Annie is a perfectly balanced champion in a good spot right now.

"predict her ult is counterplay to her"

predicted
still got hit because fuck counterplay

DecritJul 30, 20157 votes

-Still got hit because due to flash and flash-like spell changes you are subsceptible to hits in your starting flashing point, patched and noted.

still annie is annie, but let' s not throw shit now

I saw that for the first time last night while I was jungling with nid. I speared Gragas and leaped at him a second before he flashed and my pounce went to where he flashed to.. I even said wtf out loud when it happened.

But got the kill and moved on, still crazy to see though

This is a problem with how Ezreal's E works. Not Annie's ult.

This is a problem with how Ezreal's E works. Not Annie's ult.

The way Ezreal's E works is also how he is able to jump out of Blitzcrank hooks that actually hit him in the face. I'm pretty sure he gets hit by everything as if he was still at his old location until the spell is all the way done, but once the spell is started he goes all the way through with it(so he can jump even though Annie stunned him or Blitzcranked pulled him).

lostbob117Jul 30, 20151 votes

Even I'm understanding what you're saying correctly. You're wrong. There is like a .5second window or so for Ezreal to actually go with his E. First he does a small jump. So he can't still get hit while this small jump is going through. Nothing can hit him once that goes through until he's in his new position.

Unless this was what you were trying to say.

VesarixxJul 31, 20151 votes

It's not a bug, the E can't be interrupted, but any CC that hits you the second before you blink still gets applied, landed an Ashe arrow on an Ezreal once right as he used E and it had the same result.

IVVVIJul 30, 20158 votes

So I just wanted to point out, the annie is quite ahead of the ezreal, being level 9 poke mage vs level 11 burst mage (most likely with an item advantage aswell) this is to be expected, and happens with more champions than just annie.

And Annie is immobile, notice she has to blow flash even when shes so far ahead, to secure the kill. Her mobility isn't even her only weak point, but you get the idea.

It's mostly the fact that despite actually dodging the ult, Ez STILL gets hit by it. Like wat

COLDSNOWKILLERJul 30, 20152 votes

I've done the same thing to Ez with Warwick 's Q. If you manage to cast an ability right as or before Ez can blink away he'll still take the damage as he gets away.

But anyway. Ez is a garbage champ anyway and had it coming.

Ez, garbage? You would not say that before the Runeglaive nerfs

Axis the DragonJul 30, 20151 votes

The difference being that WW's Q is a targeted point-and-click spell. If the animation starts, it will hit even if you Zhonya's or are ulted by Kalista. The damage will go through, before your target goes into invulnerability. It's an instant.

Annie's ult is still kinda instant - however, it is a skillshot (technically), which shouldn't hit someone blinking away.

Honestly though, I'm not even mad that this is a thing, I despise Ez's mobility (though it is very useful when playing as him, heh)

But he didnt dodge it, the code of the game says the bear hit him before he dodged, so he did not dodge it

Mr Sir LebowskiJul 30, 20151 votes

I see your point is about how her ult hitting him after his port but like some others have said it's not because it's Annie, other abilities from other champions will do the same thing. That combined with the enormous lead Annie had over a half health squishy and any mage burst or not burst would kill him in 2 spells, some in only 1.

Yeah pretty much everything about this video that seems cheap is faults in the game code and not Annie herself. She's got issues, but this is more a video about how spaghetti code works.

Take any mage who has some kills.
Flash under tower and cast a spell at Ez on 30% HP.
Watch him die

I fail to see your point OP. Leblanc can do this shit without even flashing.

He had about 50% to be fair...

ConturbatioJul 30, 20151 votes

Honestly, Ezreal's E is pretty buggy, just like Vayne's Q, it only refreshes the cordinations of the champion's hitbox after the animation/spell cast is finished. Example, nidalee throws a spear at vayne, although vayne quickly tumbles away & visually dodges the spear, she still gets hit because the spear reached her previous location before her Q's animation ended.

Please don't nerf Annie too much. Literally the only champion that I can play who doesn't get crapped on by Yasuo or Zed.

B1naryB0tJul 30, 20151 votes

Not sure about yas, but if I ever see a zed I pick Kayle. I pick Kayle and hold onto his belt loops and make him cry. Q harass? I have a heal. You wanna cs? I'm ranged. You wanna hard push? I have waveclear. You try to go all in? I have an R. You wanna cry? Finally you succeed at something.

yukonlJul 31, 20151 votes

Kayle is highly picked or banned in solo queue due to her being really strong with devourer. Most games it's either banned or first picked for jungle and not for mid.

B1naryB0tJul 31, 20151 votes

If kayle is picked or banned then I go zil mid. Ungodly for the same reasons. You can easy dodge his abilities, you out trade him, you can slow him if he wants to go in, if he does manage to get you on the ropes your R pops you right back up at full health.

Plus also it's very easy to tilt zed players I've found. Especially since zilean is such a frustrating lane opponent.

EnosetcJul 30, 20151 votes

lol. this is my vid

i just use it to tease stephanie stone. the problem is mostly with how ezreal's e behaves, but annie's skills tend to ignore displacement and i think riot should look into fixing that.

That Bronze 5 Ezreal flash kek.

I love it when people flash after you throw a targeted skillshot on them or you've ignited them. It adds insult to injury.

Annie is broken but impossible to balance without a full rework of her kit and how it works.

Shroom JunkieJul 31, 20151 votes

She already dropped the Tibbers, the animation just didn't go off.

Seriously, saying that is unfair is like saying every melee champion ever is unfair. As long as they get through half or so of their AA animation it'll go even if you flash away. totally unfair #nerfallmelee2k15
