She has a 56% winrate in the toplane a 56% winrate in the midlane (op.gg). She isn't hard to play, nor is she fun to play against. She remains relevant throughout the entire game regardless of how her laning phase goes, she has access to both targeted and AOE stuns. Tibbers allows her to go even in trades even if she is killed. She does more burst than any assassin.

Can we at least get a response?

55% in mid and 54% in top I really don't see what the issue is. She's an assassin counter and assassins are the new favorite things of the pre-season.

She is easily countered with range, MR shuts her down hard, she isn't tanky unless she gets ROD. Focus her in teamfights. It's really not hard

My only gripe with Annie is that TIbbers seems to have like 50000 movespeed

At ~5-6% play rate, and under 3 % ban rate, I just see a problem. There are a couple of champions with > 5 times that play AND ban, and those are a problem. Annie, by her play/ban rate is apparently neither considered OP nor toxic to play against by most of the community (or they'd be picking or banning her more).

Can't you just call in your Assassin to eliminate her?

dude just play Cho'Gath against her... you get free health with your ult and you sustain her damage with his passive. Other solutions include asking your jungler to gank mid so she burns her flash meaning she has to slowly walk up to you to use her ult which is pretty easily telegraphed in her movement. Like, she has really short range. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY SHORT RANGE. SHE CAN BE KITED AND KILLED FROM AFAR WITH ANY LONG RANGE MAGE.

  1. Annie is a counter to mobility, which most mobility abusers are, you guessed it- assassins. So of course she is doing well against them.
  2. She is short ranged, very immobile, and easy to take advantage of. Wait for her to use her stun on farming then bam go in on her. Easy as pie.
  3. It may be my elo but I have never, EVER, seen an Annie take a protobelt so that argument is irrelevant. Plus it's not that big of a deal even if she got one- it's just like Kennen using it to get in range to ult and saving a flash instead. Flash stun Tibbers or Protobelt stun Tibbers, it's still the same and Riot likes her and her Tibber plays.
  4. Riot and the community both think she's doing just fine and is neither toxic or OP. Yes she has burst, yes she can be frustrating, but she's not like all these toxic hoes-Yasuo Zed Vayne LeeSin and others.
  5. Learn to play against her and stop QQing. THANKS.
