You're comparing a Burst Mage with a AoE/Cc mage, of course Lissandra will do less damage and seems to have a shorter stun, she has a molitity tool, two slows, a snare and a mana sustain tool to make up for that. They are used in entirely different situations... Pretty bad comparison imo.

Annie is indeed simple in design, that makes het both very predictable and interesting to use. Since everyone knows your game, people counteract it with practised ease, especially her since she has no mobility aside from Flash.

I personally don't think Riven is that much of a problem in League (once again, very clear strengths and weaknesses) and neither is Annie. Annie and Riven both need heavy damage and both die easily if they only start to build damage. I'll admit I play both from time to time in the midlane and they are indeed very strong and capable, in the right hands.
