Please remove the stun indicator on Annie, there is literally no reason to give Annie clarity...

Annie core gameplay is about being explosive at the right time, giving her a stun indicator literally kills off the unpredictable pattern of her gameplay. In a Meta in which everyone dies from anything why should Annie have the biggest Indicator? Might aswell make an automatic PING everytime she is coming out of the bush.

-She is Immobile, -She is a short-Range mage -She is rather squishy even with E up -She has low base movement speed -Extremely easy to read pattern thus very predictable

but people cried she was unfair ... cuz they dont know how to see the swirls around her when passive was up or count spells

and ever since season 6 riot has being watering down the skill level for the game to cater to new/casual players

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt Annie able to cast her Q as her fourth spell, then before it lands activate her E to prime her passive, and when the Q lands it procs the stun?

There's no swirly indicator vs that, and that combined with the fact that she can cast spells out of vision, means you wont always be able to count her spells.

I know, Irelia does it too. She'll drop a blade in the fog, with no indicator that she's done so, then she gap loses and places another blade behind you and gets you with a stun zone about a mile long. And you have no idea where the path is between the two blades

It's something I have a gigantic problem with, but I havent seen anyone else complain about it, so I guess I'm in the minority.

This is counterplay.

People that know how to play Annie with this indicator don't complain about that. They know how to work with it, and even trick the ennemy.

And let's be honest : if it was implimanted, you would complain about it since it's unfair, if you face yourself Annie.

People always complain about stuff when it's not against them. ( for buffs or things as your thread ) Always expand your view, and see the other side....

Asking to remove Annie's stun indicator is also asking for the removal of similar indicators, such as Irelia's Fervor and Jhin's bullets.

How would it be fair to not know when Irelia is gonna jump on you because you can't see that she has 3 Ionian Fervor stacks already?

How would it be fair to not know that Jhin is gonna flash on you because he just shot his 3rd bullet and now he has his 4rth?

The same applies to Annie. The visual around her is not that remarkable : you can miss it easily. If she didn't have an indicator, you'll have to be paranoïac and count each and every spell she uses in order to have an idea on when she's gonna all in you.

Not really cool for those facing Annie. Furthermore, even with the indicator up, she can still surprise you. Even if you see that she has her stun up, it won't stop her from Flash Tibbers you, and there's a possibility that you were too slow to react and boom, you're dead.

You can "hide" the indicator by sitting at 3 stacks and simply cast 2 spells. Even sitting at 2 stacks and cast 3 spells. If you aren't doing this you're just not that clever. lol

And similarly, if people weren't expecting that possibility already...
