Annie buff on PBE

LOOΠΔTIC·8/30/2019, 8:29:35 PM·1 votes·1,268 views

Ok so this is the current change on PBE:

Molten Shield (E) [New] "Annie now gains 50% bonus movement speed that depreciates quickly over 1.5 seconds." Damage reduction lowered from 16/22/28/34/40 to 8/11/14/17/20 Cooldown increased from 10s to 15s Mana cost increased from 20 to 40

Is that supposed to be a buff? Looks like a nerf to me... 1.5 second movement speed that depreciates is a pretty good buff because now she can stun people easier by just activating her e. But the other changes?

Half of her original damage reduction? Cooldown increased by 5 seconds? Mana cost increased too? (not that she really has mana problems but still)

Most champions in league today has a dash/blink/teleport etc. She'll still have a hard time chasing down people who has those kind of abilities + she has no early game damage and with this damage reduction nerf she'll be even more easier to kill in the early game.

Ok so these was just my thoughts of this Annie change, please comment and explain if you differ or agree. Annie

They made her E even worst in the PBE, the MS boost is now based on lvl starting at 25% at lvl 1 and increasing to 51% at max lvl... but that's ok she gets her mana costs reverted... which means nothing with the reduced damage reduction and increased CD on the spell [zombie-nunu-bummed]
