Because being zoned by that ring of death isn't fun at all. WHY DOESN'T IT DECAY??? You can't even get closed because she'll fucking pop her tibbers. You can't react to that shit. It needs some counterplay added.
CrazedPorcupine2 votesmy guess is that annie will receive minor tweaks in the update, but no big skill replacements. Remember, Riot is only focusing on the 6 big ones, but they did say they'll touch up some other ap champions that need some minor tweaks. They just won't be doing new skills, new VFX or the like for them. (I'd hope they tweak annie ult and passive a little)
GuiltyGecko2 votesThey probably have their reasons, but it probably comes down to resources ultimately. They decided they could get the most mileage out of their current choices.
Personally speaking, I don't think it would take much to change Annie into a more healthy. A popular suggestion that I like is to change her R into a skillshot like in LoL's cinematic trailer. You would basically lob tibbers like a corki Q (with probably longer range and such of course.)
I think it would be interesting if Annie's stun decayed if she was out of combat for X seconds, but she could keep it up by like auto attacking or e/w spamming.
