mp with a 1+ second stun and then R Q W Ignite the second you come in to cs and leave the scraps for their adc if you didn't somehow make it out which you'd end up using both summoners.
Changes i'm proposing doesn't hurt mid lane annie (if anything mid laners would love this change) and it doesn't really hurt Annie in general. It just tones down her early game zoning ability in bot lane.
PS I also play annie sometimes so no, i'm not butthurt
