Time to Change Annie
In light of recent Veigar changes, Annie needs to be changed as well.
Why? Well, Veigars instant stun (on a thin ring) allows for no counter play on a champion that can burst you down if he lands the stun and is ahead.
Annie on the other hand has an instant stun in an AoE that summons a Tibbers, a fire bear that can tank turrets, while the follow up is also the rest of her spells bursting you down. This game play is almost exactly like Veigar... Except he kinda needs to aim (unless you play him so often you can line up the edge of the circle from practice) and it leaves a fence that can stun other people, but Annie now has a giant bear and most likely charges to her next stun (which can either be a short range AoE in a cone or a point and click stun).
They are virtually the same champion in how they interact with champions. Stun -> Burst -> Target dead? GREAT! Not dead? Potentially screwed. The counterplay to both of them is literally don't go near them so you don't get stunned.
So please, Riot, change Annie. Change her passive, add the stun to Tibbers (since that's how it's used a lot anyways) then add a delay to Tibbers being summoned. It's only fair, how else are champions supposed to play against Annie?
Aside from how they've been playing against her since the dawn of the game (much like Veigar), by trying to bait the stun, gang up on her and destroy her, or taking advantage of the fact that she is immobile, by jumping her when he stun is down to destroy her. Please, give champions like
a chance to actually kill her.
This is not an Annie, Lee Sin, or Zed QQ thread, this is me being salty with the Veigar changes.
and manhandled us, getting like 12 kills in a row.
