Annie's counter play

So people say that lack of counter play is what makes a champion overpowered. I believe there isn't much counter play to Annie all of her damage is instant and she has a stun that can either be homing or easy land aoe from her ult or w. Riot took away Talon single target one second silence because there was no counterplay according to some folks, even tho he has to get in melee range to kill someone. Meanwhile Annie gets an easy land/homing stun, all of her dmg is instant, she can do it from a range unlike talon and she can kill squishies just as fast as Talon. So please make me understand how a single target 1 sec silence is more op and has less counterplay on a melee assasin kit, than an aoe hard to miss stun on a ranged mage that basically has to headbutt the keyboard to kill a champion.
