Since annie is bringing her bear to life, it should disappear from her hands after casting it. I've noticed that in her new skin, the bear remains in her hand after casting Tibbers.
It's the little things :)
Your Starchild18 votesShe throws the bear in that cinematic too.
Come to think of it, why not just make a new casting animation to have her throw it? Would require work, but i think it can be done without hurting her cast time.
Clint Orris5 votesThe bear is not the teddy bear lol. The bear is trapped inside the teddy bear. SO when she ults she literally only releases tibbers from his cage lol. Yea Annie is a badass
meohmichael3 votesFrom a clarity perspective, this would help enemy players know if Tibbers is currently walking about the battlefield, and didn't happen to see Annie ult. Then you don't suddenly have a Molten shield-empowered bear running out of a bush somewhere to take you by surprise.

AbiwonKenabi2 votesYeah I've always thought this should be a thing. I'm surprised they didn't implement this when they visually updated her.

This would be a good idea but the fact that Annie constantly asks if anyone has see her bear timbers indicates that the one she's holding and the one she summons aren't the same.

Or maybe she's retarded
Tis a nice day3 votesOr maybe her tibbers isn't referring to her bear at all
ducks incoming backlash
Wathehellsupdog12 votesWell, the lore does say she ensorcelled a shadow bear and keeps it by her side as a stuffed doll. So, when she's asking if anyone has seen her bear Tibbers she probably means what the shadow bear looks like and not the stuffed doll. Anyway my two cents on this topic.
Major Sparkles41 votesNo she means it as a twisted joke. "Have you seen my bear Tibbers?" They respond, "Nope." Then boom, Tibbers lands on their face and she laughs maniacally as they're torn to flaming bits.
Wathehellsupdog5 votesThat was a hellava lot better than what I had in mind +1 to you sir.
Archeanthus4 votes"Found him!"
Mughi of Ruckus2 votesPretty much. That's why she'll yell out, "There he is!" Gleefully as one of her ult dialogues.
ULTRAF0RCE1 votesKind of, the bear that she summons is held inside her stuffed animal, and gets to escape when she summons it.
MrBuffington2 votesAnd then if Tibbers times out instead of being killed, he should just return to her hand instead of dying in the same way
Snow Day Ellie4 votesSo tibbers is a pokemon and the teddy bear is his pokeball. Genius~
MrBuffington8 votesOmfg new skin Pokemon trainer Annie rito plz
Mughi of Ruckus2 votesIt would be hilarious if there were a random variation to what she could summon with a VO of her yelling "[summoned thing] I chose you!" It would probably be a legendary skin, but I'd certainly pay money for it.
You also forgot to say nintendo plz.
Still, one of the best skin ideas that I have seen..... Although I haven't seen a lot so.......
Maestro802 votesI always thought that she should throw her bear. I think it should be like Corki's Q. You can see where the AoE blast will be and have time to run away from it if you're fast enough. In exchange for the added counterplay, make Tibbers' appearance always stun, regardless of the state of her passive.
OmniMoto2 votesHere, allow me to make this a bit more clear as to why she doesn't lose the bear A. Her animation when ulting does not have her throw/drop the bear (clearly) B. Her lore refers to a shadow bear, not a stuffed one. Personally, I believe that Annie had the stuffed bear before getting the shadow bear, she could have then used the stuffed one as a voodoo doll, I guess you could put it. C. If Annie did happen to lose her stuffed bear when using her ult, that would mean that there would need to be a cast time to the ultimate, which would be quite the nerf to her.
EDIT : Not entirely knowledgeable on Annie's lore for B. I assume it is correct
Spoofghoul2 votesNope Annie used magic to turn that shadow bear into tibber the stuffed bear.
Senteth1 votesNods
urgotdangit1 votesI thought it would look cool for her to kinda underhand toss it, but the animation would be real quick.
I Main Swain1 votesmy thought has always been that when she casts tibbers (which already has a small delay anyways) she should throw her teddy bear to where she ults
Nayru Din Farore1 votesshe summons tibbers using her bear ( her bear is a voodoo doll that she uses to control it)
Killer X 127 votesNot how it is portrayed in Riot's Cinematics...or what it says in the lore.
The bear she is holding IS Tibbers.
Killer X 121 votesI agree.
JustChamp1 votesIt'd be cool if there was a new casting animation for throwing her bear down to transform 
Shadow spire1 votesI always thought that tibbers was just transformed into the teddy bear but wasnt able to go back to his original form unless annie released him via chucking him up into the enemy team.
Battle AngeI 1 votesTrue Story, why annies keep holding tibbers??? after casting tibbers??
Anrui1 votesThis would be a nice touch but in the lore Tibbers is really a shadow creature thingy that she tamed and sealed inside of the stuffed bear (maybe Tibbers wasn't originally a bear at all but took the shape of it's prison). So the Tibbers stuffed animal is not the actual bear that she summons. It is just a container for the monster Annie has locked inside.
Levyathyn1 votesIdea supported.
Gorbache1 votesGood idea! They said she was on the list for rework anyway so they can add this ;)
Mephistophilis1 votesIt makes sense
Jarrito2321 votesIt would be cool, but I think it'd require a lot of work to get that one little detail in the game when they can focus on something else. I don't see Riot doing that anytime in the future.
SleepyLionCub1 votesIt would be cool if zed's shurikens do that too. While his q is on cd they disappear from his back.
