Should I main Annie in ranked?

I've only played 3 games with her, won them all. She's not really banned at all in my elo (I'm new to ranked). She's god tier and even better, she can play support well. What do you think, are there better options to main?

You shouldn't chose to "main" a champ based on the results of performance off a few games. What if those 3 games you played Annie match making decided to pair you with 3 sets of 5 people and at least 1 person on each team knew how to deal with Annie and gave each team at least 1 more person that listens to team mates.

Say your first 3 games as Annie you're completely useless and that Flash Tibber's stun doesnt last long nor does it do much dmg thanks to all the Tenacity Banshe Veils and MR they have.

Would you still wanna main Annie? You main a champ you are personally good at understand their mechanics and know how to out play your counters. Annie isn't god tier. The sheer fact that you believe that makes my brain shrivel up and cough

If you do well, then go for it. Just make sure you don't take her into one of the champs that counter her mid lane.

LeeSin to your heart. o3o But in all seriousness though, if you're comfortable playing a champion, you're more likely to do better.

Annie is a good champ and can definitely be strong enough to carry you to a higher elo IF you get really good w/ her (see Annie Bot as an example).

The thing is she's not like destructive OP, so it's about actually getting better. Eventually you'll hit a spot where you need to get better to keep climbing (unless you get to rank 1 on the ladder w/out ever struggling in lane or something). At that point it's not about having a champ that is strong and wins (because the people you play against will be good enough to match you), it's about having a champ you enjoy playing even when you lose. You'll have to practice and get better so it's important to have something you enjoy playing when you win or when you lose so you will be wiling to stick with them and practice and get better.

Coming from experience, learn one champion at a time. I was stuck in bronze until I mained Urgot (Season 1). That took me to gold.
