The range nerf is fine. 575 means you won't ult anyone whose within standard casting range so this actually allows for more harass. Against other mages her kit really isn't out of line and before the silence nerf on assassins she was very counterable in that regard as well but since then and being in bottom lane where some very mild supports hold the line she sort of dominates when played well.

If players have trouble dealing with Annie's stun they need to play her more seeing as you can tell when her stun should be up and as an opponent you can look at her items and stun charges. Her zoning on the forth spell can be problematic though but the only solution would be creating a brief window for plays and punishing those with a lack of initative.

So basically a window where she builds up a charge that goes out automatically but can be consumed for a stun. I wouldn't advise that sort of change though.
