Annie have no counterplay, bad example man. I remember picking syndra against a yasuo and melting him down a lot. Many marksmans actually can fight assassins evenly and they stomp mages pretty easily early so mid isn't bad for them. However Against Yasuo (or other fighters and tanks) is pretty much what you want to avoid early, so top is not really ideal for many marksmens except for graves, quinn and Urgo.
