Tried it out on PBE
Just... wow. I'm speechless :0
The art and audio team really really outdid themselves this time
So, I'm just dropping by to say a quick thank you for all the hard work you guys have done and that I look forward to Annie's other splashes (not to mention Nid's also) no matter how long it'll take. I know it'll be worth it.

Just a thing I noticed about Annie's spell particles though, there is a lot more of it now than before and for someone like me who has a rather low-end computer that plays on all lowered settings, her spells cause a bit of a FPS drop when chaining spells rapidly. Maybe it can't be helped but I figured I'd post something about it while I'm here.

I share the same view on the splash art and the model but not on the audio or particles.

My biggest complain is Tibbers.Previously,you had this explosion.It looked like Annie crushed the earth with her summoning.It was a great indicator of....death.It sounded awesome and it really popped out.It was like a big "OMFG A BURNING BEAR GOD PLIS HALP MII".But now it's more like "Oh look....It's Tibbers.Whatever man.Whatever.".
Honestly,just because of this.I'd rather choose the outdated Annie model and stuff from the live servers than the new visuals.

Also,I don't like the fire colors of Frostfire Annie.It should be blue and light blue instead of blue and dark blue.The missing snowflakes on all skills are also disappointing.

I love the new classic splash art, but is there any chance of having a look at her icon? The way it's cropped now it looks like she has spiky growths coming out of her face. Something about the way it condensed when it was shrunk down makes it look odd.

The character model is so, so much better. The animations are great, I love how she moves her mouth when she talks, and her whole face is really expressive now. The new auto-attack animation is way more fluid instead of being a weird arm jerk. The spell effects are great, much more like fire instead of "red attacks," and her shield looks crazy good.

Allow me to emphasize how very happy I am that you kept her old idle-animation as her recall-animation. It's totes adorbs.

I was surprised to see that you redid her splash art again, but it looks fantastic.

The new voicework is really funny, and it fits her character well too. It's very refreshing to have so many good lines, especially compared to how few she had before. I am personally very fond of "Let's count to 5."

Annie was one of the first champions I ever loved playing, and is a big reason I stuck with the game. Frankly I wasn't expecting her to get a visual rework, but this has been a great surprise. The quality is so much better now, and it really drives home how far LoL has come. I am personally touched by the level of detail you put into this work, and how true you stayed to her character. Thank you.
