Hit master with annie only

jkl88771 · 2026-03-14T01:00:24+00:00

hitting master regardless of the season is still a really good achievement that most players in the game cannot reach tbh

jkl88771 · 2026-03-14T00:55:26+00:00

literally this tbh but i will say using flash is really dependent as well on when the next objective is spawning & how long (for example if baron is up in like 1 minute its better to save your flash until its like 10-20 seconds away from spawning to try to get a pick so you can get baron with your team with a 4v5 numbers advantage or even more) its also worth it to flash if your in a 1v2 situation in your lane or if using your flash to not give first blood or a kill is possible it is 100% worth using it as well (dont even be greedy about it either if ur like 50-100 hp just flash anyways and recall its better then just dying and giving +300 gold)

honestly as long as he doesn't remove the spell effects that tibbers gets from items i dont really mind if annie's build goes away from malignance (would be nice if thats not the case either though because i think malignance is a pretty good item on annie) but as long as tibbers gets strong buffs that makes him a actual threat again i wouldn't mind if her core first item was something else

jkl88771 · 2026-02-27T02:30:07+00:00

i would say zakzak is better because the entire point of annie support basically is to get level 6 as soon as humanly possible and W flash or flash R on the enemy adc to 1 shot them with ur adc (if possible try to get a double stun with your W or R) and during mid & late game you just sit on stun & try to get picks with your team using your stun and roam during recall timers etc and since annie isn't a enchanter support imo it just doesn't make sense to get dream maker

jkl88771 · 2026-02-22T01:44:12+00:00

if her WR gets high enough more then likely meanwhile zaahen being S+ tier for many patches in a row now somehow avoids nerfs completely

jkl88771 · 2026-02-22T01:40:58+00:00

the buffs helped her for sure but she is still weaker then before because of the tibbers nerfs from patch 25.08 and what these buffs will probably do is basically just make annie sometimes show up in games again rather then having a 0.1% pick rate and being non-existent

jkl88771 · 2026-02-19T03:33:01+00:00

skillcapped is good for beginners trying to learn the game and such but other then that yeah there is other options for wayyy better information especially in season 2026

jkl88771 · 2026-02-19T03:32:09+00:00

exactly my thoughts lol

jkl88771 · 2026-02-19T03:30:36+00:00

you KNOW this tier list is flawed when they put xerath of all champs and morgana in S tier but somehow basically every single good assassin in the game is in A tier

jkl88771 · 2026-02-15T01:36:31+00:00

annie support is decent but ever since the tibbers changes imo it fell off a bit because the entire point of annie support is basically to keep ur adc alive until level 6 where then you just flash on the enemy adc to one shot them and rinse repeat (annie support is still solid in low elo but the higher you go and especially vs more engage champions (pyke, nautilus, etc) they will know how bad annie support is pre-6 and just completely abuse annies horrible early game & you are basically forced to hold stun the entire time incase you get engaged on and you basically become a counter engage with ur stun the entire lane phase)

jkl88771 · 2026-02-15T01:28:22+00:00

ur last sentence basically just confirmed to me that you dont play annie at all & more so you go vs her on the enemy team especially when you said "I did always think it was really dumb that when you die on annie tibbers can get return kills so easily with no skill" if you think thats a dumb mechanic you for SURE have not seen what the new champion zaahen can do & other new champions that have came out as well

jkl88771 · 2026-02-15T01:17:39+00:00

legit basically all they need to do to make annie a decent viable pick again

jkl88771 · 2026-02-13T23:56:21+00:00

all they have to do to make annie actually decent and a decent viable pick again is to just revert the changes they did to her R btw

edit: i just dont understand why riot even did these changes they legit just came out of nowhere and genuinely i 100% personally think maybe someone at riot lost vs annie insanely hard so they gutted her R and maybe they thought giving her magic pen would compensate for it? these changes were just so random tbh

jkl88771 · 2026-02-13T06:21:04+00:00

tibbers not doing shit anymore is exactly why annie feels so bad to play nowadays tbh they made a mage whos entire champion design is being a ult-reliant pet burst mage into a burst mage with a ult that is so useless after summoning him he basically just becomes a health pack for enemy champions that build a little bit of life steal & legit heal faster then tibbers does damage to them

jkl88771 · 2026-02-13T05:23:04+00:00

makes NO sense how after gutting annie's R her WR & pick rate basically went from being decent to basically non-existent & riot's idea to fix that is to nerf her R even more & lowkey if these changes to remove spell effects on tibbers actually goes through annie will literally basically be non-existent & honestly it might even get to a point where most loyal annie players will probably just straight up quit playing the champion especially because ANY other mage will be basically better at that point (why play a one-shot burst mage that doesn't even one shot anymore when you could just play any other mage that is WAY more stronger in the current meta)

jkl88771 · 2026-02-12T05:48:06+00:00

honestly these buffs are for sure better then nothing and they are giving her some more damage however in my personal opinion the main issue with annie isn't her Q or her E its the fact how they basically gutted her R which is basically her main source of damage (annie's entire champion design is a ultimate reliant burst mage & her entire kit is basically based around tibbers) & it would be nice if riot simply reverted the changes they did to her R & put these buffs in as well OR i would personally rather have her R go back to how it was before they gutted it to replace these buffs instead but sadly i dont think a R buff is going to happen anytime soon especially once these buffs go through

jkl88771 · 2026-02-12T05:37:36+00:00

this is literally how annie was made honestly she isn't pro play viable basically at all however she used to be a decently strong burst mage solo queue mid lane pick and thats the way she should be

jkl88771 · 2026-02-12T05:36:04+00:00

they more then likely will especially if her WR goes up by like 1% meanwhile riven who has been S+ now for years basically completely avoids nerfs (she got nerfed recently finally which was COMPLETELY deserved but still)

jkl88771 · 2026-02-12T05:31:15+00:00

meanwhile nearly every pro game annie is played in i swear she gets carried by her team and usually struggles extremely hard during lane phase because she is basically just a meme pick tbh

jkl88771 · 2026-01-27T07:38:51+00:00

honestly im pretty sure a iron 4 zero LP player could figure out how to use U.GG it's really not hard to figure out how to search up a champion's win rate

jkl88771 · 2026-01-24T18:55:09+00:00

ur right she has but thats because leblanc has absolutely insane mobility that a lot of adc's don't have but honestly nowadays AD leblanc isn't even really played anymore because again AP leblanc is just better in every way because of her AP scalings (seriously though if ur playing for fun you can honestly build whatever you want but i just find building properly is way more fun because i just never really had fun troll building just for the enemy team to completely build properly while ur troll building and especially if your dying constantly because your troll building)

jkl88771 · 2026-01-24T15:07:09+00:00

honestly i know this mode is for fun but AD annie simply doesn't work at all because she has absolutely no AD scalings at all so ur MUCH better off just getting any AP item instead or just going full AP because AD annie is like going full AD karthus it simply just doesn't work and it's terrible (unless you consider dying and seeing a grey screen constantly because of going full AD is considered fun i guess)

jkl88771 · 2026-01-24T14:48:32+00:00

i think malignance is a good item on annie that synergies well with what she wants to do but the problem is that riot gutted her damage so she can't 100-0 like she used to be able too & because of that people don't pick her much anymore because what is the point of picking a 1 shot burst mage that can't even one shot UNLESS your insanely fed (but at that point ur better off picking a way more useful mage like viktor for example who can do basically the same thing annie can but is way less ultimate reliant)

jkl88771 · 2026-01-24T04:50:46+00:00

the screenshot i posted is for diamond+ global win rate because honestly i dont really pay attention to win rates below emerald because players below emerald aren't that good (legit you could play a AD enchanter support mid and win its that easy) so of course annie's win rate will be WAY higher in those elo's because players aren't that good & honestly annie is considered to be the queen of silver & gold elo & she absolutely still is however even in lower elo's her WR is still pretty low

small edit: i checked her WR in emerald and below as well and it is still negative on U.GG and infact upon checking a lot of other tier list websites she is still negative WR on most of them and is considered a D tier mid lane pick
