Annie requires same treatment as TF did
Nerf her stun so that she can't hold it forever. Bam, counter play right there.

There are your annie counters and champs who can lane against her. TF had range, annie doesn't. Flash is on a 5 minute cd and games typically last 30 mins to 40 so do the math on how many times she can flash. The only way annie can poke you is if you get near her range, so please stop playing melee against her and then QQ ing about her. There are many options to play against her and range will completely devastate annie.

I don't think OP is worried about mid lane annie holding her stun. It's support annie that does this.
Range still applies to support. It's actually really painful to play support annie against a caitlyn, jinx, ashe (anybody with 600 range +) and a tanky support like Leona who can all in annie or morgana. Truth is there is counter play to annie but that counter play comes with specific picks rather than any champion. Even support brand is a thing nowadays, and naut support.
Then give her equal range. Is it that hard to pick champs to counter others or build merc treads?
So...you want ANnie's stun not to last forever, when unlike TF, its not tied to any specific ability but her passive stacks. Okay...clearly, this community has gone full retard.
