Annie Rework to Better Match Her Awesome Cinematic
Annie is great, but I do wish her in-game model was less evil looking and more reflective of her short story cinematic. Because Annie is not evil and is a good girl, but if you upset her / hurt her then she hurts you, but seeks to helps those around her by choice. She just ends up hurting those around her due to her powers and not quite being in full control of them which makes some people to treat her like a monster.
Things to address for Annie: ~ Give her tools to help her through the early game / laning phase while still being this little fire mage that is immobile and short ranged. ~ Force counter play. This means remove her ability to flash into instant stun, and in return she can have tools on her kit itself that allows her to make plays in some form. This a better design aspect because it means she does not need Flash to function and her play making ability is on her ability kit itself. ~ I would like to see Tibbers play a bigger role for Annie than being about drop the bear and let Tibbers die, Annie loves Tibbers and that should be reflected in her gameplay in some form. Same with Tibbers protecting Annie. ~ Remove Annie's thornmail effect. This makes no sense as a mage, but the shield makes a ton of sense, especially for a short range mage, so there is a better way to have the damage reduction shield and have a more active replacement for attacking Annie directly. Something like Annie's Q does bonus damage against enemy champions that recently basic attacked her for an example.
Overall, Annie will still feel like the same champion, but she should feel nicer to play as for the user and offer better counter play and clarity for the opponent as well.
