I mean, it would make her less able to freely choose who she bursts, and also make farming for her not the easiest thing in the world, but it would, at best, be a band aid solution for the more frustrating parts of her kit.

Actually, since we're stating her biggest problem, to me it's that summoning her bear is supposed to be her big moment of power, but it's not really summoning the bear that's strong, it's the giant AoE stun part of it. That just bugs me, especially because the bear actually does a lot because Riot wanted Annie's bear to be what makes her different from other mages. As she is right now, the bear is just kind of there for thematic reasons.

I'd like if they really made her kit interactive with that bear in some way, not only would that let them kill her instant stun burst combo, but it would also make her a more interesting champion. The only problem would be that you'd be alienating current Annie mains, but there's a point where something needs to be done, regardless of an Annie main's opinion, if it's negatively effecting gameplay as a whole. The best situation would be if Riot could satisfy everyone though.

For real, you could make Brand's W summon Tibber's and he'd be the same amount "bear mage" as Annie.
