And what would you define as "too high"? Many other champions have far more damage that they can apply more easily, so that invalidates that complaint, and you're basing your entire criticism on numbers alone, when there's a host of other factors, like difficulty, interaction and the like, that are just as important. There is no question that this version of Annie has more counterplay than Annie on live, and I feel that massive loss in reliability, as well as several other instances of power, would be an opportunity to give her more power elsewhere.
