Some serious coding issues with Annie and Malzahar

So i've been playing a bit of malz and annie and i have to say i have some minor beef with some of the coding. First of all if you play malzahar its really confusing the way the voidlings scale and its not at all explained in the tooltips. For example if i buy boots, and im just sitting in my base moving aroudn without having any other abilities active etc, sometimes it seems like the boots apply to the voidling speed and sometimes it doesnt, its really confusing and i notice this happen often when im actually fighting as well. even without my e on ppl sometimes my voidlings are much faster than other times (and no i dont have them ulted either) In addition similar things happen with attack speed (still testing this) it seems like attack speed slow items reduce voidling attack speed? not really sure but if so that seems kinda bizzare to me as many other ap things like shaco boxes are not coded as auto attacks. Like i said I am still testing but if the voidling attacks ARE coded as auto attacks, does this mean that Items that reduce dmg from champion autos do the same for voidlings?

As for annie, tibbers AI is REALLY BAD and kinda unfair, i mean try playing syndra, you can screw annie easily just by tossing tibbers over a wall, honestly tibbers feels super clunky, sometimes even just standing still after i die, or doing who knows what...

I'd very much appreciate it if these problems were addressed.

i agree with the whole annie thing. they sai they improved his ai but what they really meant is they took it away and you have to tell him what to do or he will just stand there.

So, it does say that voidlings frenzy when you have 3 or more out. Frenzy increases movement speed and attack speed, which is what youre noticing. They do NOT benefit from your stats aside from your AD, AP, and spell/damage effects (raylais and black cleaver, respectively).

Tibbers AI is actually fairly good... its just hes slow and youre not using R to move him. While hes out, pressing the button again while hovering over a champ makes him attack that champ. Same for all other controllable pet/clones/minion-champions.
