Why does Annie hurt so much. It's like no matter where she goes she's always building full ap and once she gets a needlessly large rod she's just spam that freaking w and god forbids you happen to get caught in that tibbers stun. Thing shreds like half your health even if you building mr. She's crazy. Shit hurts.
injourn3 votesWhile I don't think she needs a nerf, I can see where you are coming from. The main problem is that her kit is too simple and hard to balance. She could go from good to crap in one patch and that sucks.
FistOfSharkiesha3 votesShe's just been nerfed like 2 patches ago... She's a glass cannon mage what did you expect? Tired of these QQ threads where people are like "what??? My glass cannon assassin that can 100-0 once I hit lvl 6 got killed by a mage??? nerf pls."
Build MR or HP, or abuse her lack of mobility.

I have no Idea what kind of Q your playing her against, or at what Elo. (I have hardly seen any mid lane annie.) But if your going against a midlaner with that Reliable of CC, Take Cleanse. It will help you escape her lock up.
Still her ratios are pretty high, sitting at 265% AP if you combined her ult Q and W in the spell rotation. Still I'd argue that her short range and lack of mobility makes up for her high up front damage.
Also Most Annie's I've seen usually Build RoA and her E provides Armor and MR so it's not really fair to call her Glass cannon.
Sona Ping1 votesIt's not really fair to call a champion, with those base stats, who gets a couple of Crystalline Bracers of flat health with no resistances from an item with that build path and cost "sturdy" either just because they can get a temporary cloth armor.
Sona Ping3 votesWhy wouldn't an AP mage build full AP? That's like saying it's a problem that Caitlyns keep building Infinity Edge
To the point: Annie does not need to be nerfed. In all actuality, Annie is not even that good a pick. She has a simple kit, she's immobile, and leaves things to be desired in both both utility and the wave clear that is so important for mid-lane. She has no way to boost her trading potential nor any real ability to make outplays. All Annie has is decent AP ratios and her stun. And That's it! This is also the reason why Annie is so binary in her results, in the bad way. If she doesn't get fed/farmed over her head she becomes all but completely useless; one of your champion picks gets reduced to a stun bot for the rest of the match. It's why in higher levels of play she is considered to not even be a viable midlane pick and only sees play as a support.
Llanite2 votesPick a long-ranged mage
and blow her from range.
Vistha Kai1 votesAyyy, Ahri is a long range mage.
Now I've seen everything.

Mew Goes AD1 votesIf you are trying to nerf any champion that happens to do a lot of burst damage, you are going to be here for a while.
At least Annie has clearly defined counters that don't require 3 different people on the opposing team to play perfectly to prevent her from instant-killing the ADC.
