Annie Help

Does anyone have tips after laning against Annie post-6 when her stun is always up? I'm usually just zoned for the rest of the laning phase getting farm when I can, but is there a better way to approach this?

i always get a lot of mr when playing against annie.

annie doesn't really actually have any counters outside of gangplank, but he's pretty hard to play effectively. a lot of people will tell you that long ranged poke mages can do good into her, but only in pre-6 laning.

having your jungler camp annie is pretty effective. although it doesn't really matter too much if she's behind because she'll still have insane damage and utility and be somewhat tanky assuming she goes for the correct build path and rushes roa.

getting mr or health early on is vital against annie though otherwise she will constantly blow you up with no counterplay. also take summoner 21 or summoner 3 versus her to tone down her burst that she can do to you.

Thanks, thats exactly what I was thinking but she just gets so tanky now. I like to play risky all in champs like lb, kat, or ahri, so I usually get pretty bored versing her so I just roam, but then late game she just blows everyone up. Do you think it would be more efficient taking barrier or exhaust vs annie instead of ignite on those champs? I actually started this thread for a friend but we both have trouble playing against her.

I actually had a game a while back against her where she froze the lane so my jungler couldnt gank but I still couldnt farm in fear of death! Thanks for your response though!

Either play something that outranges her since she has no mobility and low range or play something that can kill her and rush an early item 3001 or a item 3156

Can you tell me what champion you normally play? Generally item 3102 summoner 1 item 3001 item 3157 are good against her.

I actually started this for a friend but both of us dont particularly like playing verses her. I haevn't played mid in a while but I usually play either kat, lb, or ahri somewhat. I've rushed abysal but shes still blown me up before if I remember correctly.

Always flash when she flashes to avoid getting stunned by tibbers, don't worry about getting stunned by a Q because it will take her a long time for her to walk up to W and then R. By that time you'll already be able to move again.

A item 3102 would help a lot against her, and if she's holding on to her stun, use your abilities to clear the wave to shove her in. It might help to know the range on her abilities though. On melee champs against her, just let her push or look to roam.

her passive have to be charged by using abilities (4 of them) to get the stun up and then she still has to use a 5 ability to use the passive therefore giving her stun/passive a cooldown based off how often she can use the cooldowns of her other abilities and if she is spamming abilities she needs mana to do so... there for her passive has a mana cost

so indirectly her stun passive has a cd and a mana cost
