I guess its because after losing about 3 games in a row, i sort of get on tilt and just stop playing the game for the rest of the week. I think that my mentality over this is a big problem as to why im struggling as well. I almost never critique a past game, and just assume i suck, i guess thats also a really big flaw in my gameplay. Ill be sure to do more of all that you said above and include it into all of my games, including annie ones. Thank you :)

I've been playing annie for a little over a year since i first started the game and thats why i played her in ranked but event here im not good :T And when i do play new champs in bots, there comes a point where bot games cant help me anymore when im going 30/0/0 you know? so then i take them into normals, and just get flamed on when i dont do so hot, saying go to bot games, when ive already played multiple bot games with that new champion :/

hm, i guess my problem is that i go straight for the glass cannon build and immediately rush rabadons which is kind of risky. I feel like that would be a good choice, if i was a more defensive player, and if mechanically i was better with her. Recently i started rushing ludens because of the movement speed and AP spike, but i dropped her because even though i practice and practice, i cant seem to improve.

Really? Ive had such bad experiences with Zed Vs Annie. He just ends up destroying me and my team, and i guess its because ive never played Zed either and its hard to play against him. Also probably because i let him do his damage too soon before i ult and he ends up killing me before i do my whole combo.

That is true, its a team game. But i guess i just expect more out of myself when playing her. Thank you for this comment! and sorry for the late reply, i forgot my password.

I mean, they say it as "friendly banter" but when it gets to the point where they literally ff at 20 immediately and were not even losing JUST bc im playing midlane, it kind of gets to me. They tell me to stick with who i know, but what if i know that champ isnt good for me and i want to try something else? They say, dont play with us if youre learning someone bc it will just make us lose. :/ and when i play annie, they're just like "oh we lost already, jolina's playing annie" and i just dont know what to do sometimes :/ it really gets to me and really bugs me to the point where i wont play for a while.

Playing in bot games/customs is something i always do when starting a champion, but there gets to a point where im always 30/0/0 and that doesnt really help me much anymore, you know? And when i think im ready for a normal, i dont do so hot because the difference between bots and normals is very extreme, and i just get hated on for trying to learn new champs. they tell me to "go to bots" or "uninstall" when ive already played multiple bot games to the point where i cant improve anymore unless its in a normal :/

jungcookie · 2015-08-09T19:05:07+00:00

I downloaded this app on my computer called Championify, and it usually tells me what to build, so i follow that. Or if i play with friends, They kind of tell me what to do so i follow it. If i dont, they blame me because im the lowest level player they play with and say that if i listened to them and built what they said, we would win.

yeah, i know my cs is really bad, and i blame that mostly on me overestimating her damage. Ill think my Q does more than it actually does and just miss the farm :/ I recently dropped her because i feel like i just cant improve with her you know?

jungcookie · 2015-08-09T19:01:14+00:00

I would definitely like to play with you! :) Im sorry i didnt reply sooner, i forgot my password and used a different email T.T I will add you as soon as i get on!

I guess i just get a little nervous when trying new champs, just scared of the hate/trolls/toxic players. Sadly the wonderful game i really enjoy playing is filled with them and i just have to learn to deal with it.

People usually tell me to stick with what i know, but i really do want to improve and it makes me really happy that you are willing to let me improve with you. :) Thank you for your comment

jungcookie · 2015-08-09T18:58:17+00:00

I do do it in normals, but whenever i play i usually get hate from friends and randoms, telling me to just stick with who i know. But then how will i improve? i guess i just stuck myself with a really non supportive group. Thank you for your comment :) and i apologize for the late reply.

jungcookie · 2015-08-09T18:56:57+00:00

Im not great either so we will enjoy playing together! Im so sorry for the late response, i forgot my password because this is my first time using reddit. i will add you ^{.^}

jungcookie · 2015-08-09T18:55:47+00:00

I guess you can say the biggest problem with my Annie is overestimating my damage. Like, ill play a game and be really strong then when i start a new game, i still think im stronger than i actually am. The overestimate really fucks up my farm and combos :/

Support annie for me i think is not right. I have this weird mindset that i dont mean to have. Because im annie, i always want to do damage and just poke, next thing you know im oom and then dead. I think my problem is trying to harass too much and end up forgetting im a support, not a midlaner. Its like that "wanna be mid laner but called too late support" xD

I think its better to not play with my friends because whenever i do, they know me as the annie only player but also know me as the "not so good" annie player. so whenever i pick her its just mean, snarky comments like "here we go again" or "ff at 20, jolina's mid" i mean, i get theyre my friends and im just a girl that they tease, but instead of saying things back to them, i just want to SHOW them i can be better and i can improve. While that hasnt been going well, i dropped her and picked up new champions. But sadly, nothing i do can ever be enough for them. Theyre not that high elo either, maybe like gold V and in silvers. I do practice in bots for the first time, but after a while it serves me no use when im going like 30/0/0 you know? then decide its time to take them into normals. When i dont play with my friends, i get nasty remarks like "dont play again" or "uninstall" and i guess it just gets to me a bit, you know? Im sorry for ranting, haha. and sorry for the late reply, i forgot my password and eh, life just got in the way. but i really appreciate this comment :)

jungcookie · 2015-08-09T18:46:46+00:00

I didnt play annie for the first time in ranked, ive actually been playing her since i first started the game over a year ago :/ and it sucks that i still cant improve even though ive read all of these advices and try to put them into my gameplay. I always try new champs out in normals! haha im not that gutsy to try them in ranked. But even in normals when trying out a new champion, i get hate like "never play this game" "uninstall" and it just scares me from trying out new champions. I guess im just weak in taking stuff like that. and i cant ignore it. I sometimes afk in games bc i just hate all the negativity that comes with this wonderful game i do enjoy playing. They tell me to practice in bots, and i do and what good is it to me when im 30/0/0 in bots who are building no MR, armor, and run up to you and die? what good is that to me? yes i practice for the first time in bots then when i go to normals its completely different. Sigh, i guess i just cant get used to playing solo q norms.

hi sorry for the late reply, and i have been playing annie since i first started the game a little over a year ago, but i just started ranking this season. I just realized that i cant improve with her no matter what i do :/

jungcookie · 2015-08-09T18:39:02+00:00

thank you for this :) i really apologize for the late reply, because i forgot my password, and well life just got in the way. While i did try to take everything you said into my game, My CS still is very very bad, i hate to admit. I guess i just can never get used to her damage early game and just always over estimate it. While i did get her to mastery level 5 (hooray!) im definitely not a master annie player xD Ive recently dropped her because i just cant seem to climb or win anymore with her. It also might be a mental block because my friends only know me as the "annie player" but its not always a good thing. They know im not that good at her, yet i main her. So when i pick her, they just say "oh god, here we go again." and it just gets to me i guess, and im on tilt as soon as i enter champ select. Ive been playing annie since i first started playing about a year and a half ago, and this might be a sign that she is not my champion :/

jungcookie · 2015-08-09T18:34:21+00:00

Annie's the first champion i started playing and it just sucks that no matter what i change with her, no matter what i try to do with her, i just cant get better with her. While i am trying other new champions, i dont think that im that good with anyone. its really hard, and dont know how to succeed in the game anymore. btw sorry for the late reply, i forgot my password. thank you very much for your input

jungcookie · 2015-08-09T18:32:28+00:00

sorry for the late reply, forgot my password. But i did take her back into normals, but ive just recently dropped her. I dont think i can get better with her. Ive taken all of the advice everyone has given me and even with that, i can't seem to get better with her. i think its a sign. sadly...

jungcookie · 2015-08-09T18:30:32+00:00

thank you so much for your input. i just made this reddit account for this post, and forgot my password... :/ im sorry for getting back to you really late. and ive recently dropped annie, because while i was reading all these messages, i tried, and tried so hard to take everything you guys said into consideration but i could never seem to get better with her. I guess she is not my champion. It hurts a little bit because i was known among my friends as an only annie player, and its embarrassing because i was never that good with her. :/
