Annie is very strong. Early on. But if she doesn't absolutely feast the entire game, so becomes a stunbot later on. That's it. They needed to give her some late game staying power and maybe, MAYBE, cut her back a little early game.

No, she is even bad in lane against a good player playing someone with more range and mobility such ahri or cass. The best she can do is flash ult you to ensure her combo lands.

Hey Morello!
I would like the idea behind this buff.Because i really dont understand this buff at all.
As i thought she needs better mobility all in all for Tibbers too and a little more range on her W but we got this and i dont know why.

Would you please explain it?

Thanks

No, she did not have a hard time.

Her Q refunds mana, if it's a good player behind Annie, he'll build a lot of gold and spend very little mana.

I use Annie only when I want fast/easy matches, and always works, she's OP as hell... Her stun needed 5 spells, now it needs 4, what means if she has a stun ready and cast all her spells in a team fight, she'll probably have AoE'd stunned, and will have ANOTHER stun ready for her 3-4 seconds cooldown Q (3-4 seconds because it depends on factors such as CDR).

She didn't need any buffs, seriously.

Tbh these just feel like quality of life buffs for Annie.

I could hold my lane against anyone before and I obviously still can now.

These last 2 just give her the abillity to stun multiple times in fights instead of every 3rd cd rotation. Along with instead of throwing shield up before a fight and having it the whole fight you now have to actually throw it up when you start taking damage.
