Strangely, nobody is complaining about Annie now

Back, a time ago, there were many complaints about Annie, how she was overpowered/broken and her burst was unavoidable, there were many people asking for Annie to have a delay on her ult.

Then suddenly people stopped complaining about Annie, even though the only recent change that Riot made to her was to reduce her auto-attack range.

I personally never found Annie to be broken this year, sure, her burst is enormous, but she has an incredibly short range, and is squishy.

Back then it was only Annie. She essentially became overpowered the same way Zed did: although she didn't receive any buffs, a lot of the mid lane champions were nerfed, making her stronger in comparison.

In mid lane, she could decimate popular picks such as Yasuo or Viktor. On top of that, she was already a well established counter to assassins such as Zed. In the bot lane, she could easily out trade enemy supports due to her high base damage, and because she could hold her stun pretty much indefinitely as support, she is basically guaranteed to win any skirmish.

However, that was before Riot buffed Veigar, and reworked GP, Darius, Garen, Mordekaiser, Skarner and Fiora.

Annie's 100-0 potential isn't that overpowered anymore simply because so many other champions can do it too. Heck, Veigar doesn't even need a full combo to 100-0 someone.

As well, the reworked champions either rivaled Annie in CC or burst. A GP's barrels were practically multiple Tibber ults. Fiora could block Annie's CC and bring the base fountain to the team fight. Skarner had both damage and CC like Annie, but he also had the benefit of being tanky.

People stopped complaining about Annie simply because there are worse things in the game. She is still a pretty solid pick and is still definitely one of the strongest supports/mid laner.

Annie is still annoying. I just never complained, and never will. She doesn't have really anything outside of her immense burst.

Its just a trend. First they complain about Annie, then Darius/Garen/Morde/Feedora, then Veigar, then Tristana, then Jinx. Also there are few champions that Silver and Bronze noobs always complain about like :Riven, Vayne, Yasuo, Master Yi and Tryndamere.

Well, back then it was only Annie.

Now people don't have enough bans to block all the cancer.

And yeah, Riot didn't do shit about Annie problems, so people gave up after 2 months.

The complaints tend to cycle. They will be back after the ADC reworks are released, I'm sure.

More that Riot won't do or say anything about her despite us pointing out their hypocrisy of how they don't like instant AoE stuns Veigar so it ended up being wasted effort.
