annie rework needed, here is an idea

you wanted to get rid of the flash-ult combo on annie right? you didnt fix it. you made it worse. here is an idea that will surely be a fix,

swap annie's ult with her passive.

now i know what your thinking, but hear me out. if you make her ult give her next ability a stun+magic damage (if needed) like karma's mantra, she cant flash-ult combo anymore. Tibbers will become an ACTUAL GUARDIAN, not some bear you send out to kill everything. Have tibbers proc when annie's health is 20% or lower, he stays out until dead or some time passes. Tibbers would spawn right infront of annie, maybe 20 units infront of her, and cause the same animation her current ult does. Doing this solves ALL the problems of her being too powerful, while making it fair for others.

as for her ult cooldown, something small like 50/40/30 so she cant spam it all the time. granted CDR 45% would bring that down to 16.5 second cooldown. enough time to go in, stun, run away, come back, stun again. maybe to make it a bit more fair, have her ult be like mantra on karma, there at lvl 1 60 second cooldown of course.

thats my idea though, tell me what you guys think, if this would be a good idea for annies or not.

If you read their posts on their vision for Annie, they wanted to KEEP her flash ult+stun (because that's like... the only reason to play her)... not remove it.

why would they WANT to keep the flash ult+stun? the same mechanic here would be implemented only its changing her stun slightly and giving her less range to stun. more risk for all the reward.

It is iconic to the champion.

i just cant understand it then. why do you WANT flash+ult+stun to be a thing? that just makes tibbers another ability that does damage. where is the whole "guardian" aspect of tibbers? this is just an opinion of mine, but tibbers isn't doing any guardian like duties. you just send him out, and destroy the entire team. if he were to come out when annie was at low health to SAVE her, that would give tibbers the whole guardian feel. i just can't understand the whole tibber's ult flash stun combo, which to me looks and feels like just another damaging ability.

Where are you getting the idea that Tibbers is supposed to be a guardian? Riot haven't spoken about him being a defender of Annie at all. He's supposed to be an offensive pet she uses to kill people, not a shield.

They never had any intention of removing it, so the entire premise of this thread is flawed.

"Why would they want to keep it?" Because you haven't noticed that every champion in the game can flash-engage.

People play Annie precisely for the Flash + Tibbers combo, its iconic to her and its what makes her viable

though her molten shield needs a big nerf too. 40% damage reduction, what even.
