New Tibbers is HORRIBLE

As Annie, I have NO play control over him. Seriously, before this rework, I could right-click on a target while he was active, and he'd attack it with me. Now, he does whatever the hell he wants. He doesn't switch targets, he farms minions when he should be attacking champions, AND HE DOESN'T ATTACK TURRETS. What's the point of having an ult if I can't even control it?

I rage-quit out of a custom bot game, getting killed 11 times mainly because I COULDN'T CONTROL TIBBERS. I try to get him to attack a champion; he doesn't listen. I try to pull him off a champion to attack another champion, HE DOESN'T LISTEN. And sometimes he just sits there with his thumb up his ass. Instead of Annie and Tibbers acting as one, I now have to control two different characters, which is cumbersome as fuck, EVEN ASSUMING I KNOW HOW, WHICH I DON'T!

This is kind of piss-poor play control is unacceptable, especially in a RTS game. Revert the controls back to what it was before 6.9, because this Tibbers is borked.

Oh PS: E STILL only is useful to charge the stun. You still fail.

If you die 11x to bots while actually trying, you're probably Bronze 14...

Alt+click to order tibbers Alt+click on yourself makes him follow you until commanded otherwise Stunning someone makes tibbers target them

in other words,you probably didn't know how to play Annie before either way

Tibbers is not a slave, riot finally realized that you should not control a teddy bear because they have feelings too. This is a step forward to end slavery in League of legends.

I'll stick to the main post avoid addressing all the garbage in this post. I agree that Tibbers post rework is very wonky. Several times Tibbers seems to get caught in some loop of commands and stands still doing absolutely nothing regardless of using "R" or "Alt+Rclick". Based on other posts I've read I'm assuming Riot's simplification of micro commands has made Tibbers follow whoever you target as Annie. If you try to send Tibbers to attack one target, maybe an enemy Jungler camping your lane, and then you try to attack something else Tibbers will either get caught in a loop and doing nothing, which happens to me about 50% of the time, or he switches targets to your new target and ignores the original command. To be honest it is very frustrating at times of course but there is the same issue with Morde and his ghosts, i.e Dragon. The old system before the "micro commands" update seemed to work better IMO but it is what it is I guess. I'm not sure how you are having an issue with Tibbers not attacking turrets though. I haven't had that issue yet. You are upset about having to control 2 characters but that is exactly what you should be doing during her ult. I mean, giving commands to Tibbers. If his first target dies he SHOULD auto target the next closest champion or stand still until you give the command to attack minions or the turret, etc. Also, E is not only useful to charge the stun still. I'd say 40% damage reduction at max rank is pretty significant.

I assumed this was a post complaining about the post-death tibbers rage effect, this is kinda funny
