I think the problem with Annie is that she has: - a reliable stun - insane range of that stun with flash up - incredible amount of burst damage - which is instant and almost impossible to dodge

Something has got to give..

If you keep that playstyle you will be stuck with the problem that Annie will be completely binary, something that riot usually tries to avoid. Also, I believe champions should not be balanced around summoner spells. You basically limit Annie to being useful once every 5 minutes.

I think Annie is one of those champions on which a large part of the community seems to agree is very frustrating to play against. I think it is wrong to try and save a champion identity, when the identity is the exact thing that makes a champion frustrating. (being flash tibbers, insane amount of burst, no counter play) Annie has enough other parts of her identity that you can build on instead, which would make her a far less binary champion.

On a side note, I would love to see Tibbers become like the badass from the cinematic (including spawn animation, rito please). Make Tibbers scary, make him leap, make him maul. Relocate the threat of Tibbers to him being alive, rather than stun+damage cast.
