Annie is my favorite champion but all I see on the front page of the boards is complaints about Annie. Just nerf her to hell pls. Shes so good or something. She can 100-0 you with flash. Assassin can't do that so neither should she. Right? Or is it assassins cant do it because they have tons of movement built into there kit. Nah thats stupid. Nerf Annie make her like Garen good for beginners bad for people who've played a lot. Anyways I'm a Lux main now. Finally I hope you all have a wonderful day. Good Luck. Don't forget to be awesome.

these sour bronzies get rekt by Annie and cry about it on the boards. so sad.

so she can 100-0 squishy champions, that is what she was made to do. their are literally a ton of champions that can 100-0 squishy champions and have hard CC like she does. if she was so op why isn't she played in LCS?

She is just a burst mage. Protobelt did make her scarier.

I think Annie is fine for the moment.

This is the same thing that happened with Yasuo except Yasuo had counter play. 100-0 with a mage is stupid.

nobody likes bursty champions or lane bullies and always cry about them needing to be nerfed (when in reality they are 100% balanced and without them there would be no structure for a meta in league and the game would crumble)

Players can't grasp the concept that there is a difference between champion health and champion balance. Health refers to their enjoyment level to play as and/or against the champion. Lane bullies and burst champions are considered "unhealthy" because it's simply not enjoyable to play against them to the majority of players. The thing is, they are balanced and they do have limitations, just like any other champion. That's why they are balanced.

A cause of this misconception is that OP champions (aka, champions that fail in the balance category) are nearly always unhealthy during that state. The problem is that it doesn't work both ways. OP champions are often unhealthy, but unhealthy champions are not always OP...people don't realize this relationship and often use the terms interchangeably
