So when is Annie going to get the Veigar treatment?

I totally agree with adding a short delay to Veigar stun. Gives a chance to make out plays rather than "LOL stunned and one shotted".

My hope is you guys are working on the same thing for Annie?

It's been suggested a million times that Annie should toss her bear to create Tibbers, giving it a small projectile time so people have a chance to react. This would also solve the problem of Annie still holding Tibbers after she has summoned Tibbers so it's a win/win!

Rito plz.

No! We need someone to stop the broken piles of mobility Riot keeps throwing at us. I want to be able to CC Yasuo, Lee, Zed and Kalista while knowing what I am doing, instead of throwing all my spells and hope that they dash into them by mistake.

Or else give mobility a 0.75 delay, but nah, that would ruin the flashiness, right?

I can agree with this.

Funny enough, I remember when they toned down her burst and released DFG to compensate.

The excess of mobility is no excuse to have zero counter play abilities in the game.

Annie could be compensated in other ways, such as having the radius increased so it's not as easy to dodge.

Point is, I know everyone is raging about "mobility creep" right now -- but that's a poor reason to have these instant click abilities that offer zero ability to react or outplay.

when will people realize that LOL is not a series of 1v1s and that counterplay includes not getting into range or using hard engage to catch the enemy before they can react?

Kind of wonder if they realize Annie has less range than Veigar as well as having to even match his range with an ult stun. And I don't see how she even gets a buff here at all. She also has no gap closers whatsoever with a low base movespeed.

Yes because you can clearly stay out of range of Flash + Tibbers Annie stun. That's why it's constantly picked / banned at both LCS and solo queue levels.

Annie is not pick/ban. She's used but not dominating at all.

It's the only champion I can think of in the support role that is at all contested enough to be picked so often and even sometimes banned. Janna probably comes close, but she is slated for nerfs next patch already (or did they just go through? forget which).
