Annie should get a Visual + Voice update that reflects her video; Annie: Origins.

Annie really needs thematic updates desperately. Her voiceactor was pretty talented, but Annie is a relic of the past back when Riot would use a couple voiceactors to voice every champion, and because of that limitation a lot of them really don't fit at all. She also looks a bit like a weird demon child with her eyes and hair. This brings me to my main point;

Make ingame Annie look and sound like she does in Annie: Origins. She seems more like a little girl here, instead of a cartoonish parody of a child. Annie doesn't necessarily look horrible, but after seeing her video, it's painfully obvious that her current visuals and voice are out of place and subpar.

Well her title is "The Dark Child" so what did you expect?

She already had a VU in 2013 and had some Gameplay work in 2016 http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M7aO1mP9hwQ/UPc29eOrLHI/AAAAAAAAAv4/xyMDPdeypoA/s1600/annie_before_after.jpg

Riot also mentioned that her look in the origins video is just that, her origin. It's who she WAS, what we see in game is who she is NOW, and thus they wouldn't be changing her.

If I remember correctly then Riot confirmed that the origins video was actually made with Annies VO in mind.

The plan seems to be that as Annies story moves on,she becomes the annie that we have ingame eventually.

Annie needs some in game voice lines more then anything. She has so few voice lines and interactions it really makes it hard to really understans her personallity.

I do like that they give Nunu a voice line to hint at him having a crush on her though.

Yeeah but she won't because Riot doesn't see the value in doing VO updates on their own. It's just throwing money into a pit really. When a VGU gets done they do it because they're already altering gameplay and visuals which will attract players back.

Youre completely right... Thats the problem with the Lore team.. They dont consider in game characters so they just update champion Bios and then the Bio doesnt fit the in game quotes and looks :/

Even a skin that makes her and her abilities look like oil paintings would be fantastic.

I don't even play Annie, and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Annie should get a full VGU, cause her gameplay could really use some depth.
