Tank Annie PSA

Please stop kicking me from team builder... I have a 65% win rate and even if I lose lane I still affect the game more than the player that beat me. Tank Annie, is a thing. Thank you.

Tank Annie use to be meta...then people realized that just building Zhonyas; Flash+Ult (Stun)+W+Q then activate Zhonyas then repeat combo can wipe out an entire enemy team... so no need for tank ^^

You are not always going to have flash or zhonyas. having the option to walk into a fight and soak up damage and still stun a whole team is way more feasible. I normally get around top damage because the meta is heavily AD base and E+Thornmail wrecks, unless they are stacking lifesteal it is not uncommon for hitting you to hurt them more. It's one of those things people don't really see so they doubt it.

Having rod and Abyssal still allows you to 100-0 squishys.

Damage is better:

Doesn't let me add a second file? Weird; I'll post it here: See my KDA even in games where top AND bot were feeding and we lost.

According to OP. GG last 20 Annie games you - 35%win rate 2.48KDA me - 65%win rate 3.45KDA

You also have a staggeringly low number of assists on average, especially sense a large number of your games are played as support. Seems like you must hold back a lot unless you can get a kill which probably starves your ADC and leads to your loss average.

so....

The most likely answer is. Burst Annie is an opportunist. Tank Annie is able to stay in team fights and does not rely on everyone being dead before her stun/zhg wears off so she does not get blown up.

I always just put my role as whatever icon I'm missing.

So you get stuff like Mage Talon and Marksman Sion.

just put the role as mage, proceed to build tank anyway, you still have enough base damage to justify the mage tag, mages aren't unheard of in top lane and you can justify any tank items in game as itemizing against your lane opponent.
