Annie Buffs were a Mistake 

Not only that your ult cd start counting down when you summon him by keeping him alive can confuse your enemies and make it harder to track your ult cooldown especially when you have high ability haste you can almost immediately resummoned him right after he expires (you can’t resummon him right away due to minimum cooldown that was put in place for certain spells often found in spells that has reactivation ie. lux E where you can detonate later up to 5 seconds the cooldown starts counting down when you cast but was kept at minimum of 2 seconds after detonation)

Q has travel time tho so u wanna do it as early as possible. Your E still does damage?

Fun build to run if you got enough dps on the team and you are support Annie. Liandry, CDR boots, Demonic, Rylais. Last item up to you.

It's normal, easy characters shouldn't get "easy" love or they become broken and elo inflated easily. Amumu an example of this.

Fun character??? have you played against her ONCE?

"fun character" XDDDDD

how tf is annie fun XDDD

Y'all are the same people that find champs with ten dashes fun af but when a burst mage gets something y'all find it broken, be fr lmaoooo

And long arm ariel poke

2 items is really expensive for support though. In mid, going liandries->Rylais is hilariously busted.

not as good anymore. nerfed

@@jasonchangdalekrule facts, tibbers +liandries actually got me multiple kills over and over

It's just a catchy title homie

@@Mattiedamacdaddy It is! It caught my attention!

Annie just became one of the most broken champ in the game. When a really simple champ like annie has more than 54% its a mistake just like with maokai

she's a champion that initiates a surprise combat with a limited skill range, her stun makes her passive because she has to wait for her chance , but really she has too much damage for a low health target, In my opinion, her free stun buff is pretty good for her to poke, but adding damage to her E is just too much, It's hard to see that she's very op if just see her as a support champion, what if she goes mid? when she got herself Luden and Rylais, it's going to be extremely annoying, it's hard to poke against her

​@@finalsong8284 imo the problem with annie prior to this buff was that she was impossible to use in lane. Her autoattacks have more range than most of her kit, her E does not provide near enough movement speed to all-in into a teamfight or sometimes even the enemy laner, making her really dependant on flash. Protobelt is not near enough, but it helps. The fact that 99% of midlaners and supports countered her hard, made her a troll pick. The change to E's reflect helps against poke champions like caitlyn, ezreal and lux. It's true that she might have been a bit overtuned due to her teamfight capabilities and her burst. But after playing quite the amount of games with her, I still feel that her burst is not that big of a deal as people might believe. As long as Eclipse, Archangel's staff and Shieldbow are a thing, annie's burst is not that big. You need to specifically build Rylai's to make sure you have a chance to kill anything on mid-game unless you're way ahead, which is not usually the case

new players, people that switched champs prob

The secret point of this video is to show us how she is too op for this meta (they better hard nerf her before the new patch if they dont want her to be perma ban)

dont let go

Same i got panda annie lol

- She always had one of the longest ranged autos in the game. Started at 625, got nerfed to 575 at some point because she abused it as a support, and then got reverted to 625 once she went back mid. - The addition of ally shield was neat, but she used to be a better 2-way flex even without it when she had higher base damage and longer early stun duration. She now only goes back to her original stun duration at level 16. - The raw damage reflection on her shield has barely been buffed. It's just that now that it also procs on spells, you actually get to use it for real before the shield is broken. Also, the shield used to be a *huge* damage reduction spell (like 40% damage reduction) at some point, which was a lot stronger overall. - Her ratios were buffed but her base damage were nerfed a lot. Old Annie had so much base damage that she infamously could 100-0 any of the meta midlaners at level 6 with no AP. Now she's been made more reliant on AP (which is a good thing but not a straight buff) - Everyone received more base stats over the years due to general damage creep and addition of things like runes reforged So yeah, Annie was thrown some bones over time to remain a playable champion, but framing it like it was only straight buffs is revisionist history. Like a lot of old champions, she has had her power budget reshifted around to fit the times, but only very few flat out buffs.

@@skayles4716 you may be right on the attack range but we cant ignore that they also buffed her base AD growth last season to improve her lane harrass, the utility buff to her E being able to speedboost allies was a huge quality of life buff, and the most recent changes to the champ are scarcely seen on any other league champ besides times like Kassadin E and Ahri/Wukong R. Because the damage reflection on her shield got a parameter buff which is straight up better than a numbers buff. Her popularity this patch alone is higher than any instance in the champ’s history. Pending tweaks to either the champ itself or botlane push prio meta this champ will hold high priority in Pro play as a support. The base stats aren’t really a factor as much as her utility capabilities are since if they need a damaging range support they can always just pick xerath/zyra or an ADC with sickle instead

Because its a very easy and simple gameplay loop and a lot of people find enjoyment out of more mechanically difficult champs

Wrong. There's a lot of stuff you'll learn to do and not to do with Annie after, say, 50+ games. The flash W is just one example, but you'll learn how to use tibbers more efficiently, mainly to bait and annoy people with the teleport range, also to use it to farm camps, and you'll learn not to give free gold to the enemy team by killing the bear. Tricking people with 3 stacks also seems pretty natural once you're seeing other people doing it, but as with every champ, it requires muscle memory. Also, farming with Q during laning phase isn't as easy as it seems, you'll run out of mana pretty quick if you fail to last hit a single minion (this can happen for a variety of reasons). And of course, the decision making concerning bursting main targets and efficiently using summoner spells, which are even more important with Annie than most champs.

@@madsantos Lol you 50% of what you said can be applied to any mage + those are details at the end of the day you can still outburst the carry and let your bear do the rest if you die, in laning phase you burst and shield so you get one of the most (Normaly its the best because its ez) trads, stun is literally brain dead all this together make her an assasin with a mage kit nothing can explain this or make it understandable ez champ ez damage free winrate but the easiest thing about her is the perma ban that is actually meta because of the insane double lane efficiency, i am just talking about midlane here so you can imagine the rest. For your laning problems at the beginning dont worry you will get use to it there is alot of champion that cant be played well until lvl 6 you will get better with some experience on those champions.

Usually jungler or support want place a ward in this bush so they counter this by go as team and kill this person. In this situation both teams want do this so they fought 5v5

they invade bot to place a ward in the middle bush, but i feel like for the most part ya they just doing a little bit of trolling.

They don't invade jungle because in korean challenger people know how to ward, so they invade bot instead, and if both teams do the same, you get this.

It's even crazier with 2 stacks, First Q, E, W (Better if it actually hits), the stun is way better than the damage W provides, they dont expect a stun with 2 stacks or even 1 if you are too badass

The reason why i love old champ and kick in the ass of these 200 years champion

NA and EUW like to invade jgl. Korean invade bot lane lvl1 cause giving one kill to the ADC is op

@@XX-br5bn thanks for explainin :). still wouldnt invading jg also able do the same thing ? gettin kills

​@@airix3 Chall kr know how to defend normally their jungle with vision

@@fallenmoon3071 ahh ok kinda makes sense ty ty

W - flash, it buffers it so as soon as you're done flashing, the W is cast. It's a tad faster then flash W and enemies can barely react to it. Similar to Leona's E flash.

W- flash, flashing during the cast startup of W

Because that's just wrong. They're "the most broken" because they're easy. But easy champions have easy counters. Hard champios have less counterplay. You can counter annie with lots of stuff. Basically any champion that has an anti-burst mechanic, like Galio, Ryze, Yasuo and Yone as long as you're not dumb, Sylas, Mordekaiser, Veigar sometimes, Pantheon... I could go on forever. The list is long

Making it work on spells was a big mistake

They didn't change anything for its W in years

I remember some caster said "if annie have flash, she have sona's ult"​

@@vsksan7485 you'll almost never see annie defensively flash :D

I mean he made a garen guide, why not other easy champs?

Tf weakness isn't related to his point and click stun and Annie's strength isn't either.

@@lov3mena261 low elo rhetoric vs high elo rhetoric, spot on my friend well said

@@lov3mena261 but TF weakness is related to his point and click stun on a short CD, but also on his map presence and why he is just a stun bot until late game where he can 1shot carries.

she was always good but boring but now shes op so is have to be played its as simple as that

@@kibbylol yes this

The buff was not small though that big a buff on any easy champ is of course going to make people play it

thats not true annie almost always has a 50%+ in mid lane all ranks. Shes well balanced and always been a good champ to climb with

@@liamneslind5708 she lose hard again poke champion. Only dangeous if she have flash, i dont think there is any high rank Annie except anniebot

You don’t even need no fancy stun mechanics, tibber can handle things for you
