I hope you realize that Annie CANNOT keep her stun forever.

She needs to farm. You complain about her farming easily with Q while simultaneously complaining about her keeping her stun. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Go try Annie, she's only 450. She is, yes, one of the easiest champs to exist. However she does have definite windows of time where she is vulnerable with her CC down.

Thjs has been a PSA by a morg main that doesn't really give a shit about stuns

Y'know who else can hold onto their stun forever?

Every fucking champion in the game with a stun.

What about Support annie? The real cancer that zones your adc in lane by just existing?

Or makes your whole team hesitant on engaging unless a Sejuani ult equivalent lands on them?

No one is complaining about mid annie, and in fact mid annie is demolished by long range mages Xerath Ziggs or suffers child abuse Chogath Malzahar Mordekaiser

In fact, support annie is SO stupid that she's picked in lcs ONLY for her stun. Pro's don't care about her damage 1 bit

Hey OP, I understand from the perspective of an Annie player that you might rely on her abilities to farm. However, for pretty much the rest of AP mid laners, they actually have to farm with their auto attacks in lane. Some examples include: Viktor, Orianna, LeBlanc, Lux, etc. Sure, they can farm with their abilities, but if they use more than one at best per wave, they will be oom before level 6.

Yet, most Viktor, Orianna, and Lux players manage just fine. Annie can indeed hold her stun forever, or rather she only needs to hold it until her opponent steps up for CS. Additionally, the moment she lets go of her stun, she can immediately cast her other 2 abilities to begin charging up for the next one.

Or worse, if Annie is played as support, she pretty much guarantees that all trades will go even or in her favor.

annie cannot keep her stun forewer ... but she doesnt have too

next thing her stun charges of her spells ... she has either 3 or 4 to use

if she detonates her stunn with q to farm she needs to accumulate 4 stacks ... she can get either 2 or 3 straight out

so her windows when she doesnt have her stunn are either 1 or 2 q's

now thats something like 8 or 4 seconds when annie is still fully functional in combat just has no cc

if she gets morellomicon its 3.2 seconds (no one gets that before 6 i assume) if she has 40% cdr its 2.4

now add the fact that she is tanky to the mix and she is basicaly always ready to stunn since her durability allows her to survive those windows

for a mordekaiser class champion (loads of damage and loads of survivability because he has no cc and no mobility) ... thats a little cooldown and a big gain

i wont speak about her ballance ... but she could use counterplay ... tactical counteprlay and your argument is kinda weak here ... she cant keep the stun forewer but it takes so little time to get it again and she doesnt suffer many drawbacks becuase her q is on cd

She has the highest basic attack range for a caster. If you need spells for simple last hitting you are doing something wrong...

Well yeah, but it takes around six seconds to get it back if you use a rotation. Besides, there are champions that have harder aa farm then Annie.

That's right. Support Annie does not need to CS, and she can harass just fine with her auto attacks. She just keeps her stun ready at all times and waits until your jungler ganks to AOE stun your whole team.

Which is why support Annie is such bullshit.
