Change Annie Back -_-

Initialwave··1 votes·618 views

I played a game of League this evening with my favorite mid champ, Annie. Other than Brand, when you want something cooked into oblivion, you play Annie. Well, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I couldn't even kill the Sona support in a burst of flames. Sure, you have made some things better, but you have literally made her a dead champion against Ahri, Zed, Yasuo, and the like, and she counters all of them! And Tibbers. oh sweet Tibbers. Tibbers no longer attacks on his own, and has to be constantly commanded to do so, even when you summon him. So instead of hitting R once and watching Mayhem, I have to constantly hit R while trying to cast other spells. Not cool, Riot. and then you nerfed Tibbers, but that's ok, cause "we gave him enraged"? Enraged sucks. Like Terribly Sucks. what good is an alive bear that is enraged when I'm dead? he never even attacks the guy that killed me due to the whole like 2 second stall out on enrage activating. Just change Annie back to the way she was. don't fucking fix it if it isn't broken, Rito.

Alright, so just looking at your item build path, it would be my opinion you built the wrong items at the wrong time.... this is my recommendation for Annie when going against Zed in particular

Start item 1029 and 4 x item 2003

play safe. Farm with your Q, dodge his Shruikans best you can and save your stun for when he goes in on you, and walk away

If he manages to get kills (either on you or your teammates) get a item 3191 and rush a Zhonya's for his ult if he's still gutting you. Remember to save your Stun for when he goes in on you (ults or just comes too close for comfort).

If you are doing well in lane, the first item i really like to get on Annie is a item 3027. It gives you the mana and HP you need and scaling ap. This is my " if you're not getting your butt handed to you" first item.

I don't care for item 3285 on Annie, and I certainly would not get it second, she needs that item 3027 or item 3157 for survival either would be better than item 3285 second, especially with an enemy Zed.

I prefer to get a item 3116 because Tibber's Aura will proc the slow making it easier to catch enemies and help ou survive longer, but I also build my mages more for survival than for burst (and Annie is great at burst)

item 3165 was a good choice because of the Sona and Olaf but I feel like you got it too early on, especially against that matchup.

I am sure plenty of other higher ranked players will have other opinions, these are just mine based on my own experiences :)
