Here's the funny thing, last night I played Cassiopeia midlane and ran into a ranked Annie player. I'm level 19, and run no runes, so this Annie had me vastly outclassed from the start.

And I managed to hold my own despite the fact that the other player had 11 masteries and a full rune page advantage. The only times I died were when gank help came and was willing to tower dive me as I saw them and retreated under my tower.

Annie is frustrating to fight. I can't count the number of times this experienced player caught me with a stun and then tried to follow up with an all-in. He knew he had the advantage and kept trying to bully me out of the lane. The thing was I knew her abilities and would retaliate once the stun was down. We went back and forth until the laning phase ended.

Now, I did not carry my team or dominate the game. I would have been shocked if I had as it was my first ever non bot game on Cassiopeia. However, just knowing a little about how Annie plays and being able/willing to adjust my play to what was required to fight her allowed me to frustrate her and play well. There is no reason to nerf Annie.
