That Annie E buff might actually make her finally viable

taleofsonata··4 votes·4,122 views

She had a hard time dealing with hyper mobile assassins, divers, long range mages, control mages, safe ADC, Tanks, Bruisers, Juggernaut etc,

Now her E will help her capitalize on enemies mistakes and run into them.

Maybe increase her base movement speed by 5 would really push her to a top tier burst mage.

Idk, imo it just increases the most annoying parts in her kit (I.E. running up and clicking R and essentially one-shotting you). I think Riot should have handled this differently. I'm not exactly sure how, but differently.

Exactly, they should have given her more instead of just increasing the bullshit lol

I hope they just rework her. She is not only out of place in lore but outdated in game design

They very likely will not rework her, unfortunately. Riot has said that they like having simple, noob-friendly champions like Annie, Garen, etc. So champions like that very likely won't have any major rework, at least any time soon.

except Riot shows all the flashy champs in promotion material. they are aiming to sell skins to new players, not attract new players...

So rework her and give her a new move so she can do this? That's a bigger project and leads to people saying that Riot loves to overload everything.

No she wont. She got protobelt which was an item dedicated to her. It wont fix her onesided kit.

For a champion to have high elo viability they need to not rely on enemies messing up

Which Annie buff?

Molten Shield: Annie now gains 50% bonus movmeent speed that depreciates quickly over 1.5seconds. Damage reduction reduced to 8/11/14/17/20 from 16/22/28/34/40. Cooldown increased to 15seconds from 10 seconds. Mana cost increased to 40 from 20.

I have found that since the new rune system came out, her damage isnt what it used to be. With every new champ being super mobile, a slow champ like her with less damage than alot of other burst mages is kinda useless. that is my personal opinion only.

hopefully the new changes balance her enough so that she is viable once again.

Run to them to die since she has 0 damage reduction. Yes smart.

Oh and no enraged tibbers unless she dies. So she's basically suppose to play inting Karthus

How about... No ^-^
