Almost every single AP champ > Annie

It's been a while since i first created an account and first met Annie, it was back halfway trough season 2 and I recall Annie's status back then very very good. She was and still is supposed to be a Nuke-Mage. For all her simplicity you obviously need a good trade-off that gives her amazing damage for her low mobility. ha-DUH

But I bet that you have played some other mages throughout the years of course, and so have come across... weird things. It's been about 2 seasons ago that i started counting other champions abilities as "2x Tibbers" or "3x Tibbers" And it's taken me those full two years to fully realize how fucking badly nerfed Annie got throughout the patches. Full AP Annie ult gets outdamaged by nearly every single goddamned mage these days.. What the hell? I can/HAVE to count other people as how much better they are then Annie. "Ah. a teemo shroom, daz about 1.2Tibbers" (THAT. IS FUCKED. UP. think about that for a second. a trap does more damage then the champ that used to 1shot sh*t. BECAUSE SHE HAD TO. OR SHE'D DIE.) "oh, a full combo of this champ gives me 3x tibbers"

This is not just just a main ranting about his favorite character being nerfed into oblivion, It's someone who has grown to understand the delicate balance between how a character is designed, and what her/his capacities are/should be.

-That's not even addressing the "rework" they gave her that (tbh) rekked Tibbers. SURE it's easier for a noob to not care about Tibbers now, but when you are playing some 'high level' Annie the AI of tibbers very regulary screws up your plays. -They completely ruined Molten shield; that sh*t got me 10% of my kills vs ADC's. It was alot better then people guessed; so they rekked it. -OR the funfact that when i launch a stun, and then die; It won't land. -OR the hylariouz funfact that i launched a Stun with my 'instant" W, saw the animation go off, died a MS later and NOBODY in the TF got stunned.

If you want to thrash a character, just fckin' remove them. YES, annie was OP. but that was her fckin' POINT. Burn my flash & i'm an EZ gank-target. In the past at least I had amazing damage to counter all of her horrible **horrible **traits..

Feel free to discuss how I might be wrong, or how my points have merit. Please refrain from the obvious "lol annie noob" comments ^^ It's a game that's played for fun , not just for try-harding in rankeds ;)

Annie still oneshots people, always will, she's a burst mage that has zero mobility and reliable sources of damage/stuns

I don't know what you're on about, but that hasn't changed to this day really, they made tibbers arguably better for a trade of less damage, her E is a million times more useful than flat resists that meant relatively nothing compared to damage reduction from all sources (minus the obvious) and she has options better avalible because of the e change. To start off, she can now go either full burst and rely on the damage reduction, or into a ap/bruiser mage still do good burst, and be hard as shit to take down too because of 3k health 40% damage reduction shenanigans.

Annie does exactly what she is intended to, and does it with a skill ceiling of roughly 0.0073 Aurelion Sols. Her extremely reliable instant aoe stun and 100-0 damage is something not a lot of mages have.

I mean, if Annie bot can do it why can't you?

All your options are bad, why create a troll poll?
